No shoveling today, after a mild day yesterday, everything has frozen solid - it would be like hacking away at concrete! Daughter and I got a space cleared yesterday so I can get my car out, so I went early to pick up some groceries. It was bitterly cold and hardly warmed up at all today so I wasn't out after that.
Had a Zoom meeting with my Probus club this morning and there was talk of possibly meeting in person by March. However, the numbers would probably have to be limited - not sure how that would work out as we often have over 100 people attending. The speaker was interesting although we had some technical difficulties with the sound. Nevertheless, it was nice to see some familiar faces.
Tennis from Australia is on TV each evening at the moment, running into the wee small hours, but I have managed to catch some good matches. Still two Canadians in the mix but they have had tough matches so far. Hope they can sustain their winning streak. It's very hot there in comparison to our frigid temperatures!

| Yes, that's negative 22 degrees tonight - a cold week coming up. |
Hope your book supply lasts through this cold spell.
ReplyDeleteI still have three so that should last me. I am waiting for the newest Diana Gabaldon book which should come sometime in February!
DeleteICICLES!!!!! Bitumen is melting here.
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a contrast. I don't suppose you often get sub zero temperatures. I was in Melbourne in July and it was more like our Spring.
DeleteNever subzero in Melbourne. The outer suburbs in the hills, quite often.
DeleteOh, my goodness - that really is very cold indeed. It it likely to last long?

Quite often we will have a January (or February) thaw but it is likely the snow won't start to disappear until well into March.
DeleteThat's good that you got your car out for a run. We on a grocery curbside pickup run today. I will say the only thing that's good about these temperatures is the sunshine & reports say this cold will help to kill off the excess of Gyspy Moth eggs.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the back of the Gypsy moths. It was very pleasant today when I was out trying to get rid of the pile still on my driveway. I wasn't cold at all. Mind you, I was working pretty hard.
DeleteYes a bit different in temperature, will probably be low 30s C in most areas of southern Victoria in Australia. We are lucky to live 5minutes walk to the bay,so the evenings generally cool off. Sadly due to covid won't be thinking of going into the big city this year for the tennis.It makes a fantastic day out.
ReplyDeleteI am a volunteer at the Canadian tournament. Although it's not a major event we still get a lot of the top players.
DeleteWe are in the midst of a bit of a warm up for a few days. That means rain turning to ice, turning to snow. Not my favourite winter weather at all.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
