An Alberta Clipper diving across the Midwest through the day with flurries and areas of steady snow will be followed by the coldest air of the season so far. Yet another blast next week will rival prior December outbreaks of the past decade.
We had been in the woods for half a year now.
This is the first time the kids experience such cold and snow.
It is a headache for me, dressing the kids and keeping them warm.
Checking the website for weather changes hourly, has become a 'hobby' for me. When a frozen thermometer is displayed on the website, I freeze. Temperature shown may be -7C, but include in the wind chill, you get a realfeel of -14C. Tonight is going to be another cold night, with a frozen thermometer shown on the website. A cold freezing night with temperature of -16C. Are your teeth chattering as you read this?
It snowed all day, yesterday.
We woke up this morning and this was what we saw:
At least 2 inches of snow covering the walkway.
Strong wind had blown the snow into the covered walkway as well.
We couldn't see the windows of our car .. and the colour of our car didn't help much... WHITE.
The one good thing is that : We need not shovel the snow on the walkway.
This guy will drive a machine and clear the path, covered with snow, with his huge rotating brush. Will try to take a video and post it next time.
No wonder they call it .... a white christmas.
