Cold & windy
Or, at least, that's what it's been like for the last several days. We had our first and (hopefully) only taste of a real Saskatchewan winter over the weekend. Daytime highs of -33C, with windchill warnings of -43C, meant that we spent even less time outside than we would normally have. Poor Dad, just recently returned from Lompoc, CA, was really feeling the cold :-(
However, the extreme cold and wind made for some interesting pictures. We had spectacular sundogs driving out to Aberdeen one morning . . . and they lasted for a good portion of the day.
The weather also made for some interesting (and not too particularly pleasant) driving conditions. Driving back into Saskatoon one afternoon, the snow was blowing across the highway to the extent that we could barely see the lines. It's a good thing we'd taken it instead of the grid road, as I'm not certain we'd have been able to tell where the gravel road ended and the farmers' fields began!
