Winter around the world

We are Lucky to live here!

I am comforted by the thought that anything strong enough to survive Canadian winters is either prey and a predator. All those nuisances like flies, poisonous snakes, spiders and annoying small creatures that other countries suffer with, don't live through our cold and snow. Whatever does emerge in spring is really worth avoiding (bears, wolverines, coyotes, bison, etc), or worth shooting and stuffing.

Well not quite right Terry. We live in about as cold & crappy an area as you will find in Canada. Long and very cold winters (but it's dry cold if that makes any difference at -35.). Yet every spring the mosquitos are back in droves.

We don't have it that bad here in Shilo mind you. The nearest water is many miles away, and it is so dry and hot in the summer here they don't stand much of a chance. But it is not the winter that kills the little buggers off.

Did you notice the in Brian's tube video, the number of oil tank cars in that train. The environmentalists fight so we can't have the pipelines we need, so instead there are trains two miles long hauling across the country. Doesn't quite make sense.

Hi

So this is what we woke to. Double wide drive with a turnaround with my l'il 24" snow blower made for a long day.

Either 20-30cm snowstorms (5 in 2 weeks) or -35 windchill......3 months?! I won't last!! Luckily I'm off to Winnipeg in a week!
