I would just like to say that the roads and traffic in downtown Calgary at 7pmish last night was horrendous.:thumbdown: AND it was blinking freezing in the lineup waiting for the parking ticket machine to spew forth the tickets:thumbdown::thumbdown:

Driving to work this morning.... -31C...

Me to Hubby (noticing the temperature guage move to -30C): "it's getting warmer!"

Hubby: That's because we just drove under a streetlight.....

Bloody heck its chilly at the moment.

I don't know how you Alberdans/Saskies can survive the temperatures you are getting!

This mildly sub zero temperature across Vancouver is enough to send my lips dry and force my winter jacket on. Well worth it, if we get some more snow soon though!

I beg to differ. :p

The chart emailed to you is incorrect. At 9.27am local time this morning Edmonton International Airport was somewhere between -35°C and -30°C not the -29°C indicated. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/trend..._metric_e.html

Calgary was between -30°C and -29°C for that time period, not -31°C. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/trend..._metric_e.html

Being extremely picky I know but there you go that's me. ;)

It's cold no matter how you look at it. :)

Is that cold enough to warrant using a block heater?

I did think it was a wee bit parky out when I took the kids down to the school bus...

Now I know why!
