Snow and Cold

It's been snowing a lot around here and bitterly cold (-13c or 8.6F). It helps when the sun comes out. I took these photos on Christmas Eve, when I met my friend S for a walk.

Maple Bacon Sandwich

It was sooo cold yesterday, the coldest day of our winter so far apparently.  It was -16C (about 3F) when I went to the gym in the morning.  There was a small amount of snow on the driveway so I did shovel quickly on my return home.  At least it was bright and sunny.  The trick is to dress in warm layers, gloves, boots and head covering are a must.  Husband M landed a free ticket that night to a hockey game downtown with a friend and reported great 3rd row seats behind a goalie.  By then the temperature was -20C (-4F) with a wind chill of -30C (-22F).

This is Tim Horton's new Maple Bacon breakfast sandwich, it's supposed to be with egg white, but that looks like a regular egg to me. I did taste the maple flavour in the bacon. Other than that, it could have been a McDonald's egg mcmuffin sandwich.  I should have uncovered my small latte for the photo!

I found an interesting article concerning '12 toxic behaviours that push people away from you'...it's a good list.
