    How cold is it where you are?

    We in Alberta are in the middle of another Polar Vortex. Here are today and tonight's temperatures in Fahrenheit.

    Now (10:50 a.m.) -25°F Wind Chill -33

    Tonight: Low minus 41. Wind chill minus 39 this evening and minus 47 overnight. Frostbite in minutes. (This is also in degrees F)

    Thursday isn't much better - that's when a bunch of us carriers deliver the local newspaper. I invested in boots that are waterproof and rated to -40 (same temp on both scales).

    YIKES!

    So far, we have had no snow or frost. At this time, 19:30 it's 6 degrees Celsius. However, we'll get rain soon... again! I'd rather have a bit of snow and sun with a clear sky.

    So far, this "winter" has been a joke. For weeks now the temps are in the upper sixties (Fahrenheit), almost 20 degrees Celsius.
    And the rain won't stop. It has been about 2 weeks now when it started raining. It's a swamp around my house.
    Candace, maybe we can send some of the crazy weather each other's way.

    We had warm weather this weekend, and are facing much colder in the days ahead. Temperatures are changing rapidly here, and people worry that the maple sugaring season will be affected. Currently 33F, so just above freezing.

    How are you doing in Alberta now, Candace? I hope you and kitties are keeping cozy!

    How did the newspaper delivery go, and I hope your boots kept your tootsies warm. How often does the paper come out, with more deliveries to do, whatever the weather may be?

    Sending along warm hugs and purrrrrs your way!

    In Korea, where I am right now, there is no snow. It’s actually quite warm here. It’s sunny and just a little chilly.

    Wow, sounds nice! It is 26°F here, at the base of the mountain, so much warmer than yesterday, but still below freezing!

    This spring has been very cold everywhere. What is more frustrating is sharp temperature fluctuations. Such considerable changes in temperature are not good for many people suffering from heart diseases and blood pressure jumps. I am from the US, 972 area code. All these warnings about climate change are true, unfortunately. They will happen worldwide.

  13. Been 10° colder than our average for this time of the year for the past couple of weeks with lots of rain earning us 53° in the day an cold enough to see your breath at night.
    feels kinda like winters on the way instead of leaving
