Windy walks...
On Thursday afternoon the office closed due to a blizzard, and since then the winds have remained high but temperature broke freezing this morning, from the usual minus 20oC.
At 8:00 AM we had light snow with 99% humidity and winds
ESE 52 km/hour gusting to 74km/hour
The following are some shots of when
out walking with one of the nurses. 
We used my ski poles to keep from slipping, but made it as far as the bridge at the othe end of town. 
The marker on the ice show the windscape 
and roads near the local fish plant were very icy. 
This stretched polar bear skin was one of the sights.

that's a whole different brand of winter up there!
@J_P_Savage - actually a touch of spring with the melting temps but agreed a different world...we are just below the Arctic Circle on south end of Baffin Island.
Wow! A blizzard and a polar bear skin, how interesting! Thanks for sharing, hope you are staying warm and doing well
