Well, we just came out of a deep freeze. We were experiencing between 29 and 39 below since last Friday.  On the weekend we were at a tournament in a town further north and experience temps with wind chill bringing it to 50 below.  It was unbelievable.  I don't know how people cope with that on an ongoing basis.  I had to walk about 100 metres from the car to the door of the venue where the tournament was being held and in that time I could feel and hear the Blistex lip balm on my lips cracking!  It was wild.

The kids had swimming lessons on Monday and we forgot the hairdryer so when Anneliese came out she forgot to put a hat on and her hair was frozen!

Of course shovelling the driveway is a lot of fun! Not really but it has to be done.  When we finally got it happening the ice was coming off the driveway in slabs. 

But the upside of it all was that we had a lovely warm day today of -3!
