-41 C with the wind chill (though still a stage 3 drought...) but a small wildfire wasn't what I expected to see going home this evening!

The Wolves of Winterfell.

At the Year of 282 After Aegon's Conquest, the Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen executed Brandon and Rickard Stark at the Red Keep.

"......... Pretty sure that's a date."

Also waiting for some snow to come visit the west coast :(

If I hear one more person say "But I like it! It's so warm!" I'm gonna scream. I can count on my hands the number of days we've gotten a negative temperature number where I live. The grass is still green. I'm starting to see new buds on some trees.

It's all fun now. We get a nice, easy winter. We don't have to dress in a million layers, or shovel snow, or even worry about ice! Isn't this grand? /s

Winter isn't always fun, especially in a place like Canada that actually feels the effects of it. It sucks to have to put on five layers to walk to work, or to have to brush your car off and shovel the driveway, or try to navigate the highways in a storm. It sucks when you slip on a patch of black ice and land hard on your ass, or your coffee gets cold super fast if it's not in a double-walled travel mug. It sucks when the air hurts your face and your skin is really dry, and your breath can cause icicles to form on your hair. It sucks when the sunny days are the coldest and the grey days are a little warmer, but also snowy. But dammit, we're Canadian! Our sheer determination to make the most of winter is one of our biggest stereotypes and we embrace it! We saw that frozen pond and said "Let's play hockey on that!" or that snowy hill and said "Get me a toboggan." Our best drink cooler in the winter is the snowbank out back. Our greatest small talk starter is "Supposed to snow tonight." All of our best sports are ice or snow related. We hold festivals in the dead of winter that celebrate the fact that it is winter. We make candy by pouring maple syrup onto snow.

Winter is our season and we're losing it.

climate rant under the cut lol

I find myself listening to music from pre 2000’s and I can’t help but think about how their world was so different from ours. Not politically, but environmentally. They had winter, they had snow and the seasons were stable-ish. They reference these things in their music sometimes, but even when they aren’t talking about it I can’t help but think about it. The changing air suffuses every single day, and I grew up believing my home would be safe, and now the lakes don’t freeze. My childhood memories are just that, memories, forever.

Literally what the fuck. Wish i could do something about any of it…

The show Wildfire is a hidden GEM.

Genevieve Padalecki (back when she was a Cortese and hadn’t met Jared) is great and it’s so cute to watch her growing into her skills as an actress through the seasons.

My first TV show love is Gunsmoke so Dennis Weaver makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Also the guest star list is A+

i hope cersei blows something up with wildlife in winds, she deserves it after everything she’s gone through

I love Fall.

Giving Wildfire some motivation to go and search for lost animals in the knee-high snow.

"Are they used specifically fer channelin' yer flames, or are you able ta fire up without havin' ta use the gloves?"

She cradled her cheek with her own wrapped hand. Her bandages were nothing special. Nothin' more than a mask to cover the frostbite she couldn't get rid of.
