Getting Used To The Cold...

is not an easy thing for people like us who hail from the far east. Even me, who likes the cold, am finding it a little too much to bear...and the best news is, it's not even winter yet. We've had lows of -9°C in the last week, and it snowed a few times. First snow is always best, cos after that the snow hardens and some melts but not all and then it turns into dirty slush. It's quite awful. MJ, who lacks body fat, has been finding it too cold, and so has Meg, whose solution to beating the cold is to have me carry her! The snow turns into sheets of ice along the sidewalks, and that becomes very slippery and dangerous. We're waiting for the next round of snowfall to make some snowballs and try to make snow angels too! I've heard the theory how to do that but have yet to try it. What the cold does bring though, are good photo opportunities...

This view is way better than the earlier ones!

It will be more adventurous when you have to drive in snow and sleet.

Don't know if you guys have it already but invest in a slow cooker. Soups really warm you up in weather like this.
