After extremely high tides and storm surges north east and west coasts are devastated. No trains and bridges closed. Many roads blocked by fallen trees.
Was expecting to see a scattering of snow this morning but it has been and gone over night.
Work is going on to clear block roads, trains and bridges will wait until the wind subsides.
Oh well tomorrow let it snow let it rain let it do anything, I'm celebrating 65 years of wonderful life.

The cold has come in with a vengence. The North Pole is warmer than us right now. This morning is was -28 C, and with the wind chill -41C, and we are not the cold spot in Saskatchewan. It is days like this that make me really look forward to retirement in a few years.
I had planned a road trip with a friend tomorrow to a quilt store about 45 minutes away, but I have a feeling that we will postpone it to another time as it is supposed to be even colder tomorrow.
I have to admit that I love where I live because I love the changing seasons, but there are just a few days or weeks every year that I think I must be crazy. This is one of those days I'm afraid.

It's cold here too... I not generally cold.. but even I'm cold. and the poor little birds outside are sitting on the ground in little balls.. poor things. I set up a tent to help them keep warm but all I'd manage to do is scare them in to the air... No trees and no bushes around this part of the town.. They need to leave and fly to someplace that can give them more protection. Our high today was 18.. wind was strong so I know there had to be a wind chill too... Didn't go out to find out!

-22F feels like -38F and a warning of "Dangerously cold in the Prairies with wind chills in the -40s. "
Of course yesterday and today were my 2 days out of the warm house too.
