OMG.... -20 for a high?? Ouch... I think I've only seen that here about twice since I moved here 10 years ago. That's insane, for a high. If it was -32 (Assume w/out the windchill.), in the morning, it must've hit like what... -40 for the low?
I have never seen a Christmas without snow I think it would be a good change of pace.
Ok, getting back to the subject at hand... I wonder if it was proper for the ranks to give a little something in appreciation to the sensei?
