Re: Winter 2017-18

It was -30 again this morning, went out and plugged the van in at 3:30. I have to fly to BC tomorrow so I'm deciding what clothes to take for a week of +3 daytime and -3 night temps for a change.

Re: Winter 2017-18

40 years ago on the section gang, I got a call from my foreman after midnight to come out and fix a broken rail north of town. It was freezing cold but I was assured the job wouldn't take the whole...

Re: Winter 2017-18

There once was a boy from Quebec
Who was buried in snow to his neck
When asked "Are you friz?"
He replied "Yes, I is,
But we don't call this cold in Quebec."

On the way to work the radio announced there is no part of Saskatchewan warmer than windchill of -40. Local weatherman Phil Darlington demonstrates how a pail of water thrown in the air at that temp...

Re: Winter 2017-18

It rained quite a bit yesterday and last night, and the temp dropped from -5 last night to -17 currently. The news is showing clips of people skating on streets and parking lots, and it looks really...

Re: Winter 2017-18

-35 here, but not much wind. Each winter in Saskatchewan and Manitoba we can expect a cold snap of -30 to -40 temps that lasts a week or 2, and some years there are more than one. Sometimes Alberta...

Re: Winter 2017-18
