What is the temperature in your area?
 

ive been indoors for about half an hour and my hands are still freezing, and i dont contemplate taking my coat off for another fifteen minutes...

temperature tonight to hit -34 with windchill in calgary - what about the rest of the country?

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

My kids and I came back from beach just before lunch, and like you I haven't been warm since. It's 3c here in Victoria, but really damp and cold - feels very much like it could snow at any time. In fact, they have been predicting snow here for the past few days.

I have 3 pairs of thermal socks, my thermal underwear and 2 sweatshirts on and my hand are still cold.

Time I think for a good stiff drink of some sort.

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

yeah tell me about it! i remember the cold damp of the uk.. it never got cold, but the damp used to go right through me. you think i would be used to the cold by now!

still prefer it to the stifling heat tho, any day! i just hope my car starts tomorrow :D

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

I suggest that you close the windows and turn off the air conditioning.

I PMSL at this. I had a mental image of you in your thermals with the biggest pair of pants on in the world, hence the PARACHUTE PANTS !!!!!!!!!

Dont say things like you wear thermal undies, does not bode very well in the mans mental image department of you !!!!!!!!!!!!

Get what I mean !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) OR MAYBE NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

-10 in montreal today :/

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

with/without windchill? gotta love the windchill :)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

damn! a woman's gotta keep warm! ;)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Exactly (hehehe)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

High of -5, -11 with windchill, with some light snow. Freezing rain forecast overnight. Lovely. I'd rather have -34 than freezing rain. Still, everything is very pretty once its done:)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

-2 C now in Kelowna, BC (6 PM).

Oggy

regina -13 in day -20 at night

sunday was much colder

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Sure beats the perpetual grey skies and rain or dampness that I experienced in Lancashire.

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Hope you don't have to drive in it tonite - if so be really careful!!!! We can't afford to lose a "lurker".... :D

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

i remember my mother sending me photos of the ice storm of 97, when i was in the uk... it was a killer.. but what a gorgeous sight (if you were lucky enough to have power and watched it from a well heated house) :)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

It's -10 during the day without any windchill. Actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, we had some snowball fights and improved the snowman, it's very difficult to get a carrot into an already made snowman - Ooer Missus!

We're forecast freezing rain tonight too, I haven't experienced that yet but it doesn't sound too good.

One other question, we had a very thin layer of ice on the inside of the windscreen today, is this just the moisture in the air of the interior of the car or should I be taking a trip to the garage again?

Thanks

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

...but it is meant to be getting warmer... a high of 5 for thursday!!!

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Its not. Go carefully! Very Carefully.
Its just one of the joys of winter. Could well be there for a while. Best bet is to just scrape it off with the back of your glove or something, it takes forever for the demister to deal with it.

Enjoy, only another 5 or 6 months to go
:eek:

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

think you should invest in some gloves... that'll sort out your hands!!!

actually, i'm extremely happy i invested in a kanuk winter jacket... expensive even in their sale... but i can go out in only a long sleeve t-shirt under this jacket and not feel cold... :)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Hi There,

well in cold, damp lovely lancashire today it is dry but chilly, about 10 (above not minus) so fairly warm compared to you lot.:)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Ugh. I forget about how deceptively cold it is in Victoria. It's like the cold goes right up the soles of your shoes, travels along your bones and up your spine. And there's nothing that works against it! Brrrrrr. I'll be there in a few weeks and not looking forward to that aspect of it!

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

This pic was from driving home from work last night in my neighbourhood, you can see how cold it is, even from the inside of the car, and all the snow on the floor. Rain is predicted for today ( Tuesday )

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

But are you getting any sun or are you suffering from SAD (http://www.sada.org.uk/)?

While it might be cold in Canada we do get a lot of sunshine.

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Hi Flashman,

well the sun is really shining today and is going to shine tomorrow aswell, so off for nice walk with the dog this afternoon. When i lived in Calgary i remember the sun being really bright all winter.

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Morning from Victoria. 4c with rain, rain and more rain, but feels much milder than yesterday. We are predicted to have sun this afternoon. One can only hope that we could ever be so lucky.

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

hehehe I was going to try the gloves, but my husband told me it would be grounds for divorce. He wasn't happy with the outfit I had on already. He gave me a shot of rye and that really did the trick. Wonder if I could use that to knock out the kids? :D

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

No, save the good stuff for yourself and give the children Gravol. :)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

26c here in Melbourne

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Sounds far too hot. It's just pleasant in London. :)

Not according to this, it doesn't:

Just goes to show you that OZ is not what it's cracked up to be........LOL

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

i bought a SAD lightbox my last winter in the uk... it helped (one would hope as i paid a lot for it!) i think thats one thing that makes this cold worthwhile... the sunshine!

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

lol i spent the better part of last night with my gloves on! but then my hands are *always* cold

we had a little airplane tester size bottle of vodka here.. but im saving that for the really cold weather ;)

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Its 10.13 am here and its a balmy 21 below. I have a 3 month old shih-tzu puppy and I have to admit that I have resorted to putting him on a long leash and letting him "go" on the deck so I don't have to go out with him. He goes out - I stay inside and hold the leash. He hasn't yet figured out how to get down the steps to the garden.

I guess I'd better get out there with a plastic bag and pick up the frozen dumps!

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

And that does bode well in the man's mental image department, when one considers the alternative. Er, if I may say so. :o

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

[QUOTE=Velouria]lol i spent the better part of last night with my gloves on! but then my hands are *always* cold

My hands and feet are cold all the time, so my husband is used as a heating pad to get and keep them warm.

We are actually having some sunshine right now - unbelieveable - wish it would warm up a bit or l'll have to bring out the thermal underwear again. :D

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

No, you may not!!!! A woman has to do what a woman has to do!!! :D

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

Or you can just wear your Mac......LOL

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
 

yeah - she looks warm! *laughs* (actually, more like 'can you get this photo shoot over with already..')

Re: What is the temperature in your area?
