We survived without a flicker......SaskPower/SaskEnergy had their trucks out in force however. :)

We have a couple of trees worth of firewood at the side of the house (dying maples that had to come down) and candles galore so we weren't concerned (plus I've never seen power out longer than 6 hours here). Saskatoon is pretty excited about getting their 2nd ever *real* prairie blizzard (oh the stories that they will tell ;). DS had lots n' lots of smilie faces under his msn messenger handle......for the first time in his life classes were cancelled. We've hit -52 C here (actual reading) and schools were still open for the city kids.

Moose Jaw.......we went out to the pub (had a nice bowl of French Onion soup/hamburger and a nip or two ;) and then took a little drive before it really picked up.
