it's days like today that remind me why Winnipeg is so often referred to as Winterpeg. It is currently -27 Celcius with a windchill that drops the temperature down to -45. Most of you have probably never dealt with a windchill, but basically, it's like the opposite of a humidex rating. And to give some of you southerners some perspective, when you convert -45 celcius to fahrenheit, it's welll..... about -45. THAT'S quacking COLD!!! Usually we don't get any weather like this until January or February, and even then it usually doesn't get this cold during the day. Now here's the real kicker. They weather stations are predicting that this should last for another week.
And like the stupid hoser I am, I'm taking this day as an opportunity to spend the next couple of hours outside playing hockey. Hey, at least the rinks will be pretty empty today!
So if you pee outdoors in that weather does it freeze before it hits the ground? -17 F is my record, but I was in the mountains so it felt colder than it was, all the mice came out and warmed themselves around the fire that night.

Well lets just put it this way. If you can find your penis in this weather, that's an accomplishment all in itself.
I was unlucky enough to be in Minneapolis the day they closed every school in THE STATE OF MINN for weather...COOOOLD weather!! They were afraid of the kiddies getting frostbite waiting on the school buses! I think it hit between -60 and -80-F windchill included in parts of Minn at that time. All I know is all us Alabama peeps were FREEZING!! It literally HURT to stand out in it for more than 10 seconds....I will never forget....we got delayed on the runway leaving for de-icing....it's about a 3 hour flight or so from Minn to HSV....I got in about 10 pm one night and didn't unpack till around 9 am the next morning...when I moved my suitcase I noticed the floor was still cold where it was sitting...12 hours later! And...some of my makeup and tolitries were STILL FROZEN SOLID!! THAT'S as cold as I EVER want to be!
And yes...we DO have windchill in the south...it's just usually not as severe as parts north of here!

I was dog sledding in the Boundry Waters area in December 1993. We we winter camping and it was -23 degrees one night. The next night it was -40 degrees and while we were at the VFW we got free drinks.
We got a vehicle stuck and while standing there, my pants froze. Never happened before, not do I want to be out when it is that cold.
And when it is that cold, peeing is not the problem while winter camping - it is #2 that is a problem. Crapping in the super cold snowy forest is NOOOO fun. The outhouse at the lodge had foam pads for the seat made from camping sleeping pads, they were very effective.
the cold air coming in the exhaust duct of my dryer froze my clothes
Whatever, I may complain now, but come July when it's hot out and the sun is up from 5am to 10pm, I'll somehow convince myself this cold is worth suffering through. There's nothing I love more than a long prairie summer day. It makes for great BBQs.

I can't imagine trying to deal with this type of weather when you aren't used to it. Although it's uncomfortable, when you live in Winnipeg, it's expected. You really do build a tolerance to it. I pity the Australian family that is moving in down the street in January. They'll be in for quite the shock.
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
Though the forecast is for us to hit 68 tomorrow...I'm not convinced. It was WINDY as heck today and cold! Can't see it near 70 tomorrow...the dropping again...which means severe weather again! sigh...
it -15 with a wind chill of -36 here now in denver ..... burrrr, not the coldest i have been in, but after a point, it is just friggin cold .... cr****

Im the bordering city of Duluth MN and its been a blizzard here for 2 days straight, the low for the night is -20F then a foot of snow on top of that from today, I cant wait for June
I saw snow for the first time in my life earlier this week. That shit is cold.
I found out that it's really hard to make a snowman without gloves on. That snow is cold. I don't own gloves, I live in South Louisiana, it don't get that cold around here.........
yeah that was a freaky thing all that snow was south of us in jackson i had a little sleet at the house and meg swears she had snow falling at her office i think it was a figment of her imagination

Anything below 70 degrees is chilly and anything below 50 degrees is FREEZING to me. I seriously don't think I could survive in a cold climate. The current weather is cold enough for a southern girl!
are you guys telling me you don't want to wake up every morning for 6 months, look out your window and see this?
We haven't even had a blizzard yet this winter. There'll be at least one day where the snow will stop and it'll be over my car's bumper. Two years ago, we had nasty blizzard that spanned Dec 30 and 31. Needless to say, that made New Years Eve a little interesting. I believe we called for a cab at about 2:30 or 3am and got one around 6.

Well it ain't cold here... it's currently 65 degrees in Central Park and an hour ago it was 67 ... we've smashed the previous record of 63 here today... it's normally in the low 40's/high 30's this time of year
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished With the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics Articulate but still would grab a ni**a by the colla quick

I'm with you on that. It's amazing what a wuss I've become since moving to Florida. I lived in northern Vermont when I was a little kid. I used to get bundled up like Randy in A Christmas Story to go to school. I really don't think I could handle that kind of weather now.
I remember January 1985 when we had our all time record cold down here. I was in Knoxville and working for the County shoveling driveways. The temp was -23 F and wind chill of -53 (-31C and -47C respectively. I like cold but that's ridiculous. That was one cold winter for TN.
Earlier that same winter I was living in an old house in Oak Ridge. These houses were built during WW2 for the people building the atomic bombs and were not meant to be permanent so they had no heat so the pipes froze. The pipe ran thru the ceiling so when they thawed the water ran down the walls shorting out the electricity. I had no lights and had to keep beer in the refrigerator so it wouldn't freeze. My shampoo and toothpaste froze though. My living room was also a skating rink. That's when I moved to Knoxville.
Those winter in 83-85 were the only times I remember getting below zero for any length of time this far south
well i don't think i could survive that cold i'll take my low in the morning of 57 degrees... high for tomorrow of 75 degrees
Yeah....it was about 75 yesterday and so hot in our house I had all the fans on all day & night and even the AC for about an hour....then I wake up today to this crap. Tonight and tomorrow are supposed to be icy but that's cool with me b/c they usually close the schools and that means the library where I work will close

I was out and abut (speaking like a Canadian) today. I am in southern Colorado, but the city probably doesn't do any better here with the streets than do down in the South. I mean really, every busy street is ice packed, it is as if they don't know how to plow or throw sand on the streets. Maybe they get confused about the 'southern' part.
Hey, Look what I figured out how to add to a post!
We'll see if it stays current or only shows the temp as it was right now. Not nearly as cold as many places, but giving my furnace something to do.

Don't worry, you're not alone. For a city that sees a ton of snow every year, Winnipeg does a terrible job of clearing the streets. They tend to let it build up until they bring out the plows. Then when they do plow, their planning is just stupid. My back alley has been plowed twice this winter but my actual street hasn't been touched. I can sort of understand their point of view, as it costs the city a couple of hundred-thousand bucks to clear enough snow for people to get their cars out, but somewhere between 1 and 2 million dollars for a regular clearing of all city streets and around 5 million if there is a really bad storm. But still, they could do something to make things a little more efficient.
Whatever, at least we're not sissies like Toronto who call in the military to help them during blizzards
