HOLY S*&t, I just realized those are daytime HIGH temperatures! That looks like a nasty spell in the next few days with a predicted HIGH of -20C... I thought that sort of thing was reserved for us East of the Rockies...
Good luck... And think of it this way, you'll be able to skate outdoors for the entire month of December... hmm, maybe that's not a good thing.
Ya Barb ... best of luck out there. It's bad enough here with our -8°C overnight lows and highs near 0°C, plus or minus a degree. At least the Ice wine people are happy 😆
Cheers, Barrie.
It was -16.8c overnight with a high today Tues.of -9c. I should have stayed in Mexico. The palm shelters are -7c at night and already +1c early today with the "arctic" sun warming things up! Hope we don`t get many more of these nasty cold snaps this winter.

skating
no way.
I'm hunkerin' down in front of the TV with a beer...maybe even a warm beer.
And...drumroll...Sunday nite (5 days from now) is supposed to be -27C (-17F).
#@$*&%$# !!

John, how about some MEXICO PICS ????

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Reports are in and 85 low temperature records where broken yesterday around BC. No records breakers here but snow is forecast during the overnight hours and into tomorrow (Wednesday). The insanity continues as my digital thermometer shows 27.4°F (-2.5°C) presently. It's gonna be a long cold winter here 😥
Cheers, Barrie.
Yup, saw that on the news too, Barrie.
85 low temperature records
That's eighty-five individual records that were broken, folks.
Nothing to do with the year 85 😆
Much of North America is in this arctic blast (like an inverted bell).
Oklahomans (homians?) are complaining about freezing rain.

PS--we ALL want to see John's Mexico pics, don't we?
We Canadians are a hardy bunch though, eh?

Todd,
You folks are lucky duckies.
Bet you'd like a little snow for Christmas... 😈

This is gettin' stupid 🙄 SNOW has been falling most of today and I've cleared the driveway 3 times!!!
My 4x4 is a bonus in such conditions but I'm really looking forward to betting back to normal weather.
Cheers, Barrie.
Now thats a great attitude Barrie !
Hey Todd ... looks like I'll have to be bringing my beer back into the fridge. A warming trend is forecast for the coming days and rain is also included. With all that snow melting it's quite likley there'll be some localized flooding 🙄
Cheers, Barrie.
