Just Another Winter Wednesday

Also I heard it's Valentine's Day.

I had to run to the local drug store last night to get my son (who decided last minute that he did want to do Valentines) a pack of cards for his classmates. Not surprising in the least, the card aisle was full of men and the Valentines displays were pretty picked over. Luckily there was still some Spiderman Valentines cards left.

I want to give you an idea of our weather this week:
Monday: -36C with wind chill (this hurts the face)
Tuesday: Almost out of washer fluid? Great! It's +6C making a slushy melty mess
Wednesday: Here's more snow and for fun lets have some gusting wind warnings and freeze everything up, driving will be an adventure!
Thursday: hahaha you'll never know, but probably not good

Here is a photo of a place I found last year and stopped again on my way to Oyen on the weekend.

  8. I always liked doing valentines in school. School was pretty strict, everyone had to bring them and they had to give one to every kid in class.

    1. Hi Adam, I did too. I think that is the general unspoken rule still. Some moms went all out and gave treats and goodies...I was not one of those moms lol!

  9. I like your two contrasting photos. One good thing about your weather is that it is moving east. Yesterday it turned mild. It was a good feeling to see the snow melting.

  10. I definitely like the bottom picture better! I am NOT a fan of snow and cold. Your weather sounds miserable; I can't imagine driving in that. I hope it warms up soon!

    1. HI Danielle, it is miserable lol! Luckily winter in parts of Alberta is broken up by the occasional chinook, which bring warm winds from mountains.

  11. I'm sitting here shaking my head in shock Jenn, how is that even possible -36C! I can't even begin to imagine it, but what makes it even harder is that it was 35C here a couple of days ago, crazy! This little house looks totally gorgeous in both shots. Keep warm, I wish I could send you some sunshine ☺

    1. Thanks PDP! I wish you could send some heat lol! +35 is pretty hot but I could live with it.
