-46C overnight making Edmonton the coldest place on Earth at that time. It's now -33C and not so bad. Staying in for the day though. It's for the better.

Yes, that certainly sounds a touch cool.
 
Nippy indeed. I recall a day or two with -35 C last winter. Not my idea of a jolly time.
 
I don't think I've ever been out when it was below 0 F. Low '20's was the worst I can recall and that was plenty bad enough!

Consider standing in a blast freezer Bear, with the wind blowing about 50mph. Skin freezes almost instantly. Welcome to the Canadian winter and it's only just beginning.
 
I remember a day in Chicago when it was maybe -20f. That's the coldest weather I've ever been in. I had to stop for gas-- paid, pumped, and started to drive away... :eek: with the nozzle still in the tank!

LUCKILY I didn't damage the pump or my car. The owner came running out and said; "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!" and I said; "It's soo coooold...." and he seemed to understand.

Makes you glad to be back in California, no? :D

Oh, it did for a while. For about the first four years, it was tee shirts year around.

But now, its what-- 40f, and it feels so cold to me that I could try to drive away with a pump nozzle all over again!

Plus this 36 hour virus that has put me on my ass this weekend isn't going through the midwest. It's a warm weather virus. :mad:
 
30 minutes until the furnace kicks in and gives us evening heat. *brr*
 
Dashing through the snow cause it's too f'ing cold to stay out in it any longer in a one-horse open sleigh the other one died of over-exposure O'er the fields we go because we went off the road laughing all the way because we know we're going to die Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright that would be my broken bottle of whiskey that's burning oh what fun is to ride with a sleighing song tonight because they sang when the Titanic sank as well, didn't they
