I just saw the title of this post, and knew you had to be in Canada.
You poor love... I'm so sorry!
We're at -11C (-16 with the windchill) going up to -2 today.
Stay warm, girl!
I was raged when I found out that the dayhome would be sending the kids to school (walking).
That's appalling! 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.
I hope your new coat holds up.
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 ...
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!
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.
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!
-50C with windchill... keep warm!
I'm glad to hear you're all getting drives.
