-40 Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Okay, so I feel like a baby thinking -15 was cold.

A few weeks ago temperatures here dipped down to -40. EEK!
Did you know that -40 Celsius is the same as -40 Fahrenheit?
I opened the blinds in the morning & could barely see out the window with all the ice build up.

Just before sunrise I took a step outside.

- 35 before the wind chill

Now that's cold!

The last couple of weeks have been strangely warm, especially after that deep freeze.
Yesterday it was even +5! The snow has been melting off the rooves & making amazing icicles.





Around here we barbecue all year long...


Today it is -5 which is a pretty comfortable temperature.
The sun is shining & it is shaping up to be a beautiful day.


A beautiful sunny day tend to lead to amazing reflections at sunset...
Here's what I got to watch as I cooked dinner tonight:)


As my time here is coming to an end I am making sure to soak up every ounce
of beauty I can before I am gone.

Back to the Snowy North

I was feeling over due for a blog post.

It's really cold out there!
We have so much snow it's almost to the tops of the trees...
just kidding...


There is however frost on the outside & inside of the window.

A little sunshine pops through between snowfalls.

This is before the wind chill, which is definitely present today!

I didn't take many pictures over the holiday season,
but here are the Christmas Eve shots from when my nephews came over.
It was my first Christmas with them & I was pretty excited!

The troops arrive!

Kane shows Papa the picture he painted for him.

Dinner time:)

The group photo (minus Aaron who is taking the picture).

Present time...

Auntie playing with my awesome nephews:D

I loved every minute of it!
