It's a balmy -25 here ... but who cares ... the World Junior Hockey Championships are being played in Saskatchewan (where it is even colder) ... who can feel the cold when Team Canada is rolling over the opposition, beating Latvia 16-0 and Switzerland 6-0
But seriously, we are better prepared and equipped. We had quite a blow last nite. Temps in the -20s and lots of blowing snow, lake effect stuff. As I was walking ... yes, we don't let a little winter stop us ... home last nite from the bar, the city plows were out on the streets; and the sidewalk plows were keeping things clean for pedestrians. And the weather didn't even make the local news. We have about 20 large plows for the city. They are as big as houses, and you get out of the way when you see them coming. We don't wait for the storm to be over before sending out the plows ... with the first snowflake, the boys are out sanding and plowing.
