It has not stopped. I fear we are getting into Dr. Kol territory. Yes, Canadians...you have won. I guess there is nothing for it then. Well...what else is there to do? Ah! Switch watches to the one I just got back from the watchmaker: CHEERS! Literally.

Wow. You seem to know how the Lapps handle the snow and ice!

Anti-freezing liquid is the answer. Best and most popular is 80% ethanol or strong vodka but for sure Beefeater will also do. Just keep in mind that the minimum portion is about 750 ml per night. You could also try 80% Jaegermeister, the Austrian medicine. Best, Kari
