Look! It's Bundleupagus...

Wind Speed: SE 31 MPH

Today...Cloudy. Becoming sunny with cloudy periods this morning. Increasing cloudiness late this afternoon. Local blowing snow this morning. Wind southeast 50 km/h becoming west 40 gusting to 60 near noon. High minus 2 with temperature falling to minus 7 this afternoon.

In other words, put on your grippy boots, cuz the wind is gonna knock you off your feet. It's been beating up on my house all night. The plastic over the window in the computer room isn't sealed properly, so it keeps making farting noises. Right now the wind chill is -19. And it's supposed to get worse.

Yes, Saskatchewanites are among the toughest people on the planet... but we don't have to *LIKE* it. All these people I know are going on wonderful vacations to places like the Dominican Republic and the Mayan Riviera and Greece, and Rick's parents are toasty warm in Mazatlan.
I'm sitting in a recliner in a huge sweater, enjoying the heat of a laptop.

I didn't get a lick of spinning done last night. I went for coffee instead, and played with my friend Pauline's 1 year old girl. Smart kid - she's already mimicking things adults do. She seemed to immensely enjoy wiping the table down with a paper napkin, and had a blast stacking the creamer cups. And she's warm, too. ;)
