At the parking lot
We have been in deep freezing temperatures here in Winnipeg these past few weeks. And we’re finally getting warmer temperatures now. But then again, warm and cold is relative. Just look at the cartoon in the editorial page of The Herald this week. 
Well, anyway, I was finally able to get my camera out in the open and take quick snap shots at the church parking lot on Sunday. As usual, we made it just in time, one minute before the mass started, and the parking lot was already full. We ended up parking in the lot of the school adjacent to the church.
This baby plows and clears the snow in the parking lot.
The school parking lot has these electrical outlets where you can plug your car.
Cars here in Manitoba are equipped with block heaters to keep them warm in freezing temperatures. So it’s very common to see plugs hanging out from the hood of the cars.

that block heater is new to me. my husband said they have it New York, too. our weather here is in the low 60′s.
Block heaters; that is something relatively new to me.
(:
For a tropical resident like me, block heaters and car plugs are totally something different.
Oh how cool! I’d never heard of that – though it totally makes sense for you that live in those freezing temps!
yeah, never heard of it..totally new! pretty amazing though..:)
Hi Niceheart, back to blogging
! Electrical plugs are practically helpful to cold countries like Canada! I don’t think we have that in France, kudos to the person for wonderful and daring idea ! Happy weekend !
No car plugs here in Ontario too
Means were quite mild compared to Manitoba 
Hi niceheart
cold (9 degrees) in here too, but no snow, fortunately for me as I don’t like snow very much. Oh well, thank God for block heaters, I’m sure it works wonders
Ay, ang ginaw! I thought we were going into Spring already here in the UK..earlier than you guys in Canada but now there’s report of snow coming sometime next week and the spring flowers have folded up again…the weather’s really gone bonkers! Anyway, Happy Easter!
Plugged in cars. Never heard that before. Very interesting, Nice Heart.
