On Friday, we plunged into another deep freeze. It was -40 degrees Celsius with the wind chill that morning. It could always be much worse, as we have experienced the weather bomb that went through the New England States and Maritimes.
You have to feel for the Floridians who are experiencing colder weather than they are used to. My friend in Iqaluit was saying that it was -35 degrees Celsius and -53 degrees Celsius with the wind chill there. Now that is cold!

There is a nasty flu bug going around Waltham. I hope everyone who is suffering from it will be on the mend real soon.
Well the Christmas holidays are over, the decorations and lights are being taken down and stored away in bins and bags where they will reside in dusty corners until next year. As every day life resets its rhythm of familiar events, the children in the Pontiac headed back to school on Monday. We hope that they enjoyed themselves and are well rested to tackle another semester.
Warm birthday wishes are extended to Rex Rehel who is celebrating his birthday on Jan. 14. All the best of health and happiness is wished to you in the coming year Rex.
