Without initiating a discussion on “Climate Change” I will make the observation to whit, this winter in the North America Midwest has been one of quite distinct vigor. Meaning, this winter is acting more like the traditional winters of my youth rather than the more recent “El Nino” milder versions which we enjoyed for a number of recent years.
Minus 40 C is a formidable convincing argument that is non-negotiable. As was the “Alberta Clipper” that smoked through and shutdown provinces/states with a very convincing demonstration of a “blizzard that can kill you”, bury a few cars, rip up buildings with winds, and flip over some semi-trailers out on the highway.
Mother Nature reminding us in her own unique way that we are but squatters in her world and we can be “swatted like flies” should she be so inclined! Anyway the winter seems pretty long and often bitterly cold to me.

Of course after the blinding blizzard wreaking its havoc across the land the wind drops, the sun comes out and Mother Nature proudly displays to all her handiwork. Oh yes and the -40 C temperatures come along. Amazing landscapes but the temps can kill you in minutes. Yes Mother dear, we have respect, yes Mother you are the bitch…. er boss!!
