I was out doing a quick grocery shop today, and man it’s cold and windy! Temp is -6°C with winds gusting up to 60 km/h. The combination is brutal. The cold snap also brought snow – Snowplow Guy had to do actual real work for the first time this winter.

But there’s always a bright side. I love the convenience of using the garage as a fridge, avoiding clutter in the actual refrigerator. I currently have in the garage: two cases of bottled water, three cases of Coke Zero, a dozen eggs, a bottle of white wine, a large pizza, and, needless to say, two large vats of clamato juice for Caesars! The garage is beginning to look like a grocery store which for some reason has a car in it. It will be a tough adjustment when the weather warms up.
