Only -8f (-22c) here but wind chill is same as yours. EdHewitt is complaining about it being very hot and muggy in Perth. Will trade gladly.

I feel the struggle guys. I am freezing here. The low today is only 46F and the high is 70F with clear skies and bright sun. I might have to wear a hoodie today!!!!!

Bobs practically at the North pole in Thunder bay. Bet the snowmobiling and ice fishing is terrific there.

-26c with the wind chill here today. It's a beautiful day though, suns out and I'm heading to the parents for coffee and Baileys!!!!!

Is 40 degs in my shop right now,am wearing my silk t-shirt, fur hat,polar Fleese top and bottom,wool socks and my Uggs and I am freezing.
Do not know how you Guys can stand that cold weather.

I typically wear a lot of wool.

-9f at my house right not. Not sure what the wind chill is, but it is COLD! But it is not going to get in the way of a trip to Tim Hortons!!!

I hate winter, (I'd rather sweat than freeze), but right now in Walla Walla it's only 38 and it feels like it's 38 and it's supposed to be sunny and up to 55 which is a heat wave.

While I've never heard Any of my Canadian Brothers complain about the cold, I hope they all will enjoy this;

The Washington Post

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen , Norway .

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

I must apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 93 years ago.

Well, not really near the North Pole but our winters here are more like what Winterpeg and Regina get but with less snow usually than southern Ontario. Snowmobiling is OK but not as good as it was 2 or 3 decades ago. Never did know what to do with all that ice I caught ice fishing.

The bright spot is a trip to Tims this aft for coffee and conversation which unfortunately does not include any Baileys. Only another month or so before it starts really warming up.
