Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl

Every couple years I bust out this image again:

At the moment things aren't too bad--they were originally forecasting a foot of snow but thanks to the lake effect, or maybe just a bit of luck, it's currently 1°C above freezing so most of that actually came down as rain. But, the real harsh thing is the temperature. It's supposed to drop 15°C overnight, and then another 10°C over the next couple days and with wind chill, it'll drop down to -35°C next week. Hopefully I won't have to go into the office!

My parents were going to come into the city to see Laila today, but that obviously didn't end up happening. I did manage to get to the grocery store, though, so we should be fortified again the cold. Curry tonight, chili tomorrow, time to heat up.

That's really cold. When you do get snow do you build snowmen? I have always loved doing that since I was small.

Stay safe and warm!

The last few years there hasn't really been enough snow to build snowmen! I saw some at the park the winter five years ago, but right now there's just enough snow to cover the ground--you'd have to gather quite a lot of it for a snowman (plus, it's -20°C out).

Too bad. Laila would love to build a snowman.
