Icebergs on the South Saskatchewan River! They sure sound funny when they smash into the foundation on the bridges. 
It was snowing and very cold out, I didn't want to take the camera out too much in this weather, in case it freezes it.
I did go for a ride tonight, it was really cold about -13 Celsius, really cold for now until January or so when it will probably hit -30. I suited up in my parka, ski pants, three pairs of socks, and I actually managed to fit my balaclava under my helmet. I was actually pretty warm all bundled up in my winter clothes. I managed to get in almost 11 kms and it was a pretty good ride. There is starting to be some ice on the river. It usually gets ice around the edges, I don't think I've actually ever seen it frozen right over. Is it a little crazy to be going out in this weather? Maybe, but I want to stay in shape as long as possible, it only takes two weeks to start losing you fitness level, and I don't want that to happen. Anyway the recumbent is a lot better then any other regular bike that I've ridden. I feel warmer on it I think because your full front is not exposed such as it is on a diamond frame. I think that if it gets any colder I will probably need some heated socks, I wore three sets of socks tonight and my feet still go cold. Hopefully I will be able to get out tomorrow, unless it starts to snow even more. So ride safe (if you still are) and have fun!
