That time I knit a Baby Archie hat for my friend but used a thread of reflective yarn so she’d be safe in the dark hours.

I don't know about you, but the last couple days has us counting down to the days of sunshine, bright blue skies and warmth! ☀️ #canadianwinters #bundleup #machomovers #chillydays #thinkingofsunshine #bringbackthelongerdays #localmovers #wintermoves #longdistancemovers #localmovers #wemakeitlookez https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP7omHJep3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TODAY we're talking about:

CANADA’S WINTER SOLSTICE AND THE TOP 5 CANADIAN WINTER FACTS.

Whoever said a photograph and Canadian stats can't go hand in hand was... probably not Canadian. 😀

Here goes: 

The photograph of this beachfront property was captured during a winter storm from the shores of Lake Ontario. Beautiful, isn't it? Located in the Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto, this picturesque scene was one I often saw during runs and walks along the boardwalk. There’s something about winter’s solstice that I love. I think it has something to do with pending rejuvenation and starting anew after a long, cold Canadian winter. I haven’t tried to articulate it before. It’s more of a feeling. A transition. Knowing I will revisit it again next year. Somewhat like peanut butter; it’s a staple. I keep coming back for more.

View BEACHFRONT PROPERTY IN WINTER full-size. It's also available as a custom print. I picture it framed and mounted in a room with warm tones, being appreciated in an inviting, cosy living room. Perhaps while sipping a favourite drink: vinho do Porto, more commonly known as Port wine, or simply Port.

THE TOP 5 CANADIAN WINTER FACTS.

1/ Record Windchill -91°C (-132°F) 🎉 

2/ Coldest Temperature on Record -63°C (-81.4°F) 🎉 

3/ Biggest Snowfall in a Day 145cm (57.1″) 🎉 

4/ Biggest Snowfall in a Season 2446.5cm (963.2″) 🎉 

5/ Last but not least: Canada is home to the World's Biggest Pond Hockey Tournament (big enough for 40 teams to play at once!). 🎉 

A few days remain until Christmas. A New Year to follow.... I wish everyone all the best.

In case you haven't seen the millions of posts, or happened to look outside yet today, it's not going to be too pleasant the next few days! ❄️❄️❄️ If you can avoid driving, highly recommended, but if you have to travel here are a few tips to hopefully make your trip a bit more safe! • Check weather and road conditions often • Keep a safe distance behind snow plows should you end up behind one - they do not always have the best visibility with the snow blowing around them reducing their visibility as well as yours • Avoid traveling if you do not have winter tires on • Slow down and allow yourself extra time • Wear comfortable clothes and have extra layers available in case you should get stuck • Keep items such as snow brush, gloves, small shovel, washer fluid, water bottles, flashlight easily accessible • Clear all snow and ice off your vehicle and allow your car to properly warm up and windows cleared before you hit the roads • Keep your gas tank full • Make sure your cellphone is fully charged before leaving in case of emergency • Avoid using cruise control • Know the best way to recover from sliding in your vehicle - how your vehicle responds depends if you have rear wheel, front wheel or four wheel drive Wishing all of our friends, family and customers safe travels!! 💙 #machotips #winterdrivingtips #stormwarning #canadianwinters #machomovers #staysafe #beprepared https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmg6gO5uMQL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anyone else enjoy walking through our winter wonderland with the Skyrim soundtrack playing in our head?

"Brave the snow through the pillars of the pale

Rest your feet, come and listen to the tales

Raise your mug to the legends of the frost

Through our songs, they will never be lost"
