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

And they are complaining over here in britian, that the forcast is snow for the end of this week...it nothing compaired to what you guys are getting at the mo

Driving into work this morning, the temp guage hit -32 degrees.

We're up to a balmy -25 right now.

ohh a positive heatwave then

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.....

I just walked back from Court in a suit only. It was bracing to say the least

Just had this emailed to me

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!

Yes, I heard on the radio this morning the Calgary was 'the second coldest place on the planet', my kids think this is great!

I beg to differ.

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?

For some.

Even pickier. The chart says -29 F which is -33.8 C.

Good catch.

I totally missed that.

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

Now I know why!
