April 20: “Summer” in Yellowknife

I am not kidding: I took this picture downtown Yellowknife about an hour ago (I posted this at about 3 pm)! And it doesn’t say -21, but +21 Celsius. Can you believe it?! No, neither can we, but it is true; it is about 20 degrees warmer than it is supposed to be around this time of year. The last week has been crazy with rising temperatures. The snow is melting quickly.

This is just the only thing I wanted to share with you right now. Bas and I have both been busy and not much ‘weblog-worthy’ took place. However, another update will follow soonish, because we know it has been too long since  you heard from us. Anyway: all is well in Yellowknife!
