It was about 8 PM last night when I pulled into a local gas station. It was probably about -10º, -30º with the wind chill. It was SNOWING.

I live in north central ND, about 25 miles from the 49TH parallel.

That would be at least a FEW miles from open water at this time of the year, but the BLONDE in front of me was prepared in the event of open water... she had her canoe along!

Looks to me like some guy is gonna get a real nice Christmas present there. I'd sure be greatful to get it.
 
I saw the samething only different Friday night. A Subaru SUV passed me in about 6" of snow with a canoe on the roof.
 
Summer vaction season June through Sept. On ocassion see roof racks with snow skies, not water skies. Coming from the US into Canada while it's 80-90F.
 
NAW, by the time I got through the whole bunch of BS to set the phone to camera function, she had retreated to the vehicle.

The other day we had 35mph wind gusts. I was fueling the tractor and I watched my dad's 17' aluminum canoe get blown off the posts it was sitting on and go whizzing down the hill past me. As I was dragging it back up the hill, I have to admit the thought crossed my mind, but then I remembered the high deductible on my health insurance.
 
C'mon, you've never gone down a long, steep, snow-covered hill in a canoe? When you end up on the frozen lake below, and the ice breaks up, you stay dry.
