Comments: The recent cold snap across most of Canada brought back some memories of winter in Shilo in the early sixties. I don't recall the schools closing even when the temperature reached -40. (Maybe they did-but we like to think that we were much hardier then!)
I do recall how cold those old brown army buses were when riding to Brandon, or other communities for sporting events.
Remember those frost shields that were mounted on the vehicle windo ws to enable a partial view outside?
Remember Snuffy Clark not letting any of us kids leave the swimming pool at the Rec Centre until he confirmed that we had dried our hair?
I remember unsuccessfully trying to ice-fish at Waggle Springs-the ice was too thick for our feeble attempts to cut a hole!
Comments: Thank you Shilobrats for sharing your Christmas photos, for 3 more days until December 31, ShiloBrats will feature your photos as Christmas cards on our cover page. Watch as the cover photo changes every 5 seconds for over 20 photos now, and surprise!...one of them may be you. Check each day to see if new ones have been added. Merry Christmas!
