This past Monday was ‘young women’s day’ within the Moravian church. Like other Church festive days there are church services and a day of eating and celebration for the participants.

No pictures but the 15 or 16 young ladies sure did look nice when they came out of the town hall in single file and headed up the road for a short [it was – 35 wind chill] parade.

All dressed up they were in colorful Amautik, kamiks. In this weather most had slacks or long dresses under their Amauitik, two brave soles had short skits.

Yesterday the wind chill had risen to about -25 or so, ideal for taking some pictures, not.

None the less I managed some. This series is of kids sliding on the ice wall on the down stream side of the old dame. Note: The kids were not truanting; there was a teacher in service it seems.

Won’t be long and the ice will be at the top of the culvert if these conditions keep up.

Fran wanted one of her and the dog besides the Inukshuk, had a time getting Siutik to stay still.

Then later this shot below taken from the ice of Northern store.

There are two types of transportation in that picture at right that would not be there in past years. We have had so little snow that the council has not had to plow, bulldoze or even groom the roads this winter. I think most people have given up hope of us getting any large volumes of precipitation, having said that.

Yesterday being 'International woman's day' sees an event here today in the NG board room to celibate the event.

Fran, among others, has been invited to give a little presentation of some sort.
