Flying Home

I'm back home but on the way my flight stopped in Winnipeg where we picked up more people than we got rid of. 

Not surprising, the weather isn't so great in 'the peg' at the moment.

 Shots taken from the window of the plane.

 Good-bye to Winter-peg. 

Winnipegers really hate it when we call it that.

 De-icing Westjet 697

De-Icing a United plane. My guess is that it was headed just across the line to Chicago.

The 'peg'

The train was scheduled to be in Winnipeg for 4 hours. We are late and it looks more like 45 minutes now.

Due to the lack of wifi and poor planning on the part of your truly my posts will be erratic until I get home Wednesday morning. 

I took this shot from the dining car about 0630 yesterday in Capreol, Ontario.

It's been cold of course. No one has accurate temperature info when we stop and everything is affected by wind chill but it's rumoured to be -45ºC in Winnipeg at the moment. I took a walk around the station and it's cold alright.
