Helllllllllllllllo Winter! ( Edmonton )
 

Why can't there be snow days for adults!

What a day to find out my wifes block heater doesn't work!

Ouch!
 

That can't be good news..take out a block real quick.:cry:

Brrrr. I like wind, just not in January.

Stay warm everyone.

Oh and my heart goes out to those folks in Vancouver being victimized by this foul weather. I heard it was MINUS SEVEN! :eek: Oh the humanity! Hang in there everyone!!!!!

Minus seven? I wish it was that warm here. It's minus 31 right now.

This is one of the reasons I do not live in Regina or Winnipeg.. I can handle a couple days like this... but a full winter of -30.. no thanks :p

Yeah, sorry, I was kidding around. I was implying that -7 feels downright tropical compared to what I felt this morning trying to dig my house out from the snowdrifts. It was -31 this morning on my thermometer and the wind was howling - the windchill was -53 or something insane. I'm sure it's even colder in other places too!

... to be fair, I'm pretty sure -7 would be pretty much pandemonium and chaos in a place like Vancouver.

It's the threat of snow that does that :razz: . The cold just makes people whine and complain a lot :lol:

Bah! As if Winterpeg is warmer than Calgary right now! :neutral: The injustice of that! My family is nice and warm there and I'm cold here. :cry:

I should have seriously called in sick today... walking 5 blocks from the c-train downtown was just retardedly cold... I thought my ears were going to fall off.

Ez. Wear more layers.

It's nearly -40 in CGY and I'm glad I have a high affinity to temperatures.

Minus 50 C with the windchill here. Betcha the cattle are chilly!!!!!! They've been fed but they just peaked out of the shed and said #@$% you!!!!

Throw another log on the fire and stay warm.

Feels Like: -48

:sad:

Yours stuck their head out? My wife made me feed the horses IN the run-in. They are eyeballing the barn trying to figure out how to get in with all the grain. Discovered the well froze this morning when I ran out of water halfway through my shower. NOT a happy camper

Well hasn't froze off yet waiting for that to happen, should be sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. Pretty bad when you know roughly when your well will freeze up.

Other than having to feed livestock when it is this cold I envy you country guys. I hate living in the city.

My family roots are ranching in the crowsnest pass and I wish my grandpa had never sold the ranch as I would love to live on the land :(

Today would of been a great day for a snow day! But alas I had to go to work

It was -46 with the wind chill here. I think the only school open was mine:cry: West Edmonton Christian School:lol:

wow...just looked at the weather for tomorrow.....-37 till tomorrow at noon....thats without the windchill!!!!

-62 with windchill here

I am no longer making snarky comments about how people with electric blankets are wusses....can I have an electric blanket now?

Well, Victoria hit -4 today, and we even got almost an inch of snow!!

oh no, not -4!!! lol. Had to feed horses this morning in -34 at 3:30 am then haed to work.. in a mountain mine claim. lets just say at - 55 bare skin will get frost bite in two and a half minutes. been like that for two days and supposed to be that way tommorow as well. when its that cold no equipment runs proper, gotta spend the whole twelve hours repairing stuff. not complaining though, it really makes you appreciate the summer. i feel for the boys in the oil patch though!!

apperantly cold also makes your spelling ability go down the shi#$%!!

AH, This is the stuff I live for! No complaining here. Think of it this way, this is how winter used to be for three or four months straight! No seriously though I am arctic through and through and I just love that not only can I survive this I actually kind of enjoy it.

This morning managed to pry my car door open, and the car finally started, only to get to work and have a snow day called half an hour later.

we have a much better plan tomorrow morn... everyone call the boss at 6:15 if its below -30 and nobody goes in.

snow day
 

woot when the mail box on the phone at work is full that tells me im not the only one who thinks it's to dam cold to work :)

Think a guy ought to be worried about this? I mean .. it's going to start to thaw out sooner or later. :neutral:

I love reading threads like this...then when I feel sorry for myself because I have to scrape the windows, and get our daughter to shovel the 5 or 6 inches of snow off the driveway...I can think of all of you and realize I have it pretty good!:lol: I feel for ya!

Not related to anything in particular, but had to share this "booooo" moment. Reefcentral went down on me while I was in the middle of reading 2 threads. And someone replied to one I had just posted on and I just pressed "Refresh" and poof, gone. I've been sitting here for 1/2 hour pressing refresh every few seconds. I'm starting to get sleepy! Darn it, I want to hit the sack!! But I keep thinking "this might be the minute that RC resets itself."

Boo, boo, booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. :lol:

Thanks! We have twin girls and I wonder sometimes if we'll even make it through the teen years without strangling them!:wink: And it's only just beginning! :biggrin:
