A sample of the winter driving we do on a regular basis “north of 60.” For those unfamiliar, “north of 60” means north of 60° north latitude, which is the boundary between Alberta and Northwest Territories.
Happy Friday!

Lake View
A view of Okanagan Lake from the KVR hiking trail.
The KVR Trail, which is a repurposed railway bed, is one of our favourite hiking trails. The views are spectacular and if you’re so minded, you can hike all the way between Kelowna and Penticton.
Happy Saturday.

Happy Friday.
Ice Foggy Morning
Early morning ice fog produced this hazy blue and white effect.
Happy Wednesday.
Winter Squirrel
Hungry squirrels are coming out to find food from their caches, despite the cold.
I often wonder how they manage to find them again, since they likely become buried in snow.
Happy Tuesday.
Sunny and Cold
A sunny cold view of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
We are experiencing a very cold spell over the next few days as a result of Arctic outflows. Our high tomorrow is expected to be -34 (-29F) with wind chill around -42C, so we need to be cautious about frostbite and vehicles and aircraft need to be babied. This Arctic outflow is expected to reach into much of North America, so if your temperatures suddenly drop, that’s probably why.
Happy Monday; stay warm.
Warmer Days …
… are calling as we work our way through this very, very cold period.
Good to remember that winter will have its way, but not forever.
Fireplace Time
It’s very cold out right now with our subarctic temperature hovering around -40C (-40F), so it’s time to think of warm fireplaces with comfortable chairs and good books.
Happy Saturday. Stay warm.
