At first the towhee (who seldom comes around in decent weather) wouldn't tolerate the wren (who is a regular user at all times) but after tiring of the wren's persistence began to allow him around the periphery to scavenge excess.

It's 5-10F lower than even our normal 10 year low, and it's lasting twice as long (southwest).

I'm amazed the orange crop isn't dead.

There was once I remember, I think it was January 1985, when it was much colder for much longer around here, but that was an all-time record-breaker.

Alberta.  This is pretty extreme.  But we had a very mild Nov and Dec, so I guess it kind of balances out.

They live in Devon, AB.

It was -1 yesterday as I cycled to work. Did that in the below freezing temperatures for the first time in 9 years.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I was talking with family and saying in December, "Wow, it's an unseasonably warm winter so far!"

Poor choice of words as I'm sitting around about half a meter of snow, -30 celsius windchill, and roads frozen over haha

They live in Devon, AB.

Iri figured it out.  It was on the top of the screenshot.  Actually I work in Devon, but live near by.  All part of the greater Edmonton area.  Central Alberta.  Although it didn't really matter.  The jet stream was so far south that pretty much the whole province was covered in arctic air. 

Nice to hear Chyros has made it out here.  If you made it to Banff and Jasper, you've seen the best parts.  I actually have family in Jasper and spent a couple summers working there.  I always have to remind myself that people come from all over the world to see those places and I have them right in my backyard.

Banff and Jasper were great, it was just starting to snow and I saw an elk stag standing in the snow playing with his babies. Quite happy with that picture ^^ .

BC was also great though, that's probably the most we've seen in Canada. We went all the way to a super remote nothing called Bella Coola where we saw a grizzly bear family from very close by. And then Vancouver Island plus some extras, etc. Really gorgeous trip all in all, we loved Canada ^^ . Exceptionally nice people as well!

It's currently cold enough to make going outside unpleasant, yet not cold enough to have decent amounts of snow. Everything is gray and depressing.

Been reading up on dat garden magazine.

Growing out the soil cover now with clovers, and seedlings sprouts out in pots. When the time comes they should be taller than the clovers , so they can go straight down.

The soil cover maintains mycelium condition and soil temp
