Thread: Its going to -52 tonight

My Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's brisk baby!

One of my friends worked in Montana during a winter....he said it was just horrible. "Once you step outside it's so cold your nose starts running and it immediately starts freezing", that's what he told me

I got a block heater, a battery pad and an antifreeze circulation unit tied into one harness for normal winters but this is getting up at 2 or 3 a.m. to start the car brisky.

Temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius with a wind chill - colder than the surface of Mars - plunged the western Prairies region into a deep freeze, heightening risks of frostbite and hypothermia.

Toronto, Montreal and the capital Ottawa braced for a flash freeze with temperatures forecast to drop as much as 40 degrees in less than 24 hours, after locals awoke to unusually warm temperatures (above freezing) and rain.

Environment Canada warned of "treacherous" travelling conditions.

"Extreme caution is advised for people heading outdoors," the government agency said. "Exposed skin may freeze in less than five minutes."

One in ten flights from Toronto's international airport were cancelled. And hundreds of car accidents in central Ontario and Quebec provinces were blamed on slick roads and fierce winds.

This comes after Toronto area residents continue to recover from an ice storm that left 300 000 hydro customers in the dark over the Christmas holidays.

More than 30 000 residents of the Atlantic island province of Newfoundland meanwhile were still without power after a blizzard knocked out electricity last week. At its peak, the blackout covered the entire island, affecting nearly 200 000 residents.


Fuck that

56 is the lowest it gets around here and I'm talking on the plus side... Can't even imagine what it's like going that low...

How do you stay warm? Have they invented fire yet?

We have -2 here at the moment, we are wimps in comparison to you lot in Alaska.

Just watched the noon news and local weather. Our neighbors to the North, always generous with their Arctic air masses are sharing once again. This time, it is sliding down the east side of the Continental Divide, where it will be well below zero (-10 through -15F) tonight. I am west of the Divide by about three miles where it will be 30-40 degrees warmer.

Jesus what a hell hole. I thought Newfoundland was bad.

Yukon but close enough

Be sure to wear a hat.

Stick a Geordie in those conditions and he'll still walk down the pub in nothing more than skinny jeans and a moody Ralph Lauren polo.

Wow that is insane cant imagine it! God here we are due to be in the +30s the next few days if i came to you instantly or you to me instantly we would probably not survive without major help. The difference is nearly incomprehensible. I dont know how you can function so low
