If this is winning I would prefer to lose.

Shouldn't complain I guess.....it has warmed up to a balmy -21°C now. But if it gets much colder I am going to start wearing my parka instead of just the fleece hoodie.

While we are not dealing with the cold weather that the prairies are experiencing right now, the approx 2 feet of snow that fell in the last few days makes for a good test of one's AFV recognition skills.

It's a Grizzly. And I did use my amazing AFV recognition skills as I have no idea where it is plinthed and don't think I have seen it before. So part two of this quiz it to give its location.

The location is the CFB Borden outdoor rust collection. Canada's continuing answer to no funds, no direction, no plan, no interest and a never ending legacy of parking vehicles on outdoor display.

Hi David,

Yes, they are in CFB Borden. I did an internet search and here is a link to some pictures in decent weather:

The first 2 images are of the same vehicle but there is a significant difference to the vehicle in the 3rd image.

John, hopefully I haven't highjacked your thread too bad, I think that we have all been experiencing some significant winter weather in this vast country of ours.

Colin
