Cold enough to freeze your berries off
Snow sits on the berries and branches of a tree, creating a wintery image. Monday’s temperatures dropped to -17 overnight. Temperatures are set to drop to as low as -24 over the next couple of days, warming slightly Saturday in time for the Morinville Light up the Night Festival. – Stephen Dafoe Photo.
