I woke up this morning to find that it has snowed overnight, and that it was indeed still snowing. There's probably around a half inch of snow lying on the ground, and the thermometer is telling me that it's currently -7
The road outside the apartment hasn't been ploughed, and there's not enough traffic to get rid of it otherwise. There are also no pavements on this street (or should I be calling them sidewalks, to fit in with the natives?), so while there's nothing there that I need to keep clear, there's also nothing there to walk on. I assume that I can't get stopped for jaywalking while walking on a road if there's no sidewalk.
The temperature has been floating above and below freezing for the last couple of weeks. The lowest I've seen it was -11, and that was during the day. That said, it was quite a lot warmer during the night - I think it clouded over. But I've been bundled up in my nice warm winter coat, and have scarcely noticed how cold it is - I mean, when there's a Tim Hortons on every corner, you're never far away from a hot cup of coffee.
