I am a born and raised California girl. I would for sure freeze to death in those temps. I'd be a popsicle!
It gets cold up in Tahoe, but I'm just visiting usually. I could NEVER live in temps like that. Well, I guess I "could", but I choose not to. :) I'll visit anytime though. :p
No, you have to live in the South. Just 1 inch of snow and everything shuts down.Quote:

That seems a little ridiculous. I generally don't mind extreme temperatures anymore, thanks to my job as a costume character during the summer, especially the cold. I mean after standing in a furry costume in 97 Degrees F weather I usually appreciate the cold. -33 C sounds a BIT to cold for me though! :eek:
WOO HOOOOOO! It's warmed up! Currently only -4oC. Going to feel like summer when I get out there!
Your having a HEAT WAVE :D.Quote:

It's rather chilly here today - in the low 40's. It's raining and there is even a little sleet mixed in. Too early to be getting that nonsense after our brutal winter last year! :(

I headed out yesterday to PetsMart (cross town) when it started to sleet
pretty heavy so I changed my plans & shopped for kitty food& litter at the local Kroger store. ( 1/2 block away)
I don't see how any machinery works at those colder temps.:confused:
Thought you would enjoy this; friend on FB wrote it:
Winter in Canada:
It's winter in Canada
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
...At thirty-five below.
Oh, how I love Canada
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Canada
Cuz I'm frozen to the ground!

I used to live in Grand Centre/Cold Lake, Alberta ... the day we arrived it was minus 35c with a wind chill of minus 50c. Instant frozen skin!! I did love the place though!
After reading that I got the chills & am going to have to throw another couple of pieces of wood in the stove. Burr!Quote:

It is -12 here with a ice hanging off of everything. It is real pretty with the sun hitting it. The trees & bushes look like they are covered with beautiful translucent crystals. We were lucky the electricity didn't go off. :eek:
