Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely New Year's Eve (although I'm guessing most of you spent it in the land of nod like we did!). I'm not usually one for New Year's resolutions but this year I've got one and I'm pretty keen to stick to it. I'm sure it's pretty obvious to you all so I won't bore you with the details but I will keep you posted on the progress!
So 2012 isn't just a new year for our family, it's also a new country, a new job for Fanta Pants, a new school for Action Boy, a new preschool for Little Miss D, a new language, a new house, a new car, new friends and of course a new climate!
Once I realised how cold Montreal actually is, I became quite obsessed about the weather and how we were going to dress for it, especially baby A. Thanks to lots of advice and some online shopping I think we're covered in that department.
However understanding the weather is another story! There are all sorts of new weather terms that we'll have to come to grips with. For example, wind chill - generally is about 5 degrees colder than the actual temperature. Flurries - I think that means snow fall. Freezing drizzle. What the??!? What on earth can that be? My gorgeous friends from New York tried to explain it to me and even said that it feels like bits of ice when it hits your face! What kind of crazy people decided to settle in these places?!
The current forecast for when we arrive on Thursday is -6 to -13 with a high chance of snow... I'm super excited to see snow but from a logistics point of view I just don't know how it'll all work! I'll let you know what happens...
