Wow! Just wow!

And I thought the -2F (-18C) we reached last night/this morning was cold. I could feel the moisture in my nose freeze up with each inhale.

Sure it is even though is "warmer" than Kanata. At least for me living in Tampico, Mexico.

-32 C feels like -41 here

You Kanucks are made of tough stuff, boy. I think I would be whimpering in front of the fireplace at that temperature.

Some of us, especially the people in the far north. I felt for the people of Nipawin, SK, where the windchill was -40C to -45C yesterday and road travel was discouraged. It's mind-boggling to zoom down to many arctic communities on Google Earth and see communities of houses like you find in the south, except that they get weather like this most of the winter. Those people are tough!

EDIT: ... and the extreme cold warning in Saskatchewan is expected to last into the weekend, with windchill temps of -38C - 44C.

I drove to work in and my car was showing -18 this morning. The January 1st Polar Dips are looking to be really interesting this year. Glad I'm not one who enjoys such crazy activities.

Ah, c'mon. -26c is only -14 in freedom units. A walk in the park! But uhhh . . . . no, I won't be visiting there.

I love XKCD. This one seems to apply...and this one.

Its 4 F here in Indiana.

I have to laugh sometimes as some people will take their car thru a auto car wash because its "dirty" with salt and such on it. Then no more windows and opening doors! lol..

We had a bout of Freezing Rain here recently and I had to climb into the drivers seat from the passengers side door as it was the only one I could get open. The locks literally froze up, still couldn't get out after a 45min drive.

Looks like we're in for a full week of nippy weather....

I'm not really a dry-desert person, but THIS is the time of year I'm happiest to live in New Mexico:

I remember wearing shorts one day walking to school when it was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. My legs looked like red Popsicles and my thighs burned as soon as I got inside to a heated classroom. I put too much stock in my Irish blood that day, and so I never did it again.
