We had a winter storm warning yesterday and at about 5pm, the snow started to fall and the winds picked up. Before too long, we were in white-out conditions...a blizzard. The temperatures started falling and by 4pm today, it was -27 Celsius. That is DANG cold! With the wind chill, it is about -35 Celsius...that's about -31 Fahrenheit!! And we had to dig ourselves out from under about 15-20 cm of snow.

My kids would love to see that much snow, we haven't had any, but I can't say the same...have fun:)
Jas - you forgot to bold skinny dipping... come on. I love that you've seen the changing of the guard. You ARE dang cold up there.
Wow. That's a lot of snow. And it's cold. We are having cold front come through AZ - yeah, but nothing like -30. I think we'll get to the upper 30's/low 40's - pretty cold for us. It'll snow in the higher elevations. We got a box from Jade from Canada - so I'm not sure if that is the package that you are referring to.
Addy has changed a ton. She's pretty talkative and so funny - also very independent. We'll have to skype you guys soon.
Love ya'll
Rylan and the gang
HA HA HA I totally remember pugging our cars in when I was a little girl.
I wish we had the hook ups on our cars down here, so we could plug them in. We could of used that nifty ability this week.
This is Nancy By the way. I'm glad you're a blogger.
You went skinny dipping?
Jaz, you win the cold contest. I thought it was cold here. Poor you! Hay love your list. Are you in your house yet??? I want to see PICTURES!!! Love ya
It's so strange to see a car plugged in. Glad I don't have to deal with that kind of stuff anymore.
