The weekend of February 13th and 14th Marie and I celebrated Joshua's 3rd birthday, getting together with Lara and Jesse at their condo on Nun's Island. Joshua is finally filling out and interacting better with us and seems to be growing into a happy though reserved little boy. The weather that weekend was absolutely atrocious, the coldest we have experienced in over 20 years. The wind-chill was in the -40s and the proximity to the St Lawrence only emphasized how cold it was. We warmed up the best we could at the pool and sauna afterwards before heading home to another frigid forecast. While we were away the temperature had plummeted to -33, beating the old record of -25! Happily the cold snap was over in a few days and the unusually warm and rainy February weather for 2016 has returned. gws |
