-13C/9F and sunny.
Perfect Winter Wonderland-conditions. Went for some sun-hunting with the dogs and the camera. The sun's only completely up for about an hour, so timing is important.

Without even starting to read that I'm guessing b'y is very similar to beuy here (not sure if this will play on foreign youtube?)

Dis 'ow tis sayd in newfaland fer shar der buddy
(that's how it's said in Newfoundland for sure there buddy)

All joking aside the accent and mannerism/language is very similar to Newfoundland - right down to the swearing
sceever is not a word I have heard though, though I would guess it's meaning.

The Colourful Language of Maritimers

Here in O-taria (Ontario)

-3C (27F) and under a snow squall warning (more 'don't eat yellow snow' alerts)

Have a great day/evening/night everyone - need to go get horse and chook feed before it starts squalling.

Beautiful - I loved how the sun would come up at 9:30am, skim across the horizon and then set at 3:30pm when I was working up in the Taiga country (Boreal Forest). Made for gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and lovely sundogs.

Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada

Chinchaga, Alberta, Canada - where -43C is darn cold!

Is this a typical amount of ground cover for snow? I love those Spruce, they are so well adapted to the Boreal forest and the cold weather.

Who's your buddy?

It's quite little for this time a year, maybe 3 ft on open ground. We got a LOT in late november, then it sort of compacted with the rain in december, creating a hard surface.
We got a lot of snow yesterday in the form of soft, fluffy stuff. It was a workout showshoeing through lol

That's Taiga, and Logan just outside the picture. They're good dogs! Malamutes that love the snow

Not surprising, given the historic links between the places. The town I live in at the moment used to be the last/first port of call for any ships making that trip across the Atlantic - whalers, Hudson's Bay Company, some of the famous arctic exploration voyages...

Getting vaguely back on topic, it's warm enough here that the ground is saturated right up to the top of the hills with all the sudden snow melt.

I'd love to hear more about the climate in northern Canada! It always fascinates me how much of the land in "my" latitude is just downright inhospitable on other continents. Either because it's too inland, or the sea brings cold water, or other phenomenons. (Or, I suppose it's rather we who're the weird ones who have a comfortable climate this far north, with the Gulf Stream.)

Been crazy here past few years weather wise. Seems anything goes. I hate the cold and snow, but I live where the plants and animals require snow and cold to thrive. So it’s a love/hate thing I have going on with winter.

Hi Taiga and Logan! Good dogs!

Malamutes are great dogs - do you sled with them?
