It's particularly appropriate to my little corner of the world in early February.

Spring Forward
The Mistress has not yet witnessed the arse end of winter.
It continues to snow.
The weekend saw a freezing rain storm lasting 48 hours with a major power outage.
A few days before that, the temperature was -18°Celsius (-0.4°Fahrenheit).
The nation is gripped in existential despair...
And The Mistress is cranky.

Keep Your Peckers Up!
The Winter Solstice (today) is the darkest and shortest day of the year.
[via]
The 2017 Winter Solstice is predicted by astrologers to be the worst day of the entire year due to a rare cosmic incident that hasn't occurred in over 350 years.
For the first time since 1664, the sun moves into Capricorn, hours after Saturn makes the same exact shift. This causes the sun and Saturn to line up. (The Mistress has no idea what all this means.)
No matter what your astrological sign is, this shift could leave you feeling sadder than usual today.
Astrologers warn us not to make big decisions or begin important enterprises today, as it might badly backfire in 2018.
Keep your peckers up, Bitches!

Snow Pants
For those of you in milder climes who have never seen SNOW PANTS, behold...
Snow pants are bulky, insulated, waterproof, windproof trousers designed to keep you warm and dry when the temperature plummets. They're ideal if you engage in winter sports, live almost anywhere in Canada or spend a lot of time waiting for public transit on frigid days.
They usually have an elasticized waist, making it easy to slip them over your regular trousers.
Most snow pants have boot gaiters: an elasticized cuff on the inner bottom of the pants. On days with deep snowfall, these gaiters prevent the snow from filling up your boots.
Many folk would not be caught dead in snow pants after the age of FIVE but those of us who require an extra layer of warmth are willing to look ridiculous.
Only last week, I ventured out to the ravine for a walk when I sunk up to my hips in snow. Yes, that's how deep it was and thankfully, I was wearing my snow pants.
Rather embarrassingly, snow pants make a swishing sound as you walk; the result of the fabric from one leg rubbing against the other leg. You cannot walk quietly in snow pants.
Go on and laugh at this fashion folly. The Mistress has restocked the "Banned" stickers and is ready to use them.
Note: We are aware that the British word for underpants is "pants" so extra "Banned" stickers have been ordered for anyone thinking, "oh how funny...The Mistress wears snow underpants!"

How cold IS it?
It is minus -43°C which converts to -45.4°F.
There is NO way to look stylish in this kind of cold.
And The Mistress must go to work.
What is the coldest temperature you Bitches have experienced?

Summon a houseboy to keep me warm... pronto.
At your service, Mistress...

The Beer Fridge
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
When life gives you snow, you make a BEER FRIDGE!...
Sadly, the Vodka Fountain and the Gincuzzi have frozen over.

Canada Welcomes 2013
…with a record snowfall.
Parked cars under mounds of snow.
I thought you Bitches in milder climes might like to see this…
(It's not necessary to turn on your speakers. And those of you with no patience can fast forward to see the number of trucks coming down the street at the end.)
The video clip shows Montréal (Huggy Jon’s hometown) digging out from a recent record snowfall and there’s almost as much snow here in Mistress MJ’s little corner of the cuntry. This is a fairly typical scene from any Canadian winter.
The snow is not only being swept up…it’s being loaded onto trucks and taken to one of 29 snow elimination sites or “snow dumps” in Montréal. Would you rather we ship it to your house?
The average volume of snow taken to disposal sites in Montréal per year is 325,000 truckloads.
Following a snowstorm, it can take up to 5 days to remove the snow from the streets and sidewalks in Montréal.
For the love of all that is holy, keep out of the way of the snow removal equipment!
Oh, and did you notice those unattractive structures in front of several houses? Those are called “tempos” or “abri-tempos.” Tempos are temporary shelters designed to protect your driveway and car from the winter elements…
Tempos are ubiquitous in Québec. Almost as bad as Crocs.
But it's not ALL bad.
Someone in my neighbourhood made a snow penis. It looked something like this...
Unfortunately, by the time I returned to take a photo (for you Bitches,) someone had knocked the penis off and all that remained were a pair of snow balls.
We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit to our Winter Wonderland.
