That’s Edmonton for you.
Bus was running two minutes early at my stop, so I had to hightail it a few blocks to catch it when it looped.
That’s my breath frozen in my hair. It’s better than the -32 we had Wednesday, but -23 is still cold.

Dear Edmonton:
Wind chill values of less than -40 degrees Celsius means that frostbite may occur on exposed skin in less than 10 minutes.
Please keep warm, and consider donating any winter coats you don’t need to a winter coat drive, or somewhere like the Boyle Street Co-op.

Today I would like whatever it is this woman is wearing.
Canadian Man and Woman in their Winter Dress, Quebec 1805, Sempronius Stretton (British, 1781–1842). “Lieutenant Sempronius Stretton was 22 years old when he arrived in Canada for a three year military posting. Fascinated by the new country, he kept a sketchbook in which he recorded both the landscape and its inhabitants in their remarkable winter clothing.”

Blue Monday strikes again
The ‘most depressing day of the year’ may be on shaky scientific ground, but it does provide a rare spotlight for easily ignored mental health issues. Supposedly determined by a scientific formula to be the most depressing day of the year, this dismal day is generally said to fall on the third Monday of January, which would mean Blue Monday 2012 is Jan. 16.

What happened to winter?
The climate patterns of the Arctic Oscillation have been in a positive phase this year, meaning higher temperatures and less snowfall.
