The cold wasn't too bad but the wind was brutal, at one point it blew over the heavy tool box (full of chunks of 2x4) that Sylvain used to transport his gear.<br /><br />We did discuss dressing up the part but opted out much to my wife's disappointment.<br /><br />Cheers<br />PD <br /><br />Peter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266274446798484845.post-2839565942248215552012-10-09T08:16:34.124-06:002012-10-09T08:16:34.124-06:00Subs under the snow?
