Edmonton Arrival

Although the mountains were cool, the prarries were cold. I got off the bus at Edmonton at 10:30 pm, windy and -7. Waking up the next morning in my motel I could see it was sunny outside before opening the curtains. This was the view that greeted me. Sunny and -7.

It's mainly ice, not snow, that you can see. An average 2700 hours of sun a year makes Edmonton one of the North America's sunniest places, not one of its warmest.
