2020 Here We Come

The big news for the first three weeks of January 2020 is the weather.  Is there anything Canadians like to talk about more?  Well we have good reason this year so far.

Let's talk about our delightful (not) period of -30 temperatures, the lowest recorded at our house was -39.9 on January 14.  It was a mighty cold week and our geothermal heating could not quite keep up.  So it was time for a space heater in the garage suite where our company was staying (yes, we had Kyla and Chris visiting all during this period) and we kept the masonry heater fireplace stoked all day.  We cocooned in the house, only going out for more cider.

Now we have another issue, it warmed up so quickly that great masses of wet, heavy snow is coming off the roofs.  Len has to work hard to move the snow so that the vehicles can come out of the garage.  He's working off the pineapple upside down cake he had for breakfast.

Len has to use the scrapper to break up the heavy snow before it can be snow-blown
