No pretty snow here, like many of you here in the US are experiencing, but we did see temperatures drop into the 20s F, and that's cold, folks. We here don't know how to drive in weather that leaves ice on the roads, so everything---schools, work, lots of businesses---is shut down.
Plenty of time for reading...
