Too Cold To Work!
We hit-28oC at 0800 hrs this morning. Windchill was measured at -41oC. For those who have not experienced windchill, see: http://www.ontarioweather.com/winter.../windchill.asp
It is so cold right now that if you threw a cup of hot water into the air, it will instantly convert to snow well before it hits the ground. Working in this type of weather is OK providing you have the proper kit and are reasonably healthy. This weather reminds me of my army days, but with one difference - I don't have to go outside! Brrrrr!

Was out with the wrecker all day boosting vehicles, it amazes me how many people leave the master power on and wonder why the batteries are always dead

I see by the Govt of Canada weather site you guys reached -22°C today, so I don't know what you fellows are whining about.
We are heading back into the -31 zone tonight.....we actually hit -23 today which was kind of nice. Monday was Brutal here with biting winds on top of very low temps. Suddenly, the all inclusives to Mexico are looking very desirable right now. Hoping to head South any day now.

Whining?
Quote:
http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/..._metric_e.html - click on More Info tab and then the Past 24 hours tab - it shows what really happened temp wise here in Ottawa. We refined city dwellers are not overly used to such ignorant coldness, whereas you are used to and deserve the cold temps you get as payment for the privilege of living in Shilo. Whining? No. Just sharing the pain...

Hmmm
Funny...you blokes are lighting 'em, and Max is putting 'em out.
Personally I blame your freezing temperatures on global warming.
