When you are down about the weather just look at these pictures. This is August 20th – the first day of school in Artic Bay. A friend of mine who teaches up there sent it.

BRRRRRRRRR. Wonder where that is?

Arctic Bay (2006 Population 690) (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐃᒃᐱᐊᕐᔪᒃ, ikpiarjuk) is an Inuit hamlet located in the northern part of the Borden Peninsula on Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The 2008 Rand McNally Road Atlas shows a new name of Tununirusiq, but its status as official is not known. Arctic Bay is located in the Eastern Time Zone although it is quite close to the time zone boundary. The predominant languages are Inuktitut and English. As of the 2006 census the population has increased by 6.8% from the 2001 census.^[1]

The BBC has an average minimum temperature in February of -36 and a record low of -50. That is cold.
