A Wild Canadian Winter.

So this weekend was pretty wild. -30 with a -40 windchill plus 70km/hr gusts. I have experienced both these at separate times, -30 no wind and 70km/hr gusts but with much warmer air, the two together are a deadly mix.

Both my shrink wrap doors blew off, and I came home to the boat sitting at -1 Celsius. My bubblers apparently don't work after a certain temperature, -50. I'm iced in like a brick.

It's hard to tell, but I don't think I took any major damage. Hopefully just lost some paint due to the ice.

I walked up to the clubhouse late tonight to shower and a pipe burst, there was no water or hydro. I keep my water off during the winter, so not sure if it effects the docks, my hydro is still on though thank God.

There is a bit of damage around the marina, mostly people's tarps and shrink wrap blew off and some guys bumper exploded (I didn't even know that was possible).


Never have I thought I would be walking down a dock knee high in blowing snow.
