On Jan 3rd we had a crazy blizzard. The police shut down the malls and the bus system. It was beautiful to see from inside our cozy home and the boys even went outside to play in the -17C plus windchill weather!

The next day we went for a walk at our favourite spot. It was now -15C and barely a breeze. We dressed warmly and it was sooo worth it.

I knew it would be painfully cold with bare fingers so I didn’t bring my DSLR. I am regretting it now as I post here because the images would have been so much better. I brought along my small point and shoot and many times I manually focused for the snow and it just wasn’t that sharp as my painfully frozen hands tried to maneuver the dials. It’s hard exposing without a viewfinder so I apologize for the not so great exposures. Brrr!

Nonetheless, we had an amazing time out in the winter wonderland. It was sooo beautiful and showed us some things we wouldn’t normally see on a snow-free walk on the trials:
