I hear you Trisher ! Usually whatever Winnipeg gets, heads our way & 2 days ago we also had temps of -48 & approx. -41 for the following 2 days (temps are with the wind chill). I have never seen so much wind our way & lots of us figure it's due to the fact that the lumber companies are doing so much clear cutting & there are not enough trees left to protect us. I can't wait for warmer weather but I think it's going to be a while yet. My dh & I are obsessive golfers in the summer so we get very itchy for the season to start. Thank goodness I have my quilting or I really would be in the loonie bin !! LOL
