Location: Sarnia, London road
Time: high noon
Slurpees have been found to be difficult to consume when a brittle straw snaps in half and there are no other straws or spoons in reach. Good experience with Dr Pepper and Pepsi, not so good with the weak Mtn Dew. Perfect after-sledding bevvy though.
Merry New Year

Freezing Rain in the Arctic
Weird, being up in Cochrane for our christmas festivities this week and having 3 days in a row with freezing rain. Sure am glad I got winter tires put on the jeep. It was nice having the kids sleep for the majority of our journey up as we left home at 4am and got here shortly after 2pm.
I managed to drive the whole stretch with the hardest part being right around dawn where I had a hard time staying awake. A quick stop for gas and the cold air woke me up.
Past new liskeard was all icy, one scary part was when a fuel truck had backed out of a driveway and couldn't get turned. I hit the brakes and slid for a good while before slowing down and getting control. Probably some of the crappiest weather I've driven in up north. Usually it's snow covered and too cold to get sloppy.

Time to do the trek again soon, and we're thinking of doing the whole stretch down to Narnia in a day. Yeehaw
