Back from BC

[donkey]

Well, the record low in my home town was -48.9 C (-56 F), the average daily low in February is -31.1 C (-24 F). Southern BC is much warmer than that at the worst so the cold here is a refreshing change from the winters I'm used to. I don't even bother too much with a real winter parka (though I have a good Armed Forces issued one) because a sweater and a light coat are usually more than enough. Though I have to say that when it hits -30 or below here I do dress for it, the secret is layers, the more layers of clothing the warmer you will be.
