COLD

[#juan]

I spent two and a half years in Winnipeg. I lived out in Charleswood near the ring road. Ioved the city and I loved the people. I wasn't that happy with the weather. If we moved Winnipeg to central Vancouver Island it would be just about perfect. :wink: :wink: :lol:

I used to live out in Charleswood too. My wife grew up Fort Richmond. It's funny...after we moved to Transcona, people started bitching about how far we are from everything. We're closer to downtown than Charleswood and Fort Richmond. For that matter, we're closer to downtown than most of St. Vital.

I used to live in a high valley in the Colorado mountains. Had a localized nightly cold air inversion. Would go down to 40 below F at night and go up 40 degrees during the day. Was always pleasant and sunny. Had a very dry climate. I now live in the desert about 150 miles away. Gets into the triple digits in the summer, but still not bad because it's dry. Humidity makes a lot of difference. When I lived near the great lakes, 20 degrees seemed like zero in the west. 80 degrees in Florida seem like 100.

Getting back towards the topic... :lol:

When I lived up north, my mom put a pan of hot water outside on the front step, and it froze so quick, the ice was still warm :wink:

Hey,Where I lived Northern Saskatchewan, we used to consider Saskatoon the deep south. When taking a piss outside we had to run backwards to keep away from the icicle forming. Sometimes one would have to help the girls to stand up, when they got stuck. Now that is cold.

Hi all,
I dont like the cold either, but being in the Maritimes I dont have a choice other than my hubby will retire in 10 years and he wants to spend his winters in the Carribean.
That sounds good to me.)))

Hey I got family in Transcona Rev 8O My favorite aunt lives there 8) Isn't there a big paved garbage pile that the kids use as a sledding hill in the winter there?

 

[Reverend Blair]

It's a park, not paved, although there are sidewalks through it. That's way the other side of Transcona...in fact it might be in Kildonan. At any rate, it's by all the autowreckers.

I'm on the other side, by the malting plant that makes important ingredients for beer.

I remember living in Charleswood and the only good thing about it was I was across the street from the pub and a quick jaunt to Assiniboia Downs. Then I moved down by the U of M on the Pembina highway, it was a bit better as liquor mart across street, pub next door and fishing 100 yards away. Next to Vancouver and even with the cold and wind in the winter, Winnipeg was my next favourite place to live. I really enjoyed my couple years there. I hated Calgary and Fort St. John, but Kamloops was pretty good. Basically lived in Kamloops on and off since the very early 70's.

Well.....here it is, snow is shutting down southern Ontario and it is just below 0C for the day (Monday and Tuesday next week has temperatures of +8c and +13c predicted).

This morning, Toronto is just teaming with accidents, sure glad that I do not have to put up with that (traffic situation) everyday.

I spent 6 years in Cold Lake Alberta and a few weeks straight of -40c was not uncommon. But if you live out West and talk to someone from....say...Ontario....out West has a dry cold while Ontario is a damp cold. I still say -40c is still -40c no matter where you live

Yeh sure there are native gangs but there are also white gangs like the biker gangs all across canada, chinese and vietlamese, and all sorts of gangs. It isn't just native gangs, causing crime. Plus lets look at who is running this country, a bunch of momma tit, sucking white boys, and if they ain't tit sucking they are so called catholic priest that so called straight and or celabit, LOL, while molesting little native boys in the residential schools, which by the way was so called a promise from the whiteman to educate our people in the european manner and schooling system. Until one day some white woman asked her husband why are we educating that savage, wont they be just as equal as a whitemen then? So then the man though about this and said hey your right. We will only educated the savage till grade 6 then send him back to the reserve, but oh no then he will marry a savage indian woman and all our work is gone, the boy will go back to his savage ways. So alas they opened a all girls residential school for indian girls only. LOL to much, anyhoooo... back to the moomma titi suckin whitmen in parliment.....I say with people that we have as leaders ... How else did you picture society?
