About 20 degrees colder than it has any right to be.
A couple of days ago I said it was colder here than a witches t i t, I was wrong it is now even colder.
-20 °C, or as I prefer -5°F. Not a thrill for anyone who has to go out in it, but I don't .Hubby and I have a new book and because it one we both like I'm reading it aloud . So we are indoors warm and toasty. The only saving grace for this nasty cold weather is that it is sunny and bright.

You got that right. If it were this sunny and bright in August, we would have at least 80 degrees....:roll::smile:
It's -32 here today, with windchill values below -40. The rural buses aren't running, the ski hills are shut down, and the radio warns of ten minutes for frost bite to exposed skin.
I post this not to complain, but to illustrate the fact that, that is the temperature throughout most of Alberta, and we're not on here complaining. lol.

THAT identifies your innate wisdom.
I think with the wind chill in Vernon right now it's close to minus 50C.
It warmed up a little. It's -29C from -32C earlier this AM. Windchill makes it feel like -40C but it's a cloudless sky.
What's happened to the good old days when normal prairie winter temperature was 40 below without any wind chill?
No I didn't mean without wind, I meant the actually thermometer reading was 40 below- probably 60 wind chill temp.
It was just announced on the T.V. news tonight that the U.S. is getting the worst cold snap they've had in 40 years. We all know that is utter and unadulterated bullsh*t. It wasn't that many years that orange groves in Florida were freezing.
If there were a brass monkey stretching from Edmonton to Calgary, at -40*C it would be about 337 m shorter than it would be at +20*C.
I know it's cold enough to freeze the nuts off a steel bridge.
The coefficient of expansion of brass being 0.0000187 per degree C?
Yes, and knowing the temperature difference and the shrinkage, you can determine the distance between the two cities.
There was a young man from Madras
Whose "monkey" was fashioned from brass.
Young maidens declared,
When with him they paired,
That cold weather was often too crass.
