It is getting very cold here now (~-20 degC), luckily the downtown area is designed with a network of heated passages between the buildings so you don't have to venture outside between the main offices, shops, transit and cultural buildings.
Today I went to an excellent concert by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at the Winspear Centre - not stuffy or uptight, just great music in a beautiful modern building. Last night I went to see the Oil Kings beat the Saskatoon Blades at Rexall Place, which is right next to the LRT station.
All achieved with only the briefest exposure to the weather outside!!
To be fair though, I did spend most of Saturday attempting to learn to ski at Rabbit Hill - and you can't do this inside - yet.....

Hey WER, thanks for your recent comment on wmtc. I'm a huge fan of the Regeneration Trilogy. Among other things, that's what led me to Siegfried Sassoon. I replied on my blog, but I didn't know if you'd check in again.
Stay warm!!
I've seen a documentary once on the underground cities of Canada, which also included images of snow hills covering the windows of the buildings' first levels... entirely--those were some dark flats.
I must say that underground cities sounded smart, sci-fi, and fascinating to the point where, until you moved there, they were my main reason to see Canada one day.
Keep writing, it's a new, adventurous life most of us won't taste otherwise :) Have you built any bridges yet?
