Nippy nip nip

Our weather has gone nippy, nip, nip or as one Dublin 9 friend would call it “blue-tit weather”.

We are in the minus overnight and wake up to lift your head off cold but the most beautiful sunlight. Is this what it is to live in Winnipeg? Edmonton? Do you wake to bright sun and -35? I was ever so surprised by the wind in Edmonton and St Albert — a North Westerly wind. I had never factored it would be windy there. It’s a very particular wind. I’ve never encountered that wind before and I have to say the plants outside at the greenhouse, where i had lunch also seemed like they could happily refuse it.
