Ice Road Over the Great Slave Lake

Today Janier and I took one of the kids from Janier's work on a road trip to Dettah.  To get there, we drove on the ice road over Great Slave Lake.

It's Getting Cold!

Temperatures in Yellowknife have been getting down to -40C lately with the windchill, and we've had to be creative on ways to keep warm.

The first time it got down to -30C, we decided enough was enough, and went on a trip to pick up some thermal underwear.

I'm also learning to knit.  So far, I've finished my first scarf!
