That looks like the river boat from The Ozarks on Netflix.

Was going to go to Drumheller grocery shopping Mon AM. Let dog out, he was back PDQ, checked temps, meh, Tues will warm up nicely. Been -10 to -15F for 4-5 days, had snowed 4-5 days earlier, I hadn't cleaned yard sidewalks, didn't need to go out anywhere. Warmed up Tues, started to melt, go clean yard up, 12-14" drift across frt walkway. Go to town (23KM one way) about 2-2;30ish, still really nice out. Came home 4;45ish, wind had built up while in town 30-50mph. Get to top of valley hill northbound, drifted in NB lane, black ice, blowing snow all the way home. Have to turn west 5km from home, damned near a whiteout in daylight. Come Wed noon, nice out again, dig the sidewalk out again, another 14" drift. By 8;00pm Tues nite, wouldn't know I'd touched it 8 hrs earlier. Hwy east to Hanna was closed so they could plow the drifts and clear the stuck vehicles, done by 9-10;00AM.
Just another day on the northern prairie.

The big thing in that part of the country is the wind. Drove up to Strathmore the other day and it was warm enough (35F), but the wind was fierce. Meanwhile, at home, there was no wind but it was 5F, down to -8 overnight. Got to go back up to Calgary to look at a skid steer and not real excited about the trip. WH
