No snow to speak of, thank G, because they don't plow or shovel. The last two winters were much more harsh. Lots of snow, gets down to -20, and no sunny days for months on end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514390 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:07:29 +0000 Debora 514390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brrrrr!

So she's good while running about, but otherwise we have her with us at the office or in the house. And she needs booties for her feet on walks so they don't freeze. </p> <p>Our "real" huskies could stay outside in their pen (and insulated doghouse) even in this weather.</p> <p>Poor little doggies! My friend just got a puppy and is miserable trying to housetrain in this cold... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514315 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:03:42 +0000 Angie 514315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's -2 C here and there is quite a bit of snow. It has been snowing since Sunday. It's always fun at the beginning of snow season, but I do tire of it. </p> <p>I have been in -12C for days on end (outside walking around in NYC) and it's so bitter that you can hardly breathe. Una, no wonder the state pays you to live in Alaska!! How does Kona do in all of this?</p> <p>Our little doggies fall through the snow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514263 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:04:10 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 514263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to answer after reading the Cdn weather conversion chart. I am from Winnipeg (Lyn and Transcona Shannon) and am on week 3 in Mexico and returning on the weekend. I have attached garage, heating parking at work, command start, and heated seats in my car. I only go out in the evenings if I need to when it is at the coldest and try to do errands on the way home from work. Brrrr </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514196 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:41:34 +0000 JennyAnne 514196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yep, I'm done complaining. I hope you at least get some snow soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514194 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:26:40 +0000 Mochi 514194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there some cyber way of sitting Una down in a bar and plying her with drinks so I can hear the story of how she ended up in the hinterlands of Siberia? (No, I'm joking. You don't actually have to tell it--it's probably too cold to move your fingers on the keyboard. BTW it's 39 here in Boston, and windy.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514191 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:12:16 +0000 krishnidoux 514191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta I am 100% with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514170 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:03:12 +0000 rute 514170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh..

X </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514092 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:00:39 +0000 Jem 514092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's going down to -35C tonight--they say it will be -49C with the windchill, yikes! It usually doesn't get that cold here. To answer how we do it, well, we are staying inside as much as possible and I'm driving my kids places instead of making them take the bus, plug in the cars overnight, dress warm, etc. It's more work for sure and super cold, but luckily here it usually only lasts a week or so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514089 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:50:23 +0000 Aziraphale 514089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brr. How do you cold-climate ladies do it? It's been hovering around zero (Celsius, so only just cold enough for snow) for about a week here, and I'm freezing my pants off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514076 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:08:55 +0000 Vicki 514076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, man, why am I complaining! But, I DID as I went for Taco Tuesday (yum, yum!) and I was freezing here in Southern California. Stay warm, Una! I feel your frostbite! ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514072 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 04:03:24 +0000 Sveta 514072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Reasonable) cold does not bother me in winter as much as temperature swings. Saturday night we had 5C - Sunday morning it was -21C - Monday night it was 4C. How can you survive when your body is so confused?<br /> Honestly I don't remember January that warm here in SW Ontario. We had 2 snowfalls big enough to speak of but nothing like last year when we got 5 feet in 24 hours.<br /> It was raining all day and now it turned to snow...I would need to scrape my car in the morning...agrrr!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-514070 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:58:37 +0000 soobee 514070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Deborah, we're sitting quietly in the corner. I'm humming "oh I do like to be beside the seaside" under my breath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-513978 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:29:44 +0000 Kari 513978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, yesterday morning, it was so cold that I started the day flat on my back 10 steps down the driveway due to black ice. (I took that as a sign to work from home.) But yeah, I shouldn't complain. It's our first REAL winter weather so far this year.</p> <p>We'll see what happens.</p> <p>Right now, it's a few degrees still above freezing and quite wet due to a lot snow in the morning, and melting during the late afternoon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-513970 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:13:26 +0000 Deborah 513970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I notice the we Aussie girls are staying quiet on this one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-513953 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:38:42 +0000 Isabel 513953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I WAS cold.....but nevermind ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it/page/2#post-513951 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:36:17 +0000 nancylee 513951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Sounds intense, Una. We're having a very mild winter here in the mid-Atlantic. Not even any snow yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it#post-513927 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:10:19 +0000 catgirl 513927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHA!

Too funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-how-cold-is-it#post-513925 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:03:10 +0000 Nadia 513925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well we here in Saskatchewan can sometimes boast (or mourn) temperatures that exceed Siberia in coldness and I think this is one of those weeks.<br /> Right now with the wind chill factor it is -41 Celsius but it is supposed to get down to -47 tonight and stay that way throughout tomorrow. Wednesday warms back up to -41.<br /> (For you Americans that means -41.8 and -52.6 Fahrenheit.)</p> <p>And this seems like an appropriate time to post this:</p> <p>The Canadian National Temperature Conversion Guide:<br /> 10C = Vancouverites try to turn on the heat. Saskatchewanians plant gardens.<br /> 5C = Victorians shiver uncontrollably. Regina people sunbathe.<br /> 3C = Italian cars won't start. Regina people drive with the windows down.<br /> 0C = Distilled water freezes. Regina water gets thicker<br /> -5C = Torontonians wear coats, gloves and wool hats.

Regina Girl Scouts begin selling cookies door to door.<br /> -80C = Polar bears begin to evacuate the arctic.Saskatoon Boy Scouts postpone<br /> "Winter Survival" classes until it gets cold enough.<br /> -100C = Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Regina people pull down their earflaps.<br /> -114C = Ethyl alcohol freezes. Regina people get frustrated when they can't thaw the keg.<br /> -183C = Microbial life survives on dairy products.
