Chilly Sinterklaas

This is the Langendoen Sinterklaas weekend, and it’s a cold one. We drove up to Barry and Breana’s place last night for pizza and a movie.  The temperature was – 34°C while we drove.

Barry’s next door neighbor has lent us the use of his cabin so all three families are staying together with the kids scattered about the two places. On the deck of the cabin there is big outdoor thermometer – but it only reads down to -20°C! The “mercury” doesn’t even make an appearance. And, it certainly hasn’t warmed up to “Brrr”.

Environment Canada is reporting the current temperature in Rocky Mountain House as – 41°C

We are inside and cozy, sitting by the fire drinking eggnog infused coffee. Sinterklaas has filled the kid’s wooden shoes and they are just awaiting permission to pounce!
