-50C with windchill... keep warm!
 

I woke up this morning, weather being -37C with windchill of -50!!!

Keep warm everyone!!!!

I just saw the title of this post, and knew you had to be in Canada. :lol3:
You poor love... I'm so sorry! :brr:
We're at -11C (-16 with the windchill) going up to -2 today.
Stay warm, girl! :hug:

I was raged when I found out that the dayhome would be sending the kids to school (walking).

Todd works outside (construction worker) - so he's taking the day off. So he'll drive them to school - after he drives me to work ;)

I bought a brand new winter jacket yesterday, perfect timing. My previous coat was worn and tattered, and 10 years old!

That's appalling! :yikes: I'm glad to hear you're all getting drives.
We had a couple of below -40 days last year. I work at home, so I just kept the kids home. Crazy country. :dizzy:
I hope your new coat holds up. ;)

Wow... and here I thought that it being in the single digits is really cold for me. I can't even imagine!

I got to work about 30 minutes ago. There are 4 people out of 15 in the office today. Wow. The 4 that are here have no idea how my area is run

Hopefully some are late, otherwise I won't be taking ANY brakes today - no one to cover off the centre. YUK I can't leave students alone with their tests.

Knew this had to be a Canadian post also; we live in Northern Ontario. Last week, we had -40C's with the windchill factor; lowest actual temps were -35C in mid-January. Gee, I hope you don't send that out here.

Our Winter Carnival is starting next week, and we are sitting at -5C right now, and they are calling for rain ~ OH, NO! I agree about staying in or dressing extra well, cuz your skin can get frostbite really fast. Take good care ...

:hug:ROSEBUD:hug:

I live on the Canadian Border! I know all about cold, too! Two years ago, I think it was, we had a cold snap that lasted a week or so where the HIGH TEMP was -30 F...not a wind chill and not a low temp...this was at noon. At night it was about -40. I swear I thought the St. Lawrence River was frozen straight to the bottom. When the ice breaker came through in the spring, they said the ice was 6 feet deep. What a crazy winter that was!!

I feel your pain!! I suppose that's coming our way, isn't it! :fr:

Well thankfully my cover off staff came in LOL. The train system is a wreck today. And about 20 percent of the city buses were not starting.

Anyway - I will keep my fingers crossed for nice weather for your winter festival!

I'm loving Southwestern Ontario right about now. Every now an then we see a winter with -40 (before windchill), but they are rare. I'm just happy it might crack above 0 today. :dizzy:

It's actually about mid 30's in Wisc. I'm about to break out my shorts. lol

I agree taramalynn - It's freakin cold here. Most of my office isn't here yet either. I had to park outside last night and my car was not happy when I tried to start it this morning. But It started on the first try and I made it to the gym. Hoepfully, a chinook will come along soon!

A chinook should come in on thursday and raise the temperature to -7C YAY!!!!

Poor Todd works outside though with Graham construction - he ended up trying to call in today to say he wasn't going to make it, and their phone line is dead from the weather!

Oh man, my folks live north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska.

The coldest they've gotten this year is about -80F (-60ishC) and that's only as far as the thermometer on the school went to.

What's crazy about their weather is how often they jump from almost above freezing to negative fifty million ;>

Makes me glad I'm in a sensible place that maybe ices or snows every other year.

Oh my goodness!!!! How do you ladies stand it? I would never make it there.....

Sending warm thoughts your way!:flame::flame::hot::hot::sunny::sunny:

I'm down here near Zen Pharmacy where if it ices or snows (enough to stick) everything closes down!

OH MY GOODNESS!

We had snow here in my town, north San Diego county, California, back when I was in 8th grade ~ 1967....we just had our 40th Anniversary of it a few months back....they let us out of school...there was so much snow (;)) that all the neighborhood kids were able to get together and make a ...

SNOWBALL..............;)


STAY WARM!!!!

I hope you see warmer temps tomorrow :sunny: Stay warm but especially, stay safe if you have to go out. :hug:

It's days like these that seem that summer will NEVER come lol.

Boy I can't wait until Hawaii!

your poor dearies.....I live in Virginia and it's a lot colder than California, but it hasn't ever been that cold. We've gotten to 29F but felt like 17F. I though that was cold:(

It's only -7C (-14 with the windchill) right now, and we're getting freezing rain. But I'm cold and damp and crabby as all get-out. :mad: Plus my DH wants us to go skating on the canal this week. I hate skating, I hate the cold, and I want to know why my parents moved here instead of some southern state!! :brr:

I was thinking about you all yesterday when I was standing in my back stairhall. It's three stories, and virtually no heat gets to that part of the house. (I'm about to slip into Fahrenheit, as we have an old thermometer back there) It was 45F back there, and as I raced through it, I thought, "oh, boy, I can't wait until summer when it'll be about 90F back here. And humid." :rolleyes: Could we have a happy median, please!? :p

Zen, that temperature just makes me want to cry. :lol: What on earth possessed people to settle up here?!

Anne, you're one of the lucky ones. My SIL lives "down there", and we laugh when she tells us she has to get her broom out to clear away the dusting of snow. ;)

I feel your pain! We had temperatures in the 50's yesterday. Very unusual. I even washed my car! Today it's 5 with a wind chill of -20 and blizzard like conditions outside. What a difference a day makes!

My folks love it up there in the middle of nowhere. Alaska is definitely the best teacher salary in the country when you take in the other perks (such as the village subsidizing rent and heating oil).

And man, are summer's amazing.
