Clouds in our kitchen

Eric | January 24, 2009

IMG_1213 As somebody coming from Germany, I can still sometimes discover pretty extraordinary things (extraordinary for me anyways) about a real Canadian winter. Today we had clouds forming inside our kitchen for example, originating from the cold (really cold, apparently) air that was streaming into the kitchen trough the open window. (Yes, that’s a real problem here in Canada. Many people, like us, cannot regulate their heating and therefore really have to open windows when their apartment gets too hot.) Kinda spooky, eh?

Frost flowers

Eric | December 8, 2008

IMG_1013When I woke up this morning, I was pleasantly surprised by some huge nice frost flowers on my bedroom windows. I was not at surprised any more when I looked at the weather channel: –20 degrees, and “feels like” –32! I guess winter is finally here. The only thing that has been odd so far is the lack of snow. We have only gotten around 2-3cm so far this year. Last year around the same time I think we had already seen 80cm or so.
