Man, they promised us a polar vortex, and the temps bottomed out at a mere -19.3C last night (about -3F).

Extremely disappointed. We need four days of temps below -30C to kill off all the &^%*ing ticks!!

@alan didn’t realize this about ticks! so in the far north there’s probably no ticks eh? come to think about it we weren’t warned about ticks when i was treeplanting in ogoki. the mosquitoes made up for it and then some though.

@sabbatical 15-20 years ago the only place you could find them was on the north shore of Lake Erie, 10 years ago they were rare here between Central and Eastern Ontario. Now they're a constant pain in the... anywhere.
