The fountain by the bridge in Osoyoos froze in interesting shapes in the blast of cold weather. Although it was only about -3 C when this photo was taken, icy north winds made it feel much colder. Much of Canada is locked in a deep freeze as the jet stream holds in cold Arctic air. No respite is in sight until after the weekend. (Richard McGuire photo)
