How cold is it?
 
Currently in the Queen City -30 (-39 with windchill), but of course it can get much colder. :lol:

Currently -1 here where I live in NS and still no snow to speak of this winter, yet:thumbup:

Not cold, we've had an English winter so far.

'warmed up' to windchill of -37 now, but was much colder overnight/first thing.
Ice inside the windows this morning - time to get the bounty out and mop it up :thumbdown:
We have got off very very lightly this winter so far, but I think it may have arrived now. :sneaky:

Still can't believe it's almost next year and no snow on the ground. None at all.

Not that cold either. -7 and that's only the wind chill taking it that low.

Pretty chilly this morning at 4 degrees, though the blue skies and sun are making up for it.

Its 5c but it feels like 2c. :thumbdown:

It's currently 2 but with windchill -2.

Supposed to get down to -9 overnight tonight. Not too bad, but a bit chilly for this region.

We had a lovely December, right up to yesterday - then it remembered it was December. A calm -17 right now, getting colder tonight.

Wow its winter in Canada and a thread about how cold or not it is this might be a first for BE :rofl:
At 0630 (6.30am) it was a balmy minus 41C with the wind chill on my way to work.
Perhaps the hipsters should move here and see if this affects their beards or man buns.
It is nice and sunny though.

Nice day here today. Sunny and 33F outside.

And the pansy in the front yard is still blooming :confused:

Down to 1C, but the wind has calmed so doesn't feel too bad.

Currently 4 Celcius in Vancouver. Sunny day, fresh snow on the local mountains - the first significant snowfall for the mountains all season.

Made for a horrible drive through mountain highways though, the Sea to Sky was a complete mess on Saturday. Fresh new snow is a double edged sword. Attracts lots of skiers, but most can't or don't know how to drive in the weather and end up sliding off the roads.

the weather gadget on my PC says it's -29C in Vegreville but has a "feels like" -36C in the small print.

Colder then my freezer...lol

Its a brisk -4 right now according to my thermometer.

Re: How cold is it?
 
We're -26 with windchill.

Unfortunately we're now at the point where anything warmer brings snow.

Can't complain though. We've got away with it so far.

Give it a couple of days and

It's even chilly here. I had to cover up my tomato plants last night because there was a frost warning. It got down to 4 C ! It was only 17C today which is way below normal.

Re: How cold is it?
 
-2 at the moment, appears to be the last day of cold weather in the forecast for the next week or so, tomorrow forecast +3 and warming up through the weekend up to +10 next week. But who knows what will happen.

Yesterday it was tear streaming brass monkeys.
Today it appear to be a chinook. So T Shirt weather.

scrubbedexpat091 Dec 31st 2014 7:50 am

Re: How cold is it?
 
+1 currently here. A bit colder then the forecast for the high, but guess the day isn't over yet.

Greenhill Dec 31st 2014 9:49 am

Re: How cold is it?
 
-19 with windchill. Hands are still thawing after a very short walk with the dogs.

Disappointingly warm.

4 degrees Celsius in Vancouver. The rest of the week looks like it'll be 6, 7, 8, 9 degrees with rain in the forecast most days. A fairly typical Vancouver January.

scrubbedexpat091 Jan 3rd 2015 8:26 am

Re: How cold is it?
 
-1 here in Whistler at the village level.

+3 58km south of here in Squamish.

Glad I am off tomorrow, Whistler is supposed to get 30cm of snow between today and tomorrow with most falling tomorrow.

The highway will be a cluster if it snows that much. Need to ban rental cars from it in winter, tourists can take buses.

Atlantic Xpat Jan 3rd 2015 8:52 am

Re: How cold is it?
 
-11c or so absolute but -20 or lower for windchill. Tomorrow is supposed to be colder but Monday pm will be +10c!

caretaker Jan 3rd 2015 9:04 am

Re: How cold is it?
 
-22, supposed to go to -31 tonight.

Re: How cold is it?
 
-17/-27 when I went on a short walk to the local shop this morning.

Without a trace of sarcasm, the woman serving me asked "chilly out walking?" :lol:

Tomorrow's weather has a hint of irony:

Rainfall warnings for Nova Scotia
Winter Storm warning for Vancouver

(And the rest of the country is lit up like a brake light Public Weather Alerts for Canada - Environment Canada.)

4c in Ajax but feels like 2c in the light drizzle

It has put the naffers on my fishing trip so we're having an old school Subbuteo tournament instead.

Hey that sounds fantastic. How many teams do you have? Are they the modern strips? My brother and I had over 30 teams at one point. Got none now. Do they still even make it? What have you got the pitch on? I'm too creaky to grovel around on a carpet for any length of time.

Last time I played - about 15 years ago - I had mine on a snooker table.

Ooooh! that's a CUNNING idea. It would grip wonderfully. We didn't have a snooker table though....

Dinning/living room table. A colleague of mine has a fairly large collection of mainly 80s and 90s ones.
