A few years ago hubby and I were living in Canada and we had days of -40 wind chill.

My wife and I walk in the mornings before work, but we don't go out if it's below zero. So lately we ain't been a-walkin.<BR/><BR/>deborah - I would actually like it if we got snow instead of just boring old cold air.<BR/><BR/>mamma - Thanks. If I could bring a quilt and slippers to my office I would!<BR/><BR/>emma - Ah yes, those pesky nekkid neighbors. And it's always the ugly ones who wind up that way. <BR/><BR/>And thank you for posting my video on your blog. That was cool of you to do!<BR/><BR/>maureen - Well, my neighbor to the north, I suppose I have you to thank for this little Alberta clipper in the first place. BTW, we're coming up there this summer to skate your skateboard park, so make sure to fire up the grill!<BR/><BR/>groovy mom - Sorry, no guarantees there won't be snow here in April. Although the worst of it is usually over by the end of March, so you should be ok. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for the nice words about the video!Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-697059475547842902008-01-24T12:40:00.000-06:002008-01-24T12:40:00.000-06:00Awesome video that Emma posted.
