The actual temperature reported by Environment Canada was -36C. Our thermometer seems to always read several degrees warmer (it may have been tampered with by Al Gore) when it gets this cold. Forgot to plug the car in last night and it did not start this morning.

First outpost in Eureka, now abandoned, and getting swallowed by the whiteness of the Canadian Arctic.
Christmas Day 2010 saw the Bollin frozen to the maximum extent for the winter. It was certainly a cold spell and I don't suppose we shall see anything like this for the next few years.
It was very cold and snowy at Saturday's WVU football game. Not quite so bad at my camera position on the WVU Stadium's camera deck as it was for the crew out on the field, but the "White Out" the fans planned for the last home game of Pat WHITE - their senior quarterback - came true with lots of real snow in addition to the white wardrobe they'd all planned. Bridges in Morgantown were closed temporarily due to ice & snow the evening of the game and the county sheriff asked people to stay off the slippery roads....
The Brandenburg Gate, probably the most iconic location in Berlin it was built in the late 1700s as an entry point for the city, leading to the palaces of the Prussian Monarchs. During the Cold War it became one of the key locations for protests after East Germany closed the gate completely to through passage. John F Kennedy and Ronald Regan both made impassioned speeches at the site.
Since the Cold War it has been extensively restored and is now one of the main tourist centres, with the adjacent Pariser Platz being full of tourist activities and souvenir stalls.
A most fortunate trip early this morning. I had no plans going to bed Friday night but have been waking up in the middle of the night rather often lately ever since going to Eastern Daylight Time. So when it happened today at 4:30 AM I decided to put it to use. One problem with these darkness trips and hikes is nowhere open to get breakfast fast and I'd need something substantial for sure. The great thing about right after the time change is the sun comes up really late, so I cooked a big meal.
Turbo and I drove up to the Mount Pleasant National Scenic Area near Buena Vista, VA and took the Appalachian Trail south up to Cold Mountain. It's a "bald" area similar to what is found around Roan Mountain in NC/TN. Pretty much a 360 view and there aren't many places in VA with a better shot of the rising sun. I wasn't sure how it would be since there was a lot of overcast where I live and on the drive up. It's about a 1 mile hike to get up here and did it just as the glow of day started. Only had to wait about 15 minutes until the sun came up, and the sky just kept getting better. I stayed around taking pictures for perhaps 45 more minutes and could have stayed much longer.
We rode home on the parkway stopping at the good overlooks and also went for a flower walk at the James River. It's the low point of the parkway and thus spring happens in that area first. We ended up seeing Dutchmans Breetches, Cutleaf Toothwort, Spring Beauties, Bloodroot, and Star Chickweed. Best photo trip I've had in awhile and don't know how long it's been for that nice of a Saturday.
It’s cold this winter. In fact, it’s probably the coldest winter we have ever experienced in Utah. Everyday looks so bleak. Depressing…
Finally making it near the top, it all looked so impressive. Yet, as often happens, photographs just can't do it justice.
On the Hofijver, The Hague. Taken with my SX50. I love the colours of the leaves caught in the ice!
Note the little pink beak .... who would have guessed it would turn pink with cold.
Crafty Cold War make and take beneath the 1960s BOAC Boeing 707 fuselage.
50 years after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the National Museum of Flight will take you back in time to experience what life was like in the middle of the Cold War.
