How cold is cold?

[chocolatepuppy]

That's COLD!!! Coldest I remember was -22F on 1-19-1994. I worked afternoon shift and had to go home at midnight.

Nothing stops here for the cold. We just trudge thru it and carry on. Like this morning, thinking of how to bundle up as it's a bit warmer at -25oC, but the wind chill is -36oC this morning so will need to keep the wind off. The good news, it's going to warm up tomorrow! Into the minus single digits - woo hoo!

I am such a wuss when it comes to the cold and I live in Iowa. We had recordbreaking snows last year and I hated it. I don't think I could do that much cold.

Now when I lived in North Dakota we'd get sometimes get -40 temps, but that was usually with the wind. And I think going out in it stinks!
You are definately a hearty Canadian

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.

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!

After reading that I got the chills & am going to have to throw another couple of pieces of wood in the stove. Burr!

OMG I love this. And it's so darn true.

We're in the midst now of a lovely warm spell. Know it won't last for long though. But it is much welcome relief. Everything is melting and messy.

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!

[Queen of Poop]

WOO HOOOOOO! It's warmed up! Currently only -4oC. Going to feel like summer when I get out there!

Sandie that poem is so funny--- and so true! Right now it is minus 3c here but freezing rain overnight and tomorrow morning

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!
