North Bay hardly goes below -30, but it can spend WEEKS hovering at that temperature. Thankfully we're near freezing today, so driving to work after lunch with the window down was pleasant :)

yeah today was such a great day I washed my car, and detailed the outside in the drive way, with a few neighbors looking at me like I was crazy in this nice +6c weather, even though the windchill is +1c at the moment.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

But once its past -30, it all feels that same, well you dont really feel anything, your numb.

I laugh at -20 through -30

Did you know it is -55 all the time above 30000 ft up to the friggin' stratosphere....so basically...from ground level to friggin dam near space it was the same temp...

going to work today, it was stoopid cold...

i had 2 sets of gloves on and my hands were stinging they were so cold.

The focus just barely started...it sounded like a wounded moose trying to turn over.

Well, look at the bright side, all you Sask'ers get an insurance rebate.

I guess there's benefits to living in a big, flat freezer. :lol:
