I'm jealous. I want snow here! It's cold, so I am happy, but it's raining. I can't wait for the first snow fall of the season!

you know it's bad when it gets to the point of being so cold that a remote car starter won't work. i can't plug my car in, and it just seems silly that i can start my car with my key just fine, but the remote won't work when i need it the most

-42 tonight in Edmonton (with WC). Hopefully Pronger is as stupid as he looks and tries to lick a flagpole on the way to the game.

Believe it or not, but I was at an outdoor wedding near Canmore this weekend. Nobody got frost bite oddly enough, but the pastor's jaw almost froze up. I can guarantee this was a wedding that no one present will ever forget. It acutally wasn't that bad if you were dressed properly, which I was.

we got it at around -8 or -9 here in Vancouver and I never remember it being like this. I cant believe how cold it is. I can only imagine how you guys have it.
On the plus side, the boil water advisory has finally been lifted, that was a pain in the ass. Brushin your teeth with a bottle of Dasani is a pain in the ass.

The arctic deep freeze trapping Calgary is on track to break a 110-year-old weather record today, but the bitter cold is expected to ease in the coming days. |
Surely the next ice age is just around the corner. Take that global warming!
We get our first blast of winter tomorrow. As someone who spends up tp 8 hours a day in it earning a living......yay!

You jackasses.... "global warming" is only part of climate change as a whole. So, maybe the reason why the winter is getting soooo freaking cold is because of climate change?

I'd take that trade. I would gladly go to Calgary or just out West and partake in the snowy and cold weather. I would take that over rain everyday of the week and twice on Sundays!! My husky feels the same way, wants snow really bad.

The only real problem I have with this weather right now is that the ice on the roads is better than the ice in the Honda Center.
And, fwiw, a picture I took of the TV a couple years ago while up near High Level. This is balmy by comparison. The wind chill (when it picked up) got around -60, iirc.
