Beating the winter doldrums

We've had an adventurous January so far. From Snowocalypse (or Snowmageddon if you will) to the a brief crazy thaw this week including freezing rain and back to freezing temperatures this weekend with glare ice, January has served up the wildest winter weather.

So what do you do on a -20 degree weekend in Edmonton? You get out with friends! This weekend I managed to get out for a cross-country ski with my friend Genevieve (sorry no photos), attend a house-warming / open house at my friend Sarah's and enjoy some hookah for the first time with my friends Daphnee and Chris.

Just because the weather outside might be frightful doesn't mean you have to stay glued to the fireside :)
