We survived the winter

Here in Manitoba Canada we had worst winter since 1898. the average temperature in December was -20.5 C, followed by January (-20.0 C) and February (-19.9 C). Then came March, which averaged -12.5 C, almost seven degrees colder than average. But wait, there's more. The average number of days the temperature plummets to -30 C is 12 in for this area. This year, "there were 30 of those suckers!" Not cold enough for you? Then consider that despite the length and depth of cold this winter, the snowfall now stands at 155 centimetres, well above the average of 100 cm. The fun didn't end there Frozen pipes leave hundreds without water! It is reporting an average frost depth of 7 feet and the expectation is that the frost will finally leave the ground sometime in June! We went to are cabin all winter even at -40C, just went through lot more fire wood. We can say we live through the coldest winter in 100 years!
