"....to -3C as Britain faces a weekend of freezing fog and ice."

...plummet my @rse.

It really is pathetic when you think about it that temps of -3 c (and then it is only in northern Scotland and highland areas) and the country goes into panic mode.

Relative my dears..........................

and dont forget its a damp cold

...and the -30°C to -35°C forecast for Edmonton in the next few days is a DRY cold.

so whats the problem, shorts weather that is.

Southern based media, whilst being very visible in the country, is not actually THE country....

......ask any northern / scottish hill dweller if they panic at -3 and I would put money on a different answer...

now when I lived darn sarf, that was another matter

-3c in damp Vancouver feels far colder than -20c here in dry Kamloops.

Its too ******** cold here.

We've got a weather warning for -50C windchill today.

Before you went to Canada, you would have agreed and felt bloody cold. It is only with hindsight and experience that it does not.

It is, indeed, all relative.

It is really foggy here, can't remember the last time it was this bad, and everything is white because it's frozen. Hope we get snow soon

Wrapped up its fine here in the UK its very damp, give us some snow and we can really have something to panic about
