There are plenty of reasons to visit Winnipeg, but cold wintry weather isn’t usually one of them.
But if you’re from Australia, snow and low temperatures are downright exotic.
So a group of tourists from down under is in town, to see if they can handle Winterpeg.
A cold day in Australia is about 12 degrees.
“We left our sunshine coast home at 28C and now we’re being greeted by -15 or -20 so it’s a little different,” Keith Guy.
“It’s colder than I thought it would be,” laughs Marilyn Guy.
Lorry Lesyk promises to give his Aussie visitors the ultimate winter experience, including clearing his roof.
Staying warm wasn’t a problem for the pair. Keith brought his Alpaca hat and Marilyn had tricks of her own.
“I’ve got cotton socks on, then I got possum socks on… Then I got leggings and I got my jeans,” says Marilyn.
“It’s so much time involved, if you want to go down to the shop for a paper, it takes you half an hour to get dressed,” Keith.
The extra clothes came in handy when the group tried making snow angels.
