I made it to the store and back in near-record time. I forgot to pick up fruit, but other than that I got everything I was thinking of.
The latest Environment Canada weather warning is predicting winds of 60-70 kilometers an hour starting later this evening. There'll only be 2 or 3 centimeters of snow, but those winds will be whipping it (along with the snow that's already fallen) into a frenzy. The windchill will be astronomical. EC is asking people not to travel outside of urban areas unless absolutely necessary, and if they do have to travel they're being asked to take a survival kit with them in case their car breaks down. Under the conditions that are coming, death can happen pretty quickly in a vehicle stranded on the flatlands of Manitoba.
It's bloody amazing that anyone lives here at all, much less settled here in the first place.
