For Canada Day, I'd like to share The Most Canadian Picture ever. It also helps me to remember that colder temperatures are possible.
This sled thingy was improvised by installers at Dave Rampel Solar farm on Rainy River First Nations land in NW Ontario (it's about 1 km from Minnesota). It was below -35 °C on that day, and the installers were finding that their cable ties were shattering from the cold. So they went home.
