Oh yeah. I forgot to reply to you in the other thread. The sun started to show here the last two days! I hope it is starting to come out for you over there even if it's bouncing up from the snow which can be just as good as a sunny day too if its hitting the right angles. 

Yesterday had the sun appearing while it went up to 7c. I was out in shorts, no sleeves, clearing snow off the deck and roof. It's such a great morale boost to actually feel the sun on your skin after nothing but grey and cold.

But no pretty scenes, ugly old melting ice and brown stained snow piles. The dog desperately needed a bath after a 10 minute walk lol. Then back to trying to fish the snow rake off the roof that got stuck 2 days earlier, the cheap pole came loose ffs. (I got it back today finally) Life tip: don't get a metal roof unless you like avalanches taking out fences and newly planted trees!

Today running again, the sun tried to get through the clouds, managed just enough to feel some warmth so I kept going. The river above the dam is still frozen, no ice flows yet. It never froze by our house despite -14c nights. -20c is needed before it freezes below the dam.

Dam is a big word, this is it

Clear blue skies, where are you nowadays!

This is our town (before a big apartment building, down right, started obstructing the view.

Down town is a mess right now, all the infrastructure is being redone, streets getting dug up.

Anyway I got recharged a bit, the forecast however is bleak. Sunday for the next chance to see some sun, back to -10c high during the day :/
