I'm sure most of us have heard the term 'Jack Frost nipping at your nose' from one of the most popular Christmas Caroles, Silver Bells.
Well if Jack is out tonight, he's bitting our noses off! With wind chills dropping the mercury to -30c, it's starting to feel like the prairies here! I'm just glad to be back indoors and not freezing my tail off at the bus stop like I was on my way home from work. It doesn't look like it's going to warm up before the end of the weekend either, so I'm dreading heading out tomorrow. I feel sorry for those not used to this bone chilling weather, and hope all my friends out there are nice and warm.
We're pretty much all dug out here now in the Halifax region, I don't know about the more rural areas, but pretty much all the streets and sidewalks are done here in town - at least on the Dartmouth side.

Another NorEaster
Well,
Nature seems to favour Mondays as the day to dump stuff on us. Though the storm hit us yesterday, shutting down transit and any events, continual blowing wind with a bit of snow has kept the city closed. Blowing snow and icy roads is what has shut everything down, even though much is already plowed. Most malls and business are closed till noon...
When we were living in Winnipeg, you'd never see this sort of thing, then again as much as Winnipeggers complain they get a lot of snow, they've never seen anything like this!

Talk about the weather!
Wow, look at all that snow!
Not a week after Halifax gets brought down to a crawl that mother nature has hit us again!
It wasn't necessarily a lot of snow, just how it came down... extreme winds and varying temperatures gave to wet blowing snow with ice pellets. Being sent home early from work for fear that they would shut down transit, I had trouble seeing as I tried to walk the less than 10 minutes from the office to bus stop. But I made it home, once the weather dies down a bit, I'll take a couple of snap shots to show those of you not subjected to this weather what nature has dumped on us this time. :)
