My Comment: I live in Montreal, Canada .... but I am presently in my chalet in the Laurentians. The temperature hit -36C this morning .... and tonight it will be the same (if not colder). But fear not .... the fireplace is working, the heat is on, I am drinking some good XO cognac, and in between I am reading and blogging. This is actually a pretty good life .... until you have to go outside. :(
