Families skate at The Forks on New Year's Eve during the annual year-ending celebrations. Manitoba children get an extended winter break and don't head back to the classroom until January 9, but most workplaces resume normal operating hours today after the holidays. Garbage and recycling pickup also resumes today, marking Day 2 on the five-day schedule. Weather-wise, Winnipeg is in for a treat today after minus double digits on Monday. Environment Canada is calling for a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 3°C. (TED GRANT / CHRISD.CA)
