snowbirds
come here to bask
only -30
Actually, it’s -32 C (-25 F) as I write this at 6am. The poor snowbirds will be shivering even if it is warmer here than in the northern lands they came from. They are such cute little birds. The flocks of mostly white, brown-dabbed snow buntings add a nice touch to our winter scene.
Actually -30 isn’t unbearable in itself, but if you add even the slightest breeze, the cold becomes unbearable. According to Environment Canada Saskatoon, the wind is 12 kmph (7 mph), which drops the wind chill factor to -42″C, so they’ve issued an “EXTREME COLD WARNING.” That kind of cold usually closes the schools — which in turn will likely cancel our church ladies’ Sewing day as moms stay home with children.
And, once in a lifetime…
on a Tuesday I get to practice my 2's writing today
Temp here climbed to over 50 F. yesterday. Should be mild all weeks, with intermittent rain. Spring weather. I like it.

Everyone gets used to what they normally have, temp-wise, and learns to cope with it. Thanks for commenting.

And here’s me complaining about a hail storm that interrupted the sunshine just now!

I don’t really care for hail storms but, compared to -30, a passing storm doesn’t seem too bad. Thanks for reading and commenting.
