a st. patrick's day snowstorm

for most of the past few weeks, our daytime highs have been above zero.. even yesterday was a balmy 8 degrees outside and all of our snow had disappeared and La Ronge became it's usual mudpit.

as I had to work night shift on st. patrick's day, I put myself to bed around 7pm and it was still warm and raining out... a few five hours later, this is what I walked to work in.. I'm pretty sure some of the drifts in the parking lot are now over a foot deep.

March came in like a lamb, climaxed as a lion, and probably out like a bitch...

Yay La Ronge!

Ice Wolves on the Win!

Our darling Junior A team here, the La Ronge Ice Wolves, finished 3rd in the regular season and beat the 4th place team, the Humboldt Broncos, to go up against the 1st place team in the division, the Flin Flon Bombers.. who we CREAMED Sunday night!!!

Our fans started a tradition during the Humboldt series, that when we score a goal, we throw a fish out onto the ice.. this originates from Mafia times when people who found a dead fish on their doorstep soon found themselves dead. The team has embraced it by bringing their own cooler to keep behind the bench and bbq's up the fish after every win!

Friday, our next series against the North Battleford North Stars begins in North Battleford. We will see Mr. Pearson and his team in La Ronge on Tuesday!!! May the winning continue!
