That's the temperature where I live today...and to make things colder...it's actually -52C (-61.6F) with the windchill!!!


You know it's cold when my logs on the house are making noises!

Geez, and we thought we had it bad in Newfoundland!! It was a balmy -3C here today! That's good for this time of the year all the same.

Ugh - that's way too cold for me.

Brrr - hope you're home by the fire warm and cosy

I cannot imagine. Our windchill was down to -4 this week and it felt unbearable. How can you stand such a cold winter? Do the schools close for those kind of temps? They sure would here. How much snow do you get? Just curious- I could not live somewhere that cold. I am sure it is beautiful in the spring & summer, but winters like that would be killer.

I can't stand a cold winter like this! Some years, we have 3 months of -30ish weather. They are saying that it's going to get to -10C this week...we'll see! We don't have alot of snow, but some years our snow banks are 8 feet or more!
Spring and summer are beautiful...especially by the lake! School isn't shut down otherwise the kids would never get there! Last year we had our first snow day EVER, we had warm temps, but the amount of snow was crazy. They shut it down as a danger to kids walking in the streets to get to school. Recess gets to be indoor recess when the temp is -28C or colder!

Thank you for answering my questions- it's amazing to me they don't shut down school. We have had school shut down, usually one day per winter, for it being too cold- somewhere down around zero. We also usually get 3 or 4 more days off during the winter for snow conditions- but around here, a 6" snow is a big deal. It's very interesting to me how people take things in stride when they are used to them....good luck staying warm this winter. I can imagine it is gorgeous once the snow is gone, you certainly would deserve it.

Minus 9 is cold enough here.
Couple of days ago with the windchill it was -24.
We are suppose to warm up to the 40's by the end of next week so something to look forward to.
Try and keep warm!

OH i know that kind of weather! a couple of years ago, schools were closed 11 times in January for temperatures below -35!!! Kids loved that!

[JulianaM]

WOW! That is cold...cold that I can not even begin to imagine! Certainly makes me happy to live a bit more south!

[Wheeliegirl]

I just couldn't handle that kind of cold. I would probably have some sort of a breakdown or anxiety attack.

Me too!

It's suddenly feeling much warmer here. Thank you!

Gee, and I complain if it goes below 50F. You can keep all that white stuff and cold air up north, please!
