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! Oh the humanity! Hang in there everyone!!!!!

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

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 . The cold just makes people whine and complain a lot

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

Ez. Wear more layers.

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