Minus 15 Barrier

It was cold today. It was -14C when I left for work, with a wind chill taking it to -24C! Oddly enough, the temperature kept dropping until about lunchtime when it was -16C. By the time I left work it was still around -16C but the wind chill was down to -27C.
Up to this point I've not been too bothered by the cold, but waiting for the bus this evening was starting to get a bit uncomfortable. Another 15-20 colder is going to be an experience. I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Christmas Already?

Christmas fever is nutty over here. Every major department store has huge arrays of Christmas stuff & the locals get all excited.
So does Kerri, so I found out. She pleaded with me to buy a tree until I caved. We bought the tree & some decorations including lights for about $50. It'll be good enough for the next 2 years. The lights were my call & I found one set that has 16 different settings. Couldn't help myself.
