Too cold for school

Last night James was very happy as the region school buses were cancelled for today due to the cold. I didn't find it that bad yesterday but they are saying that frostbite can set in about 10 minutes. I was probably out for over 2 hours (not continuously but at least 1/2 hour at a time). I keep well bundled up though.

Yesterday I didn't write my adventure to SDM. It is on Princess St and Princess is normally one of the first ones plowed. However, I found that it is just the downtown Princess St. that gets plowed first. I walked relatively normally until the corner of Princess and Bath/Concession. They had attempted to plow some pedestrian bits at the intersection so it was relatively passable though not terribly safe. Cars were having trouble figuring out their lanes with all the snow so they were having their own issues. Then I was on the north side of Princess and within a few steps of the intersection, the sidewalk plow had stopped. The banks on the side of Princess are very deep (impassable to pedestrians) so I went up the embankment and there passed relatively easily though the trees but it certainly wasn't a pedestrian friendly walk.
