The year is coming to a close.

Snow, ice and cold have descended on northern Alberta. Sure, there have been a couple of days above freezing, but mostly it has been below freezing, sometimes reaching almost -30c.

We are actually happier when it freezes to -10c or more. When it is warmer, the roads get slushy and the cars get dirty. Then we just have to visit the carwash again.

I am by myself now, but I have my wonderful children close by. They will help me make the best of the festive season I'm sure.

I will occasionally add some new comments and photos when I feel they interest you, the reader. If you have any questions or comments, send me a note below.
