So, at least we’re getting a double use out of the skating rink. It’s now a wading pool as well.

Who would possibly have believed that we’d have -35C and rain within weeks of each other, in Winnipeg in February? It got above freezing in January too, then back down to -30C. The potholes are going to be monstrous come spring.

The street out front of our house is a skating rink. The slick ice is wet, so the almost unnoticeable depression at the corner has become a car trap. A large moving van got stuck spinning its wheels this morning and had to be pulled out, and we’ve watched two more cars sit on a seemingly flat surface completely unable to move.

I have a bunch of errands to run, but I don’t think anyone is going anywhere for a few days until everything freezes and the sander truck comes by.

Nice for the foundation too:
