How cold is it where you are?

My Dad told me he used to dream of living in the Yukon, he visited there a lot, but that was in the summer! Life there seems like a TON of work. Any pups in the bed? That must be fun

LOL, Teyha, I hope she was successful in finding someone. I'd fly there to play with her!

Lots of people come up here in the summer, think they want to live here and then move back south after one winter! There are good deals to be had at spring moving sales! Course you also meet lots of people who came up for a summer job 30 years ago and never left again! Last summer was the coldest, wettest year on record here. If our summers stay like that, I'll be leaving for good! I do enjoy the 24 hours of light but not when it's raining all the time! I would have an even harder time living somewhere with grey skies and rain all the time!

Chum & Tehya sleep on the bed. When Stuart isn't home, they take over his side. They are both quite disgusted when he does come home! When he's home they curl up by my feet. He'll push them off; they know I won't!

Are you north of the Arctic Circle, Tamara?

Where are you originally from, and how long have you been up there?

No, I'm south of the Arctic Circle, although I could drive there! It does go through the Yukon. The Circle is the 66th parallel; I live at about the 61st; sub-arctic climate zone and below the tree line! There are no trees up at the Circle!

I grew up in Saskatchewan, moved all over Alberta & Saskatchewan for a few years, met Stuart in Calgary. We moved up here in January 2000.

It's been in the 50's here for the past few days as the high but tomorrow it's supposed to be 65 as the high and on Friday it's supposed to be 69 as the high and only get down to about 45 for the low. I know I'm very spoiled living in CA.

It's a weird day temperature wise here in Butler. Currently it's 64F (in january yet!) with rain and thunderstorms on tap for most of the day,and this evening the temp will plunge down to (Brrrr!) 29F with snow showers coming. A roller coaster winter for sure!!

Now it's 55, rainy, and we're on a tornado watch. Ugh.

Today, today is melting day
The snow has sadly gone away
The ground still frozen, so water stands
Mud awaits to any who dare tread
Today, today is melting day
All the snow, bit by bit
Has gone away.
