Right now outside, it’s -28C. That’s in the exurbs of Toronto. In Bancroft, it’s -33.
In two days, my friends are taking their pallid northern bodies to lay on the beach for a week in the Dominican Republic. -30 to +30. But then they have to come back…
I LAUGH AT YOU, CENTRAL/EASTERN CANADA! WE HAVE OUR REVENGE!
Forecast says +1 here in Regina on Thursday. It’s only -7 right now anyway, it feels downright springlike after last week. If only I could be rid of this cursed cough.
Someone remind me I don’t have to start the car this week.
Adding your weight to the snow may do damage, especially with the cold making the shingles or other roofing material brittle. The snow rake may be a better idea if you can reach far enough with it. (My neighbour had problems like this with his roof one year because of climbing up to remove a heavy snow buildup.)
