A nice pleasant weekend ... lots of wet snow on Saturday followed by a flash freeze that turned the roads into a rink. Sunday turned a little cool (-18) with a brisk breeze gusting up to flesh-freezing 65km/h. Like true Canadians, we in Kingston celebrated with FebFest, an outdoor event featuring skating, live bands, ice sculpting contest and a hockey game between ex NHL hockey greats like local lads Doug Gilmour and Kurt Muller, along with women's hockey star and Olympic gold medalist Jayna Hefford. And visting to sign autographs was Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe, four time Stanley Cup winner and Hall of Famer ... also known as Mr. Elbows for his physical type of play.

That's us ... when it gets brutaly cold, (or in Canadian, "brudal eh) go outside and enjoy it ...
