Loading the truck this morning was a 'chilling' affair. It was clear, windy, and minus 24. Pumping fuel was even worse. My 'full' fingered 'riding' gloves just did not cut it...my hands almost froze! Within an hour the temperature had hit minus 28 and never made it above minus 21 for the entire day...not exactly 'sweating' weather.
It was a typical drive across the prairies, long and boring...and it is not done yet. We saw lots of cattle still grazing in the fields despite the frigid temperatures and the snow covered fields. The highlight of the day was the sighting of a 'snowy owl'. It has been more than 20 years since I have seen one.
We are 'overnighting' in Regina...and it is still 'bloody cold' outside and getting colder! We are presently watching the Grey Cup!
