Last weekend, E & I went to MEC to buy long underwear in preparation for what is expected to be the coldest Winnipeg winter in years. But today, that long underwear was just not enough.
Today, I broke out the ski pants for the first time this winter. I know it won't be the last time, but I was hoping to hold out until after the Christmas break. So much for that.
As I stood outside at my bus stop, the one I transfer buses at, I thought about how much I hate winter. My bus stop has a heated shelter but I can't wait inside it. Why not? Because it stinks like urine and other unidentifiable but equally unpleasant smells.
So that leaves me ample time to stand outside in -37 degree weather thinking about how much Winnipeg winters make me go crazy. I'm counting down until the day we leave for a warmer climate. Somehow flooding, mudslides, and boiling your water doesn't seem as awful as 5 months of freezing!

it's -6 here and I thought that was just way too awful... you have my sympathy! I used to put scented hand cream on my nose when i was on the subway - it may sound odd but your nose is probably raw from the cold anyway and then you can't smell anything but whatever scent you choose! but you had the right idea about moving south - Victoria has 7 degrees above zero right now... crazy!
