-35 degrees and falling

First of all, I need to wish happy birthday to my sweetheart Leanne, who turns 30is another year older today.

Today more than any other thus far this winter has me thinking of our trip to Mexico this May. I woke up to a temperature of -35 degrees (C) outside and a wind chill approaching -45. That is cold in any language I think.

Thankfully the van was kind enough to start for me today. It would have been a cold walk to work.

I just got a knock on the door as I was writing this. It was a friend’s brother who promised to give us a whitefish from his freezer. Little things like this remind me why it is I live in the north.
