Few years back, a couple weeks before Xmas our oldest daughter was moving into their newly built home between Calgary and Banff.
We went over to help them and to see our granddaughter’s Xmas concert.
Friday night, we Parked our truck and walked the 1/2 block to the school in hoodies.
Next morning : moving day!
Calgary was -46c and Edmonton was -55c, and as they were saying on the radio,” on that day, Edmonton was the coldest place in the world”
My son in-laws transmission froze in his truck.
My truck started, but oh boy was that motor cold and hard to start.
We snapped in 1/2 more than 1 plastic tote bin as they were stored in a un heated storage building.
We were using a kids fisher price wagon to move “stuff” quicker from the trucks into the house, 2 tires snapped from the cold.
And to top it all off, the power went out, and when we went to lite the wood stove.... the wood was frozen into one large lump as we had put it away wet a couple days earlier, so we had to use a splitting maul to break up the lump of wood.
Had to be the fastest we ever moved anyone ever from an apartment to a house “ever”...(grin)
When they were moved in, “ shortly before lunch” we kicked back relaxed by the fire while we used the wood stove to heat water and then poured it in a paper cup so our granddaughter could go outside and toss the hot water into the air.
Best weekend ever.
