Today it is -46°C (-50.8°F) with the wind chill here in Manitoba, Canada. I hope everyone else if having better weather than I am.

Reasons why I'm happy to no longer live in central Alberta. (which gets just as cold.)

It's been snowing a bucket here.  Normally it snows and melts right away, but this snow has stuck around.  Not necessarily on the roads.  

Supposed to be warmer tomorrow (9C).  I can't get used to F.

I'm laughing at your guys' dogs who don't like being wet.  I think I have a vid of Nero as a puppy refusing to pee or poo because it's raining and he's melting.  He doesn't like being cold either (he wraps himself in blankets when he sleeps... literally pulls them over his head.) but wet is the devil.  Unless it's water out of the hose. Then it's game on.

Water out of the hose is still evil here. Last year when it was so hot I got a little kiddie wading pool, thinking Herself might like to cool down. No joy

Pity, it confers no honors on me. He becomes His Excellency, Schuyler van der Mittelbruck, Baron of the Court of Atlantia. In a group the language is so arcane I have to work to follow a conversation. 

If he goes it won't be this year. All his garb still fits, and he has plenty to do the entire three weeks. I'll have to work like the very old devil to outfit myself. I am Elenor, not Godiva.
