Hi Mum,

Look what came to Calgary this week!



Can’t see anything, can you ? Well, that was a window covered with ice! Let’s try with this one. It’s snow ! It’s been snowing all week and temperatures have been consistently deep in the minus teens or even twenties since Tuesday .



sammino told us that he had been waiting for this kind of weather eagerly as he wanted us to experience some proper Canadian winter, so I put on my most enthusiastic face and prayed that it didn’t betray the fact that I didn’t really share the same eagerness on the matter . Anyway, today we went out for a walk to enjoy this true Canadian experience. Unsurprisingly (I dare say) there was hardly anyone on this footpath.



As you can see the river here wasn’t frozen yet. Apparently it hasn’t been cold long enough yet , so here there was just a sludgy mix of water and ice.



While here the current is much slower, so there was already plenty of ice around.



Luckily this exploration tour didn’t last long enough to turn my paws into ice blocks themselves and, even better, once home we got a nice hot chocolate to warm us up .
