Whelbourns in Canada

• Tuesday 2 February 2010 - Brrr -26c

Just a quick entry to say it is bloody freezing today. Apparently it is a Stansfield day. The local forecaster uses Stanfield rating as a temperature gauge. Today is a 3 Stanfield Day. Oh yes they make lady Stanfields too

.

Minus 20 with a windchill making it feel like -26c and if you think this is bad there is a windchill warning for Northern NB and Gaspe Bay Peninsula -40c to -45c. The cold temperatures are forecasted for the next week (well below the seasonal norms) But the west coast is above normal and they are worried about snow for the Vancouver Olympics!

.

Apparently when it gets down to those sort of temperatures the air in your tyres contract so your tyres deflate and freeze with a flat bit at the bottom. Square wheels.... I bet that makes for interesting driving until they warm up!

.

OK time to go to work, layers of clothes is the answer and vanity takes a back seat to being warm.  Unfortunately I do not own a pair of Stanfield's, but I am rapidly rethinking that. Also I swear the silliest hat you have is the warmest! Mine is a trapper style hat (I do not look as cool as the guy in the photo on the link), when I wear it Gemma refuses to be seen with me
