The Weather Outside Is Frightful...

What a lovely winter's day here in Southern Ontario. It snowed a good 10 cm overnight, and topped it off with freezing rain this morning, giving everything a translucent crunchy quality. I say today was lovely, only compared to the bitter -37°C (with the windchill) we experienced earlier this week, a 60-year low for December.

ASIDE: windchill is one of those words I haven't had to use since moving to Seattle. Remind me of this the next time I complain about missing Canadian winters.

The bright side to all this cold and snow, of course, is that I was justified in taking up precious luggage space with my hiking boots.
