My niece teaches near Fort Albany, in Kashechewan, Ontario. There are no roads between Moose Factory and Kash, so it’s fly in only. Almost every spring, they are evacuated to the south due to spring flooding. It’s a rough winter, with very little sunshine. Tough life.
The heartbreaking fate of untold thousands of souls, who tried to make a better life for themselves, and their families. A struggle which goes on to this day.
That happens only when it's fairly close to freezing, which in winter in these parts (I live a little west of that area, in Winnipeg) is extremely mild. When it gets actually cold - -20°C or lower, which it does for weeks on end - snow doesn't melt when it comes in contact with your windshield because the windshield isn’t warm enough on the outside to melt it. It just basically bounces off like sleet.

I truly don't like the snow when it gets cold, icy like that. It doesn't come off of the windshield.

I've walked in snow shoes. I liked it.
Is she getting used to our cold yet? Temp while ice fishing? Warmer than the -24? Snowshoes!…since I was a child.
