A slew of temperature records were set in Ontario today. Kitchener had its coldest December 28 since they started keeping records 103 years ago. The Muskoka Airport record was shattered by 8 Celsius degrees! I don't know if we set a record here but it took me hours to get the house warm enough to be sure the pipes on the north wall wouldn't freeze.
It was a busy day but I didn't want to miss the brisk, sunny weather so I went for a snowshoe run around Palgrave West. The snow was so loose and fluffy that even when I ran in my own tracks, it felt like breaking trail in ankle to shin-deep snow. When I took hiking breaks, my HR stayed *way* up. Is it really only two weeks until the Snowshoe Raid? I have work to do!
