Operation Manatee #262 – This Again?

Someone must have reminded Mother Nature it was winter still because the last few days have been pretty darn frosty. What do you think is worse; is it a dry, freezing cold? Is it the wind that brutalizes the prairies? Is the seeping chill of a wet BC cold even worse? Either way, let’s not
