this gives a little bit more depth to what we here in Winnipeg that don't drive get to deal with. and we also get this on a regular basis:

can someone please invent a self warming/ het regulated snow suit and boot. even the ones the sell here are only -20-40 rated. we need -60 at times!

We call that snot-freezing weather. (Apologies to anyone who's grossed out). Stay warm!

Oh it's not so bad. I'm in Ontario for a little while where we're getting a low of about -20c. & a high of -10c. I still prefer that dry cold with sun over B.C.s damp & dark.

Of course maybe you should ask me what I think of the cold here after spending a full winter in it but for now, it's a nice break.

Brrrr. I can't imagine such cold -- and I live in New England, where it's not exactly warm. Think warm!

I think Rae and I could rant for a while about the weather in Winterpeg.

It's just awful right now. And I still see people walking around in spring jackets... I think we're just used to the cold.

But in June we'll be up around the +35°C range... it's quite variable here.
