January in Winnipeg

Downtown Winnipeg mid-morning blizzard traffic

Photo, thousand words, you get the picture. Winnipeg rarely closes downtown entirely during a blizzard, there are always hardy (or fool-hardy?) souls who brave the elements on foot or mechanically when everyone else is telling them to stay home and stay out of trouble. Have to admire them though, doesn't matter what this city throws at them, be it blizzards or biblical swarms of mosquitoes, nothing stops a Winnipegger when they really have to be somewhere else.
