Wednesday, February 12th - who knows what's in store?

It's a chilly -16' this morning with a wind chill of -24', although it doesn't seem particularly windy out there this morning. We should reach a high later of -11' with maybe a few flurries.  Other than that, we don't know what to expect. We typically have three sources for weather - The Weather Network and Environment Canada and Boomer, on CBC.. Often they vary in their forecasts but this time it's quite significant.  Yesterday the Weather Network was advising we should expect 20 to 30 cms of snow on Thursday night. Environment Canada didn't mention any snow at all. On the other hand, Boomer mentioned some snow was on the way. This morning The Weather Network has changed to 15 cms while Environment Canada is expecting 2 cms. SO - we have no idea what might be in store. At least they both agree we may see some rain on Friday so that should make things really interesting. 

Rain will really mess up the trail that we made on Sunday. Brenda was out the last couple of days on it as it was lovely and sunny both days. It was chilly but when you're in the woods, you're so sheltered that it's really nice. I'm a little jealous that she can do that in the middle of a week day! Oh well, my day will come, eventually.

We had our class last night, and once again, we worked pretty hard. But we're making progress. Of course the best part was the apres-dance!  This week we went to Daniel Brennan's. They have a new chef and a new menu. We opted for a hot, creamy, bacony, cheesy dip with grilled flatbread. It was really tasty. With a nice cold beer, it was a perfect end to a great evening.

We've all been watching the Olympics and are amazed at how well our athletes are doing. We stand in second place right now with 9 medals. I was watching some of the events yesterday and I'm absolutely amazed at what some people can do with their bodies! I have trouble just staying upright sometimes, especially on the ice and snow, so I can't even fathom how these people do what they do. Incredible.
