It's Brutal Outside

   And, of course, it had to happen on my first day back from Christmas Holidays. As of 6:00 this morning, it was -31 C, with the windchill -41 C. In fact, there was an extreme cold warning issued for most of the southern prairies, including our region.
   This is not unexpected by any means. It's late December, and bitterly cold weather is pretty normal for this time of year. In fact, we've actually had it fairly easy so far this winter, and even had highs on the plus side earlier in the month.
   We've even managed to escape the "polar vortexes" we seemed to have an endless amount of last year. Which is not a bad thing.
   But it was still a shock to the system yesterday going out to the car, having to scrape both inside and outside, and them having the power steering fluid in it turn to a gel, basically meaning it's back to "arm-strong" steering. It's do-able, but not fun at all.
   These are the kind of days I like to call plane days. You know, plane to Hawaii, plane to Florida, plane to the Dominican. You get the picture!
   Stay warm.
