We were at -26C (ish) with the wind today. BRR!! I wore my fleece jacket, down vest and thermal long johns - in the office! Went out in the afternoon and tossed a fresh cup of boiling water into the wind (20-35 km/hr) just to see... it turn into vapour right away. Very cool science project for the kiddos but freaking cold!

I decided to go for a hike today anyway. Started on the bluffs in the bush, walked down the walkway beside the train tracks, and ended up on the beach for some hot chocolate before I turned around. It's freakin cold out there, but really beautiful!











Canadian drift wood, eh!


I found a little horseshoe fungus on the way too!


Here's a little video, for a more authentic feeling of the cold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztzOlbHbI2E

Stay warm, dry and safe, and get out there an enjoy!
