  • Frigid but bright...love Edmonton in the winter!

    Here's what the Edmonton Journal said about yesterday. ....and a few of my own photos....

    "EDMONTON — Edmonton's weather boasted two dubious distinctions Sunday: it was colder here than anywhere else in North America and it marked the coldest Dec. 13 in the city's history.

    Environment Canada recorded a frigid minus 46.1 C, or minus 58.4 C with the wind chill, at the Edmonton International Airport at 5 a.m., said meteorologist Pierre Lessard.

    The old record of minus 36.1 C was set last year.

    "To break a temperature by 10 degrees is very exceptional," said Lessard."

    It was a Sunday afternoon romp in record breaking cold front but still bright and dogs love it!

    Monday 14 December 2009 Tonight.. Clear. Ice fog patches developing overnight. Wind up to 15 km/h. Low minus 37. Extreme wind chill minus 50 overnight.

  • So pretty. I'm such a sucker for fluffy dogs playing in the bright snow. I love looking out the window and watching my Golden Retriever's breath in the cold.

    I visited my two Husky friends yesterday, Astaire and Ginger. It's only in the 30s here - they're still waiting for the REAL winter to come!

    Stay warm!! :)

About me...

An Albertan & Canadian, definitely a northern gal. Social worker by profession, this blog has included some of my work over 10 years in Nunavut from 2002 on. Passionate about slowing down & taking time to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors or kindness in relationships as gifts & blessings; injustices against children in situations beyond their control; my faith; Nature, experiencing the outdoors whether cycling, walking. x-c skiing or gardening, my dogs, capturing on film God's beauty, experiencing life intensely & with the senses, richness of late afternoon light, wind in my hair cycling with my dog on a beach road, couching inches from an arctic flower or alpine lichen to capture it with my camera, insight of a student's new learning, a good conversation over a coffee.
