We allow extra time every morning just to get snow pants, mittens, scarves, coats and everything else on. This makes sure a minimal amount of flesh actually freezes on the way to school. The extremes are certainly experienced as you overheat in all the gear while waiting for everyone else to don their gear only to be hit with the chill when walking out the door. I still have not mastered locking the front door efficiently with fully gloved hands - keys in Canada should just be bigger! (O.K. Mark just informed me that I did not actually lock the door this morning - oops)
I don't get it - It is dark when we leave for school and dark when we arrive home. Here's a pic of the kids as we left for school this morning. If it looks flopping cold, well you're wrong. It's FLOPPING FLOPPING cold.
Please tell me why are we doing this? That's right it's for the rich experience!!!!!!
The weather is (and I quote from Princess Bride) INCONCEIVABLE!!!
All of this said however we are certainly experiencing life - to its coldest.
WE ARE ALIVE!!!!!
PS The maximum temperature for tomorrow is expected to be minus 21c. Not too cold at all really!!!
