Through The Storm

November 25, 2007 – 10:00 am | 30 Comments

On Mon­day night, while I was out­side get­ting some fresh air smok­ing a last cig­a­rette, I noticed a few flur­ries in the sky. But when I woke up the next day, there was just a bit of frost on the grass. So, when Tues­day night I saw flur­ries again, I thought it would be gone the next morning.

Win­ter­lude started last week in the nation’s cap­i­tal. Prob­a­bly the best way to cel­e­brate win­ter and the waaaay below freez­ing tem­per­a­ture !
Sculpt­ing ice when it’s — 20C is a Cana­dian sport… And yes, it’s done with a chainsaw.

Snow Fall !

January 16, 2007 – 3:14 am |

Tried again at 12:00, it was a bit bet­ter, although streets weren’t cleared out yet. I love see­ing peo­ple dri­ving in the snow : peo­ple have exactly the same dri­ving pat­tern (tail­gat­ing on the free­way, run­ning red stop lights, over­tak­ing, cut­ting off), every­body just drive slower. We all look like we’re slow-motion !

Cold Crash Course

Fuck­ing cold.
