Default What's outside your door?

Finally managed to get outside with the camera without the batteries dying of cold.
It has got up to -19 C today which is a big improvement on the last two weeks. When the cold spell arrived on the 15th. it was -36 C (-45 C when you allow for the wind chill), and it has been below -25 C since then.
They are forcasting a white christmas from coast to coast, which is very rare, as Vancouver and Victoria seldom have snow, just lousy English rain (which is why we came to Calgary instead.
Hope you enjoy the attached "winter wonderland" pictures from my front door

Awesome, you are making me jealous, I love Calgary . I spent a few Christmas's in Canmore at the Windtower, skiing at Lake Louise and Christmas day at the Chateau Louise drinking warm winter cocktails mmmmm. Love the whole area, Banff, Sunshine, Nakiska skiing, Jasper ooooh I could go on LOL Nah, not jealous at all

You live in the same house as me! Blimey

Sadly that is a joke, and there is no snow outside my front door
