I decided to stay in a hotel in Brooks, AB last night and hold off on the sleeping in the back of the truck until I'm in warmer climes and have no hope of being allowed into a hotel with the number of dogs I'll have traveling with me, which has grown by two since I left. I'm glad I slept indoors last night, because it's so cold outside that it's taken me five minutes to get the heat back into my hands. I've been in really cold weather before; I've lived in places where it was routinely -30 F, but it's been a few years, and I have to say I don't miss the way I feel this morning. Accu Weather Canada says its -8 C here, but that it feels like -20 C, which convert to 17 F and -4 F respectively; it feels colder than that, though. Apparently it's going to be that way all day. Can't wait.
