It is so fucking cold outside. And it's not like it was a gradual step down to fucking frostbiteville. No it went from a nice balmy 40º+ to this in about 24 hours. So, fuck you Canadians and your cold air! |

Bah. Buck up, ya wus.
I'm with Alcimedes: it was 3 degrees here the last couple nights, and probably 12 or 15 below with the wind-chill. Time to throw the blades in the back of the car and a few pucks so I can hit the rink after work. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

It's was -35 yesterday. Perfect Canadian weather. My girlfriend and I enjoyed it so much we're thinking about moving north in a year or so. Like way north....above the timber line. Man I love winter.

I had to change my tire in -13 degree weather the other day, that tire iron was cold. But on the plus side the tire was fine it just magically deflated.......

Heh. Here in NC, we had a record low high yesterday. Something in the 20s.
Of course, just my luck, practically the entire state got a little snow except for a 20-mile radius around Raleigh! The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

-42 C (-44 F). Painful – even dangerous – for the face and the extremities. What I like is a nice steady ‘mild’ chill. If we could have a high day temperature of -5 C (23 F) and a low night temperature of -15 C (5 F) all winter long I would be pleased. That way the snow stays nice and soft for skiing and the ice on the canal stays nice and hard for skating. Instead, however, we tend to have these wild temperature swings. After the bone-numbing cold of the last couple of days, it is supposed to go above freezing on Thursday, with the possibility of sleet and freezing rain. I hate these weather swings worse than the extreme cold itself. When there's an eel in the lake that's as long as a snake that's a moray. Last edited by Chinney : 2004-12-21 at 10:01. |

Yah, I'll take 20F and snow over 40 and rain anyday. Winter isn't nearly as bad as the end of Fall and early Spring IMO. I can't stand cold and rain. Either it's cold enough to freeze the pond for several weeks on end, or it's warm enough to wear short sleaves. Anything in between, and there had better be sun or I'm inside all day.

It's 4 degrees. I don't mind cold sometimes, I really don't like it though when it's very cold and there's a strong wind, that's just miserable.

Yah it's the wind that'll break your will I find. I can handle being outside in temperatures around zero without much discomfort but when the wind howls that's a PITA generally. Can't even skate good because sooner or later you have to skate back into the wind and let me tell you, that's no fun in frigid weather.

However, the temperatures you describe seem wonderful, if only for the snow. I am coming up to Collingwood, Ontario on Sunday, just for skiing. Mmmmmm, then off to Park City, Utah, for ... more skiing. Lovely winter it will be! User formally known as Sh0eWax |

Yeah the wind is bad on my campus too, especially when it blows freezing pellets of ice or snow into your face while you're trying to walk. That's when we usually end up running from building to building, assuming we don't slip and fall in the process.

Hahah, I use to live in Riverside, California as a kid. Whenever we were there, it was sooo easy to go outside and play, because there wasn't any real "direct" sunlight in my eyes. I moved here to Wisconsin, and in the summers I have to wear sunglasses cause there is so little pollution out. Its both lovely, and I get sunburn a lot more easily. Smog was nice

I have to say I enjoy the Minnesota chill, it gives me a chance to use the "Big" coat and it gets all the nasty dampness out of the air. Seriously though, I'm a big fan a skiing. I love snow, the more the better.
The future is tomorrow! |

I like making snowmen! But the past couple years we've only had "bad" snow that was hard or icy or dry and powerdery. No good for snowmen
