And when it snows the entire town shuts down, due to how windey the roads are. We had a deep, sharp driveway and even a tow-truck refused to get my car out. It's completely different out there.
...though the absolute worst I felt out in Nanaimo pales in comparison to what we're going through here right now. -39 as a low tonight here in Edmonton(and thats excluding wind chill), the all-time record low is only a degree less, back in 1886. I've got my car in the garage and plugged in, good times...

One of those "uphill both ways" posts...I lived Mackenzie, BC for 4-some odd years and the coldest I experienced was -48 with no wind. Needless to say, not too much was moving. I don't miss it one bit.
