This is one of the great mission fields in North America. It is also warm. We do see snow on the surrounding mountain peaks, but we don't actually have to touch it. The last time it snowed on the valley floor was 50 years ago. Mind you I did have to cover up our Bouganvilla last night.

There's not much to choose from between Edmonton and Grand Forks at -30F. It just happens a bit more often in Edmonton.<BR/><BR/>The main difference between Canada and the US seems to be availability of good parkas and the willingness to wear them. We have lots of good ones but I can't convince my teenagers to wear them. <BR/><BR/>As a boy in Labrador, I had the dubious pleasure of walking home (once) in a -80F wind chill. That was a once in a lifetime event or my dad would have taken a transfer out much earlier. Even good parkas don't help much.<BR/><BR/>Bill in OttawaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-60368816241389367382008-12-15T22:50:00.000-06:002008-12-15T22:50:00.000-06:00PS, see what happens when Americans try to post on...PS, see what happens when Americans try to post on Winter, they just get subject to abuse from Canucks. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-12098987169444772162008-12-15T22:49:00.000-06:002008-12-15T22:49:00.000-06:00I think the error in my sentence above may contain...I think the error in my sentence above may contain a kernel of truth ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-27805266436416949872008-12-15T22:46:00.000-06:002008-12-15T22:46:00.000-06:00Bah, again. -35F is for girls.
