:eek: :eek: OMG!!! -30 Celsius?! :eek: :eek: That's like...what...912 degrees below in Fahrenheit? One more reason not to move to Saskatchewan...
Not to brag, but it is 54 degrees Fahrenheit in my corner of Massachusetts right now. I just got back from a ride around the neighborhood a few minutes ago. The foot and a half of snow we got 5 days ago is almost completely melted away. Not bad for February! :D

59 thats pretty cold for down there. I remember one trip I took down there in January when it was in the low 60's I was running atround in a t shirt and shorts while everybody else was in their sweats moanin' about the weather.
^^^Yup, highs were in the mid 80s last weekend. Admittedly, that's a bit warmer than usual for this time of year.

You have my sympathy. We're getting it tonight - first below zero temps (°F) of the winter (which is rare, but led us into a false sense of security that we weren't gonna see it).

Ouch, -30C is pretty damn cold without the wind chill on top. It seems that this arctic front is moving SW. They're forecasting -8C tomorrow here in Portland which is colder than normal.

supposed to be -36 tonight. My car is really not happy with this. Just pushing in the clutch feels like im doing leg presses.
Plus, possibly the coldest day of the year, on my birthday :cry:
I was thinking of walking to all the pubs... not a chance anymore..

I think the walk home afterwards would be the iffy part. Imagine passing out in a snowbank, and not being found til spring.
Today = 83
Tomorrow = 40

its no joke over here, people have lost fingers/hands etc. from doing that. It happens a lot of small town folk. I wasnt going to get overly pissed or anything, just a few nice bday drinks with family/friends, but even the pubs a few blocks from my house arent walkable. Nostrils freeze together, eyelids freeze shut, this place sucks big time..

Wow, that is pretty cold. People around here are getting antsy because it's supposed to be 19 F tonight (like -7C, if my head is working right at the moment).
I was walking around outside in short sleaves thinking what a wonderful warm day it was, then I noticed the ice along the sidewalk...weird how perceptions work.

What a wimp! I used to live in Deadhorse, AK, and the temp you have is a fine spring day there! I also was a contract driver for BP, working on a gas pipeline in Siberia. Coldest I ever experienced there was -63F with a wind chill estimated at -192! Operations were definitely shot down that week! :eek:

Make sure you bring your mittens and wear a muffler. And lick any flagpoles you see.

is that a bit of a loosy goosey estimate? -192, you would need a wind speed of about 150mph at -63F to get that wind chill.
edit: it would actually have to be well over 200mph

It usually gets to -50 C in my hometown, but this winter sucks, so it's only like, -15 C. :(

actually, if my calculation is correct (which it probably isnt), the wind would have to be 860mph.
