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

Re: How cold is it?
 

-22, supposed to go to -31 tonight.

-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.

Re: How cold is it?
 

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.

Re: How cold is it?
 

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.

Re: How cold is it?
 

That must take up a helluva lot of room...all those tables. :rofl:

Re: How cold is it?
 

Do you spread the pitch out on something grippy? We used to have rucks in the pitch otherwise - hence the carpet. I always dreamt of having the pitch mounted on a padded mounted board. But my Dad ran off with the guy fixing the boiler and my Mum was always too of her tits on Thunderbird and we only had a penknife as a tool kit.

But they were good times.
p.s. our teams were all 80's too.

32F and snowing.

Snowing all the way Whistler to Squamish, and not one plow or salt truck on the highway. Nice to see BC as incompetent as ever when it snows.

Luckily once about 25 minutes south of Whistler it was not sticking anymore, but the first 25 minutes was hazardous, could not see the road markings at all, hard a times to judge where your lane was.

Re: How cold is it?
 

-32, high today -25

Re: How cold is it?
 

Looks like we've bottomed out at -34 with a windchill of -46, cold as part of a brass monkey.
