Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

-29 this morning in Regina, (7 below normal temp) but the box says Ottawa is only 2 degrees warmer so that must be significantly below their norm. It can get much much colder (I think Winnipeg got the worst of this system over the past 4 or so days). A warming trend is on the way so with luck Ontario could get better too.

Yes, it's -28 here now, with a Government windchill warning of -35 to -45 and I don't intend to stick my head out to find out what it feels like. Its a bit dispiriting.

-19.5C on the car thermometer this morning. The worst I've seen is -35C so it's nowhere near a record. Chilly though, I might wear a hat tomorrow.

Worst start to winter in the 7 years we have been here. Already had our driveway ploughed x4 in the space of 10 days. I think it's going to be a long hard winter this year

Ski pants are the answer, and all the other stuff. When it's below about -23 I don't want to get cold while scraping and warming the van up, driving to work so I just put them on. Dressed up and with a scarf I can walk around in -44 and not be too cold. For the climate of a distant planet we dress like spacemen.:D

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

Its supposed to be 4C today, and 5C tomorrow, and pretty much the same for the next week.

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

-26 c overnight here in Ottawa...but its a 'dry cold" ;)

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

Today I wish NB were a distant planet! I'm not bad with the kit, I've got the ski stuff, and for Christmas something call Heat Generating underwear...so that should be an experience:o the problem is your face...and glasses. I'm warm as toast, but if I swathe my face, my glasses steam up....I can't see without my glasses.

Millie when you go to a big drug store ask for the stuff you coat your lenses with. It's a hassle but it works. Should either be a spray or sort of waxy stuff like lip balm. Any optician should have it too.

I took a hot water bottle with me in the car. Oh for heated seats!

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

-16C here this morning and -28C or so with the windchill. Not exceptional for you mainlanders but about as cold as it's ever got in my 9 years in Newfoundland. Chilly and bright and a shock after a relatively balmy month in the UK.

Lots of snow too. 112cm fallen so far this year with another 25-35cm forecast tomorrow into Saturday. Thats way more than this time last year. Probably by raining next week though.

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

-13C...our thermometer is located on a sheltered balcony...therefore it is probably several degrees colder. Light snow overnight.

Re: It's cold... brrrrrrr
 

Warmer than it has been @ just -32c (windchill of -38) in the peg.
Might even venture outside today ;)

Yes that is a problem. I tried one of those ski mask things with just eyeholes. A bit too tight over glasses and too restrictive vision on the bike. Not that I cycle when it's colder than 20 below.

Does it work in summer when you leave an air conditioned store and get steamed up in humidity? :rofl:
