Ok, I admit it - today was REALLY cold. I still walked to Javaroma, mind you (well wrapped), and the car started for driving to supper at my sister's, but goodness, was it cold! Trudy and Bill thought today/tonight was the coldest they've experienced in their four years. It's the windchill that meteorologists always talk about so glibly, now experienced first hand. So I checked the weather site - and indeed, it's -32 but feels like -47, with overnight temperatures just a little colder. This weather is supposed to last until the end of the week.
Oh well - dress warm, cover your face, wear the big sheepskin gloves. Walking is still surprisingly pleasant. And today there was a partial sun dog around the sun - not unique to Yellowknife, as I've seen them the odd time in Calgary, too - but very pretty. Apparently Aristotle was the first to have written of sun dogs (see Wikipedia Sun dog) - didn't know it ever got that cold in Greece!
