Here is a shot of Whitecourt, Alberta, at nearly -40C which is the same thing as 40F below. Any way you measure this temperature, it is nasty.

And just how did the pioneers manage that?

I would like to know.

Getting close to the end of my novel, Martha’s Vine. And all is going very well. In the second book, Martha’s world must cope with the increasing reality of living in cold temperatures without power.
