-33C is cold enough for me.

Well, ya all know, there was a time in this fair land when L.K. worked out of Sudbury.

& up there L.K. learned about block heaters. I think I would plug in when it went to about 0'F or -14'C.

In winter of 77 the temperature only rose to -5'C about 5 times between Guy Fawkes Day and Feb. 28, 78. Now that winter, most nights, out where L.K. lived (30 mi. out of town) the lows were below -40 in real degrees, not wind chills.

But up there it was a dry cold, but given that L.K. had come there from a long sojurn in places humid, L.K. didn't mind humid days the way 'locals'did.

Iffen you want cold and damp, try Montreal or Ottawa.

Now, over here in Newfoundland, where L.K. is now, temps have been double digit '-'& wind chills around the -20'C mark. But I just know you all will think it poetic justice that L.K. caught a cold from being overdressed in the +1'C last Saturday.

Well L.K. I can't argue with you there. Seeing as I make the daily hike into Ottawa I can tell you that today was another in a long line of mornings where the thermometer in my Explorer read -16 to -22ºC on the way into work and the radio says the windchill is - 30 + (or would that be -?)
Still I'll take that easily rather than weather like we had last weekend! Nearly logged onto the Forum in order to book in at Brad's for the night! Returning home from 'The Big Smoke' (Toronto), we hit what they would call 'lake effect snow' round about Port Hope and for a while there thought I might be spending the night on the 401! Similar I suppose to those poor folks who got caught up in that mess with the fuel tanker!
Think I'll just count my blessings!

Have a great, cold Canadian winter day!

Hey Rich...I'm six miles north of 401 @Port Hope.It was sunny at my house all last weekend and didn't even realize it was Snowing there 'till I phoned my Mother who lives in town. Go figure..Eh!

The mess they had @ Cobourg was truly tragic, but ya know, EVERY year some one dies on that stretch of highway. I heard during a recent news cast.. the 401 is the busiest HY for truck traffic..IN THE WORLD!! Its understandable why so many accidents take place on this HY.

Well, its still very cool, downright COLD I mean. Winter took its time getting here, but when it did.....

US cities to the lea of the lakes Ontario and Erie are still getting pounded with snow. Oswego NY..."six feet" Buffalo.??...still snowing there.
Even Barrie and towns around the Lake Huron area getting dumped on.

Morning Brad, I'm just south of the "snow belt" of southern ontario. We frequenty miss the lake effect streamers that come across Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Across the lake in Ohio and Penn. and NY they often get more snow than we do here. And many storms that come in from the US mid west go south of us. We will be having a bright sunny, perhaps cold day, but they will be in a blizzard. Today it is north of us that is in a blizzard, with whiteouts, roads closed, school buses cancelled, again but here it is bright, sunny and clear blue sky.

[brad03ca]

Morning Novi....We too are in a good zone. Although we live in the Ganaraska Forest which is part of the Oak Ridges Moraine we don't get all that much snow, compared to say..
Barrie. Guess there getting it last night and today. Have to call my son tonight see how he made out in all the snow. He works for Hydro One out of Orillia, right in the thick of it...

[The Big Kid]

cold enough to freeze the pocket book.

Oil tank refilled again. 514 litres in about 4 weeks. 71.9 cents a litre. A good time to be an oil company.

Wife carries a pocket hand warmer to insure her's never freezes up.

[Novi]

Your right, nothin worse than a frizzed up debit or credit card.

[The Big Kid]

the wife keeps the cards toasty warm by zipping them through the machines in stores.

Have you seen the pictures of the snow fall amounts that they are getting in up state New York? Go to CNN, they expect to have over 100 inches of snow.
