The Brass Monkeys are Getting a Little Worried

 

This was the temperature this morning at about 9:

I forgot to open the screen for the picture but you can almost make out that it reads -22*C. 

What you can't see is the wind chill:  -35*C.

Apparently, skin freezes at -40*C.  Because of this risk of exposure, the schools have been closed today.  So The Trouts have their first Snow Day of the winter. 

We all were expecting a Snow Day yesterday when there was 20cm of snow and the roads hadn't been plowed and the trucks were getting stuck on the hills.

So here we are: a beautiful sunny day, loads of fresh, new snow and it's too damn cold to get out and enjoy it.
