Ya first real cold snap we've had like this in a few years, we've been spoiled. My dad use to tell me it was -60 when he walked to the one room unheated school uphill with only one boot. ahh the good ole days.

 

So were in better shape than that,,, they cancelled the buses here for the second day in a row, with exams supposed to be starting tomorrow.

We definitely have been spoiled, when we first moved here this was normal.......the last 3 years have been insane here...in the boat first week of April......+25C in March......no snow till December....crazy weather.
