Of course it can get much colder. I was just out and the wind's down to 9k so I thought it was pretty nice. There are huge sundogs!

Walking the dog in the -30's, I will be in my Sorel boots, ski pants over thermals, sweatshirt, Canada Goose parka and 150gram mitts.
And if it gets really cold, I'll swap the ski pants for the Choko snowmobile bib pants.

Wasn't cold today. +7 possibly warmer. Whistler was +3 at the village level. Apparently there was a temperature inversion there and it was actually warmer at the alpine level.

Was sunny today almost everywhere, except Whistler Village, foggy there, but 10 mins south, sunny sunny sunny.

I walked the dog today in -35 ... To be fair with layers on I didn't need huge amounts of fancy coats/snow pants which is good since being pregnant I can't get them over my tummy! Just had a pair of thermals under my jeans, vest, shirt and jumper.

I did think my face was going to freeze off though- don't know how to manage that!

Bit soft here...this temperature caused them to close all the schools. It didn't even snow.

Daughter just left for work (10 minute walk) wearing my snowmobiling togs.
Think Michelin Man. In black. It's minus effing awful here today.

Stop moaning. You try skiving off and going fishing in this nonsense.

-24 with feels -35 this morning.

Entering the taxi for trip back home with shopping, MrsBristolUK dropped her flip-top water bottle. The little puddle began to freeze before my very eyes.

Is that Vancouver?

Nice and sunny in Squamish, no fog.

Whistler has some inversion going on, so it's a tad foggy, and cool at the village level, but warmer at the alpine level. But still not cold, +2 or +3 roughly, probably about double in Squamish.
