Canadian Mishap

Zoomed in to said offending snowflake.
Curious to know a little known life-as-a-Canadian hazard?   

Choking on a snowflake. 

True story

Mishap occurs more than you'd think. I will never not recommend a brisk walk during a snowfall but if the wind(chill) is blowing a certain direction—the exact direction one must trudge to return home—well, dear friends, don't sing along with your ear pods or risk inhaling those adorable fluffy (damn) snowflakes. 

One more thing: if it weren't March this post would be unnecessary (even embarrassing) but it's time FOR THE MELT TO BEGIN. Sigh.

  1. I think a worse calamity is when your nose hair freezes together in a big clump.

  8. Worst $#@&(*%!!! winter for a long long time. Luckily I haven't choked on a snowflake yet, mainly because I've been avoiding the cold white outdoors.
