baby, it's cold outside

What a wacky week for weather!

On Thursday
We had snow
Then rain
Then freezing rain
Then more snow
Combined with wickedly high winds
All in one day

Then yesterday the wind blew
All day
And it snowed
All day
Then stopped

Then last night
I thought I was going to see
The Wicked Witch of the West
Drive by my window on her bicycle
With Toto flying behind her
It was so GD windy!

Then this morning
We woke up to sunshine
And a BALMY
-29 degree celcius temp
That's -20 F for my
American friends

And now it's snowing again.

You think -29C is cold?
It is, but it isn't
Especially if you live in Regina, SK
(Smack dab in the middle of Canada
In case you were wondering)

It was apparently -50 C
The other night there

The woman on the news was standing outside
There in Regina, Saskatchewan
And she had a glass of water in her hands
She threw the water up into the air
And it was ICE before it hit the ground

I kid you not, people.

Brrrrr...
Now THAT'S effing cold.
