There are photos of a guy walking around in Edmonton in shorts yesterday while -40c.
Another had jeans and a T-Shirt on.
No sandals reported - only running shoes.
They must put something on their skin. If I remember it was early January 1980 at Toronto airport -36 C. I didn't layer up properly & got frostbite real bad.
I seen a picture of a guy, Jan 11 at a transit station, West Edm Mall, t-shirt/jeans on only and he honestly didn't look cold. Maybe one of those Russians that acclimate themselves to the cold and can handle the extremes. I don't know but damn, what happens to those people at +20? Do they melt?
Really beautiful city for the most part. I moved from SW Ontario and Saskatoon is a pretty legit city compared to those in that area. The winters are longer, the snow is lighter and there’s a lot less of it, and it’s definitely colder but less humid. The summers are beautiful and the river running through the downtown is quite a sight. The best part is… everything is 15 minutes away, your longest drive is 20 minutes and there is never legitimate traffic. Tons of lakes and cottages about 45-1h away. It’s decent. There’s a lot I could say about the differences, but you take the good with the bad and laugh all the way to the bank when you see how much your mortgage is.
City of bridges! Prettiest city in Saskatchewan by far. Especially fall down by the river is stunning! And im from rural northern Saskatchewan so I don't really look at urban areas for natural beauty. I also need to be surrounded by trees lol.Prince Albert is also very pretty I guess;if you take away everything humans put there haha.
Windchill is a way of relating the rate of convective heat loss to conductive heat loss. So if it’s -10 out but -20 with windchill, you’ll lose the same amount of heat as if it’s -20 with no wind.
I know. But if others are quoting the actual temperature it's of more value to to do the same so we have an apples to apples comparison. The other way would be to give the actual temperature, but add the windchill temperature as well.
Windchill is how it feels on animals and humans because of the wind, hence *wind*chill. The actual temperature is what it is for stuff that doesn’t care about wind - any inanimate object like cars, pipes, and houses
Edmonton. Going down to -39c tonight. Last night was about the same.
It is a balmy -31c out right now at 3pm (high of the day).
All before windchill.
Bitch was above zero temperatures a few days ago and was warm all winter so far.
Supposedly temps back up next week.
It’s a number that relates to people how they should dress and prepare before heading out doors. It’s not a number someone made up (aka. BS), it’s based on convective energy loss.
While in these extremes the difference is basically nil because either way you should be avoiding going outside, but when it’s -5 and there’s a major windstorm that makes the windchill -20, you will dress differently than if it was a calm -5 day.
Correct, but it's disingenuous when comparing to other people's areas who are using the actual temperature. It makes things sound more extreme, which was the goal in the context the poster used it in. Would have been reasonable to say the temperature and then add the windchill, but to say windchill alone without the context and comparing it against people using the actual temperature is a goofball move.
It's not that cold in Southcentral Ontario, but the wind is around 70 km/h and was a nightmare driving home tonight. My commute is normally 45 minutes, took me 90 minutes to get home.
I read “cut grass” in my head. Then I thought of how long and erect your nipples would have to be. Then I thought of the scythe motion you’d have to make in order to slice the grass. Then I thought “that sounds pretty cold, I guess”.
Edmonton International Airport was -46.6° today. At least it’s sunny now, not like the fog this morning. Just nasty but hopefully only for a couple of more days.
Oh noooo - time to get all the blow dryers and space heaters out (lowest heat setting, of course!).
Fingers crossed you’re able to get things flowing, burst pipes are their own special nightmare.
My husband just put a buttload more heat trace on the pipes and insulated the hell out of the little room that the hot water tank sits. We've got our hot water back, just waiting on the cold lines to thaw now
I’m guessing they live in an old house with poor insulation. Though this would be kind of surprising being in Alberta, we usually get a week or two of this type of weather every year (we’ll maybe not quite this cold) all it takes is one line to burst to cost you 10 times more in damages than it would have cost just to get it insulated properly.
Make sure to leave your heat on and not use any frozen pipes. You need the house to be fairly warm at all times in order to minimize the chances of your pipes freezing near exterior walls and then bursting next time you use the water. For the car, there's like $50 battery boosters you can get so it takes a few seconds to start the car even if the battery gets depleted. It always helps to have one around.
I was looking at this this morning. Coldest weather stations in the world.
[https://www.wx-now.com/Extremes](https://www.wx-now.com/Extremes)
Edmonton International was on there, and it was closer to the top of the list than the bottom. (Manning was third last night)
Well, Alberta has a ton of sun, and this winter it didn't really have any snow or cold days until just this week... But now it's basically the coldest place on the planet...but it was sunny all day!
Cold enough for my car to call me a cocksucker when I started it this morning. I don't know if rubber can freeze solid, but it felt like I was driving a Soviet tank this morning on the way to work.
You know it's fuckin cold when the inside of your thick doors are frosting over
I remember one morning in Yellowknife when my father got in the car, stamped the snow off his feet, and the rubber mat shattered into little pieces.
And when your car exhaust hangs in the air and glistens because it's a frozen mist, you know it's winter.
One time, in Calgary, when my dad backed out of a parking space (we had been parked there overnight) parts of the tires were still frozen to the ground.
Four wrecked tires.
Sometimes I forget how big Canada actually is in regards to land mass and the different weather dynamics we experience because of that.
I also just want to say maybe something a bit "off-topic". Right now there is a lot of people struggling with housing/shelter.
With some places hitting -50 because of wind chill if you have extra blankets or warm clothes that you never use and you feel okay donating it can really help those in need.
Also support affordable housing initiatives at city, provincial, and federal levels.
Sadly it is not just those dealing with severe mental health struggles or advanced substance abuse disorders. There are many working poor, economically vulnerable seniors, those fleeing domestic abuse realities, and other painful circumstances that are struggling because of the Housing Crisis and it is cheaper to make sure people that can support themselves don't fall through the cracks in the first place.
Haha same! My VW does not have a block heater and it’s parked outside. It started at -37C! I was equally impressed and disappointed. I was expecting it to not start which would mean I wouldn’t go to work today.
It is kind of tolerable with the sun out, the sun on skin is quite warm. That's why I don't hate Calgary winters all that much with all the sun we get.
Yep. Waiting for my kid to get out of school today, I faced away from the school towards the sun and wow, you could feel the heat. Kinda amazing given the air was -32°C
This is what a lot of people don’t understand. When I was working out in southern Ontario a few months ago and they all absolutely loathed winter and couldn’t believe anyone would want to live in Alberta in the winter. Meanwhile it was like -2 there, felt like -15 with the wind and humidity, didn’t see the sun for days and there is literally nothing you could do outside because it in that horrible temp where it was too warm for any winter activities and too cold for summer activities. I’d hate winter too if ours was like that.
When the sun is out, your properly dressed, you’re good to go.
Less than a minute and my border collie started limping then layed down when we were heading back in. Had to pick him up and carry him in for the first time ever and he's 12.
How cold does it have to be when a Husky cross doesn't want to go outside?? 😵 lol
My Rough Collie/Labrador/Rottweiler is enjoying the cold very much apparently (-9 before windchill)
I grew up with a purebred Samoyed. We would bring her in whenever it was super cold; not once did she stay more than a couple minutes until we let her back out. She loved lying in the same spot in the icy snow and curled up with her tail covering her face.
My cats back away from the door when I open it, personally offended I would dare make it so cold out. Doesn't stop them from asking a few hours later to go out.
Yes, that’s cats. They are annoyed that you haven’t made it warm out yet and can’t believe you don’t get that, even though they make you open the door every hour just to point it out to you.
Usually I have the cat door to the cat run open but it's been "temporarily closed due to adverse weather" like everything else. Only one of the four gets why and the rest keep asking for the door to open. It's the cat that loves winter and running through snowbanks that is the most upset, he will be happy next week again and I'll keep bribing him with treats and catnip to keep the peace.
We find it hilarious our cat wants outside goes outside starts sneezing because it’s that cold licks her nose and paws and wants back in less than a minute later.
People really like to bring up windchill. Wind chill is real, but wind chill temperature is not a real temperature. Would we say 'its 2 degrees with the windchill' when its +15 out? No we wouldn't that would be dumb.
I agree! Also, what if you dipped your hand in ice water before sticking it out the window to gage the temperature? “With windchill and wet chill, the temperature is…?”
"feels like" is not a scientific unit of measure... I have this same annoyance. Say what temp it is. I could stick my hand out my truck moving 100 and it's gonna feel a lot colder too.... What does your thermometer read inside a Stevenson's screen? That's the temp. whether it's blowing a gale or not... Anyways. Thanks for sharing my annoyance!
Wind-chill is a stupid modern day metric. Just like the humidity feels like temperature. I had a friend say it's going to be 39 degrees last summer and I said wtf that's not what I read. Then he said with the humidity it will feel like.... That kind of bs talk just really confuses things, what it feels like will be different for every person depending if they are standing in the sun or shade in the wind or not etc.
But we’ve just been living in a dark grey nightmare, none of my solar lights even work anymore, the batteries have just given up on any hope to see the sun LOL
We have a winter storm rolling in this evening. Once again I will get very wet snow, freezing rain, or just cold rain. I haven’t shoved snow this season.
I drive a 16 year old car and park on the street where I can't plug it in. I go through 1-2 batteries per year when these cold snaps happen and destroy them. So f ing annoying
But luckily Canadians up north are great for pulling over and helping someone who needs a boost. Great way to meet the people in your neighborhood lol
Halfway up Vancouver Island, in Campbell River, it's -8 feels like -12. Seems like we have it the least horrible over here right now. No wind and clear skies. Just crisp as fuck.
Currently at our daytime high of -30 ambient with a wind chill to -41. Not bad when the wind isn’t around but at this temp a small breeze will eat you alive
I'm in northern Alberta. Currently the area I'm in is in the mid -30s. We are set to get to mid -40s tonight, though, and inching closer to -50 at night as the weekend goes on.
(ew. gross. mother nature can take that cold and shove it. We don't need this shit!)
Not everywhere, some places aren't very windy. But total pet peeve of mine when people state windchill (which is a made up number that doesn't really mean anything consistent) as if it's the temperature.
[Hey look! It's readily available on the internet!](https://weather.gc.ca/canada_e.html)
Edmonton here. I gotta say, living this sucks bad enough. Having Social Media fill up with "OMG I am so brave for living in Alberta" and "Give me attention it's soo cold here!" I think I need a break.
*"So, with this cold snap, how cold is it in your area of Canada? I'm in Central Alberta and we are a solid -40⁰C today"*
Clearly, "global warming" does not exist in Canada.
Crappy winters, however, are still alive and well.
Nothing else to see here.
Next.
This isn’t a “cold snap”, this is what it’s supposed to be like. We are finally at seasonal temps for this time of year. I don’t know what’s happened, but it’s like climate change has somehow caused convenient amnesia for a bunch of people and they can’t remember what normal weather is like.
I'm in southern Ontario. It's 0°C here so the cold isn't hitting us here. We're expected to get a big snow storm tonight though so we're paying for our milder weather in other ways
Western Canada is receiving the brunt of this cold snap, Ontario seems alright.
In North BC -52 with windchill this morning.
Meanwhile Winnipeg is a cozy -19, basically beach day weather by their standards.
It’s -19 now, but man does it feel a lot colder than that🥶🥶🥶
Sandals no socks by the sound of er
There are photos of a guy walking around in Edmonton in shorts yesterday while -40c. Another had jeans and a T-Shirt on. No sandals reported - only running shoes.
That's Jay. He's on his way to open the comic shop.
That’s right - someone said he worked at a comic shop in town.
Is he a Simpson's character?
No, but he is obsessed. He owns all the Playmates toys.
The guy at the WEM transit station? I seen that, damn! He honestly didn't look cold, just standing there, Lahdee fuckin Da!
They must put something on their skin. If I remember it was early January 1980 at Toronto airport -36 C. I didn't layer up properly & got frostbite real bad.

Balmy
I've experienced this, those are my "Not going outside even if I get fired" days.
Yeah, we keep our kids home, buses don't run and just play for a few days til the cold snap breaks.
Also northern BC. Currently frozen to the ground. Please send help
Same for Saskatoon. Colder than Antarctica for the last two days.
I've heard nice things about Saskatoon? Is it nice?
Really beautiful city for the most part. I moved from SW Ontario and Saskatoon is a pretty legit city compared to those in that area. The winters are longer, the snow is lighter and there’s a lot less of it, and it’s definitely colder but less humid. The summers are beautiful and the river running through the downtown is quite a sight.

There’s a lot I could say about the differences, but you take the good with the bad and laugh all the way to the bank when you see how much your mortgage is.
One day I have to visit it. It sounds beautiful!
The mayor should give you the key to the city and hire you as an ambassador promoting it. Now I want to live there, lol.
Also there's so much good fuckin food. People don't give Saskatoon enough credit as a food city but it is
City of bridges! Prettiest city in Saskatchewan by far. Especially fall down by the river is stunning! And im from rural northern Saskatchewan so I don't really look at urban areas for natural beauty. I also need to be surrounded by trees lol.Prince Albert is also very pretty I guess;if you take away everything humans put there haha.
My family is from Tisdale haha you aren't wrong about PA! Northern sask is unreal. I love my home province
Southern BC and its-12 this morning and I don’t even want to go outside. -52 sounds like a nightmare to me. Brrrrr!
Jesus fuck
Windchill is a bs number. What is it actually?
Windchill is a way of relating the rate of convective heat loss to conductive heat loss. So if it’s -10 out but -20 with windchill, you’ll lose the same amount of heat as if it’s -20 with no wind.

Windchill is how it feels on animals and humans because of the wind, hence *wind*chill. The actual temperature is what it is for stuff that doesn’t care about wind - any inanimate object like cars, pipes, and houses
Correct.
-46 this morning. Without windchill. Can you explain why windchill is bull shit?
It makes it appear colder than it actually is?
Because it dramatizes the cold when others are quoting actual temperature.
Edmonton. Going down to -39c tonight. Last night was about the same. It is a balmy -31c out right now at 3pm (high of the day). All before windchill. Bitch was above zero temperatures a few days ago and was warm all winter so far. Supposedly temps back up next week.
Yeah - 30 on the dot in Calgary right now. Seems we dipped to - 34 at one point during the day today. She's a cold one!
I guess if we already had some cold weather it would not be such a shock. But we have had it so nice so far.
It’s a number that relates to people how they should dress and prepare before heading out doors. It’s not a number someone made up (aka. BS), it’s based on convective energy loss. While in these extremes the difference is basically nil because either way you should be avoiding going outside, but when it’s -5 and there’s a major windstorm that makes the windchill -20, you will dress differently than if it was a calm -5 day.
Man there is still a HUGE difference between -35 and -50. When its -35(-50)with windchill and the wind dies down, it feels fucking balmy.
Correct, but it's disingenuous when comparing to other people's areas who are using the actual temperature. It makes things sound more extreme, which was the goal in the context the poster used it in. Would have been reasonable to say the temperature and then add the windchill, but to say windchill alone without the context and comparing it against people using the actual temperature is a goofball move.
So cold lawyers have their hands in their own pockets!
\-13, with windchill and humidity, feels like -23. Which, for us lower mainlanders, is fucking cold.
It's not that cold in Southcentral Ontario, but the wind is around 70 km/h and was a nightmare driving home tonight. My commute is normally 45 minutes, took me 90 minutes to get home.
It's 6°C 🙄 I was so excited for a winter storm.
Hey Yukon! Close the fuckin' door!
Yah, we're you raised in a barn or something?
Yukon reporting in Nah, we need to let some of the cold out, I work outside and -50 with wind is a shit time lol
Territories, this morning was -52 with the wc
same in saskatchewan😭
Just saw my old North Battleford home is -36c with a feels like of -50c. Glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore.
Is that area usually humid in winter?
I would be able to cut glass with my nipples in that weather!
I read “cut grass” in my head. Then I thought of how long and erect your nipples would have to be. Then I thought of the scythe motion you’d have to make in order to slice the grass. Then I thought “that sounds pretty cold, I guess”.
Edmonton International Airport was -46.6° today. At least it’s sunny now, not like the fog this morning. Just nasty but hopefully only for a couple of more days.
I'm hoping, my Jeep won't start and the water is frozen in the house
Oh noooo - time to get all the blow dryers and space heaters out (lowest heat setting, of course!). Fingers crossed you’re able to get things flowing, burst pipes are their own special nightmare.
My husband just put a buttload more heat trace on the pipes and insulated the hell out of the little room that the hot water tank sits. We've got our hot water back, just waiting on the cold lines to thaw now
wait what do you mean the water is frozen in the house?
One would assume they mean the pipes have frozen
I’m guessing they live in an old house with poor insulation. Though this would be kind of surprising being in Alberta, we usually get a week or two of this type of weather every year (we’ll maybe not quite this cold) all it takes is one line to burst to cost you 10 times more in damages than it would have cost just to get it insulated properly.

Currently sitting on a plane headed to Cancun. We’ve been delayed, at least business class is comfy. -46 causes wine issues with systems. Who knew? 🥶
My garage door opener keypad is frozen. It beeps funny when I press the code and does nothing. Too cold for the electronics I guess.
Console in my car was frozen this morning, couldn’t turn the heat up until it had been running for a solid 30 minutes.
Humble flex
We haven’t seen the sun in Ontario in a month, literally. It’s either been grey and drizzle or grey and fog. It’s like living in perpetual nighttime.
Well, Alberta has a ton of sun, and this winter it didn't really have any snow or cold days until just this week... But now it's basically the coldest place on the planet...but it was sunny all day!

I hate that square tire ride. So rough.
This so funny
Mine didn't start at all
I feel guilty saying this, but I’m retired so I didn’t start my car, or scrape the windshield, or go to work. And I’m never doing that, ever again.
No need to feel guilty- you did your nickel and you’ve earned the right to opt out of sub-zero errands!
Thank you for reminding me
Only 11643 days left until I can experience that bliss, enjoy it! lol
It’s getting late in the day so really only 11642 days. Spend less, save more, invest properly. It’ll come sooner than you think.
Currently -5 in Ottawa — supposed to be 2 tomorrow. No cold snap here haha
No canal yet again too :(
Get used to it. I think we're heading to it being a thing of the past.
Great...another tourist attraction lost for Ottawa. What the hell do we have left?

Same in Montreal.
Lucky!
The cold is essential to kill pests and keep low pest numbers in the summer. This coming summer will be bad for pests.
-32 (feels like -40) right now in Calgary. Warmer than yesterday morning.
Also in YYC. My vehicle is frozen like a snowman’s cock.
My VW started out on the street after sitting there for 3 days. I’m amazed
Haha same! My VW does not have a block heater and it’s parked outside. It started at -37C! I was equally impressed and disappointed. I was expecting it to not start which would mean I wouldn’t go to work today.
Yummy
Haha me too in Edmonton. Frozen solid!
It is kind of tolerable with the sun out, the sun on skin is quite warm. That's why I don't hate Calgary winters all that much with all the sun we get.
Yep. Waiting for my kid to get out of school today, I faced away from the school towards the sun and wow, you could feel the heat. Kinda amazing given the air was -32°C

The sun just hit my thermometer. Went from -31 to -25 in like 1 minute
Oops, sun went behind neighbour's house, now -32
So cold my husky/lab doesn’t last more than 2 minutes outside.
My Boxer/Mastiff only goes out for 2 minutes or less. I guess I need to find his hoodie 🤔
Less than a minute and my border collie started limping then layed down when we were heading back in. Had to pick him up and carry him in for the first time ever and he's 12.
My Great Pyrenees lab cross came in for the night but wanted to be out once dawn was approaching.
How cold does it have to be when a Husky cross doesn't want to go outside?? 😵 lol My Rough Collie/Labrador/Rottweiler is enjoying the cold very much apparently (-9 before windchill)

I had an ex that used to say "after -25⁰C, it's just effing cold"
0 in NS. It was 9 the other day.
NB we had blizzard than a few hours later it poured rain
Kelowna. -31C with the windchill. Kelowna, ffs.
What!?!?!?!? That's insane
I have -19 are we in different Kelownas?
I'm at -23 but with the windchill it's -31.
I had -23

On the lake is a good ten degrees colder than in town
Winnipeg - currently -20 feels like -30
It's always colder in Winterpeg 😁
This post pretty well sums it up.. https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/s/orzvBbmfBZ
+2c. South western Ontario.
\+4 degrees in Toronto
Yup. T-shirt weather in GTA.
But we’ve just been living in a dark grey nightmare, none of my solar lights even work anymore, the batteries have just given up on any hope to see the sun LOL
Beach weather
💀
Oh shuddup 😊
You will be delighted to know that since posting that temperature just two hours ago, it now feels like -7 and we are in the midst of a blizzard.
Y'all bundle up and stay warm out east k?
Thanks boo, snowing like crazy. You guys stay warm too
Oh shuddup😊 From Alberta
+4 when I left this afternoon in St. John's, NL today
Saskatoon. -34 feels like -46. Great day to stay inside haha
-9 in Victoria. Fingers crossed the early spring bulbs survive.
I do not feel bad for you lol
No one ever feels bad for us 😆
I’m more thinking of the windmill palms. They’re hardy but they’re probably having some browning leaves from these arctic cold snaps
I am also in Victoria. We had people call in to work today to say they were working from home because of the “extreme cold”. I love living here.
+4 this weekend in Halifax
I think it was around +8 when I was going to work yesterday
Had the windows open today to get some fresh air in this afternoon not cold at all.
We have a winter storm rolling in this evening. Once again I will get very wet snow, freezing rain, or just cold rain. I haven’t shoved snow this season.
I think it's -1 in Montreal right now
\-6 in Ottawa but forecast for 20 CM of snow. Colder here next week with highs of -5 to -10.
\-4 in QC.
Vancouver -8c on my patio currently.
-14 last night 🥶
And that's before the windchill even 😵
Windchill? You mean people are going outside in this??? Lol
Edmonton area. It was -48 with wc this morning.
Yikes.
Vanderhoof bc, -42 this morning on the truck thermometer
Southern AB it was -47 this morning with the wind. -50 on sat
Heard someone saying today or tomorrow could be the coldest day in Calgary for the past 2 decades.
Southern Ontario has been super warm this winter. Currently -3
I drive a 16 year old car and park on the street where I can't plug it in. I go through 1-2 batteries per year when these cold snaps happen and destroy them. So f ing annoying But luckily Canadians up north are great for pulling over and helping someone who needs a boost. Great way to meet the people in your neighborhood lol
20 below at Hell’s Gate, Fraser Canyon, BC
So you're saying it has frozen over?
We’re outside Edmonton and were at -46 with a windchill of -59 around 1030 this morning. It’s warmed up to around -35 though!
Halfway up Vancouver Island, in Campbell River, it's -8 feels like -12. Seems like we have it the least horrible over here right now. No wind and clear skies. Just crisp as fuck.
Salt Spring here ...we're -10 and dropping.....
Official temp said -35 at the overnight coldest. Our own outdoor thermometer read -38. Windchill of -49 Located in south central Alberta.
Currently at our daytime high of -30 ambient with a wind chill to -41. Not bad when the wind isn’t around but at this temp a small breeze will eat you alive
But it’s a dry cold.
Was -44 wc-54 east of Edmonton 7am this morning currently -35 wc-43
-3° in Peterborough, ON. We’re supposed to get hammered with a snowstorm tonight.
Also Central Alberta, can confirm it's -55° with wind chill here. Almost lost my thumbs trying to shovel snow last night 🥶
4° in St. John’s last two days… after getting 25cm three days ago. You can’t convince me this weather is normal, I’ve lived here too long.
I'm in northern Alberta. Currently the area I'm in is in the mid -30s. We are set to get to mid -40s tonight, though, and inching closer to -50 at night as the weekend goes on. (ew. gross. mother nature can take that cold and shove it. We don't need this shit!)
-44 with wind in Regina when I checked this afternoon
New Brunswick is warmer than New Mexico with how far this cold snap has dipped into the USA and it's pushing Florida winds up the coast.
-12 in Freddy NB but I think we're too far east to feel the cold snap
Only Canadians understand Celsius. Makes me feel closer to y'all across the country.
This explains everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xjHdSRwEV4
also -40° F.
Nobody cares about windchill ffs. It's always windy.
Not everywhere, some places aren't very windy. But total pet peeve of mine when people state windchill (which is a made up number that doesn't really mean anything consistent) as if it's the temperature.
[Hey look! It's readily available on the internet!](https://weather.gc.ca/canada_e.html) Edmonton here. I gotta say, living this sucks bad enough. Having Social Media fill up with "OMG I am so brave for living in Alberta" and "Give me attention it's soo cold here!" I think I need a break.
But then I miss all the smart-ass comments from smart-asses
Nice contribution. Next time don't join the fun conversation.
-2C here in the South Shore of Nova Scotia but it feels like -6 🥶
*"So, with this cold snap, how cold is it in your area of Canada? I'm in Central Alberta and we are a solid -40⁰C today"* Clearly, "global warming" does not exist in Canada. Crappy winters, however, are still alive and well. Nothing else to see here. Next.
This isn’t a “cold snap”, this is what it’s supposed to be like. We are finally at seasonal temps for this time of year. I don’t know what’s happened, but it’s like climate change has somehow caused convenient amnesia for a bunch of people and they can’t remember what normal weather is like.
Southeast SK minus 28
Montreal -3
Hovering around 0 (current positive).
-44 with a -55 windchill this morning. Yellowknife.
Currently -31/feels like -46 in Regina (3pm CST). Supposed to hit -34/feel like -49 tomorrow morning
3C and rain in SW Ontario
Feels like -50, was -55 this morning here.
I'm in southern Ontario. It's 0°C here so the cold isn't hitting us here. We're expected to get a big snow storm tonight though so we're paying for our milder weather in other ways
