Farking winter is here!!!! -13C according to The Weather Network, -19 with the wind. They say it's Alberta's wave of cold falling down on us, so I'm blaming you, MikeRo!

Time to wear a pj under the office clothes - bigger bum = warmer bum

Happy lovely winter to Am, Slite and the googlies!

What?!! How?!! When, where, who???!!

PJ (me) is not to be worn as an item of clothing or added to a drink. Well, not until New Year's Eve that is

*Off Topic

I just saw on the news Santa got arrested for DUI in Sparta, WI. Guess that means I won't be getting my Christmas wish. Sigh....Now I'm going to have to leave out a wireless ankle monitor and add a fifth of vodka to the eggnog. So much for milk and cookies this year.

Yeah, but it's Wisconsin, so if it was his first offense, then it's just a misdemeanor.

With the Wind Chill, it felt colder than -50. The city itself was a balmy -35 degrees before factoring the Wind Chill.

Ahhh.. Zero degrees. I can't wait.

holy cow.

i have cousins living in edmonton, i better check in and make sure they are not frozen.

i'll believe it when i see it though. snow is pretty rare in paris, and we got quite a lot of it last year, i was expecting this winter to be really mild but clearly i was wrong... there is a snow alert over 31 departments in france for tonight and at least through tomorrow !

They probably are big blocks of ice by now. They'll melt in a couple months, I'm sure.

In the meantime: I'm coooooolllllddddd! I completely winterized myself this morning, but from the moment I stepped out to *now*, more then 12 hours after, I've been cold. I think I should drink antifreeze liquid to keep my fingers movable.

Outside thermometer measures 41.9 C (107 F); 20% humidity sunny with a few billowing clouds and (hot) wind..

Verencat · 12-16-2009, 10:01 PM

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!

Bf just called to warn me agains't tomorrow morning's temperature: -29C (wind chill included).

tedmcardle · 12-16-2009, 10:53 PM

It's freakin' cold.

MikeRo · 12-17-2009, 12:14 AM

Whoops - one major thing I forgot to mention. When we lost power Sunday night (temperature at -33C before wind chill) the local power utility guys were out in that for hours restoring power for everyone. A big tip 'o the hat to those folks - they definitely earned every penny of overtime that night.

Snow! We finally got snow! The first real snow in 5 years! (I don't count those days where you can hardly see there is snow as real snow...)

I stayed home (I admit, we did try to get to work, but after 30 minutes gave up and went home again. This country isn't made for snowy days

)

That's exciting!

9:48 pm. 32.6 C outside (91.4 F); 20% humidity; lightning at a distance. Distinct smell of smoke from bushfires and hot wind. An Australian summers evening

As I typed that, it started raining...

If it's like any of my other plans, it'll end up with me lying on the floor with a high-heel stuck in the back of my skull
