mala_14Rain + Cold = Me slipping on the sidewalk and hurting my bum
Boo! So now my lower back/hip hurts. And it's a real kicker because I had JUST gotten to the very, very end of the sidewalk. It was the last step before entering the car. And then Whoops! There i went. School should just be closed. Nothing closes this town though. Not -50 degree Celsius weather, not major snowstorms, and not freezing rain. (In my entire, almost 23 years of living here, I can only remember one occasion when things were really shut down. And it was a HUGE snowstorm where the drifts were higher than six foot tall fences. And even then people were still out driving and driving snowmobiles. My brother and I went skiing in the back yard.) A few schools outside the city are closed, the school buses aren't running, and the city transit has a 20 min. delay notice, but schools are still open and people are still expected to go to work. Aren't we hardcore?

When i was younger i used to scate every winter on the fjord. And my best buddy had an iceboat with sail. It was lovely!
