Well, It's quarter to nine this morning (Jan 31/13) and it is now officially the coldest flippin day of the year.

MINUS 32° C (-32) (that's minus 25° F)


" It was so cold this morning, that when I went to the barn to feed the horses, I had to go around and jump-start all the mice, so the cats would have something to play with....." :icon_confused:

When I die, I want to go where the dogs are.
Haha, I always say, if we didn't like it, we wouldn't live here!
Is there something wrong with us northerners?:icon_cheers:

With the Wind Chill added to that, it makes it minus -47° C ( that's MINUS -53° F )

Greg

Added: Quote from the alert: "Another shot of cold Arctic air is pushing into Southern Manitoba and is producing temperatures near or below minus 33 over much of Southern Manitoba. These temperatures combined with 20-30 km/h winds will result in wind chill values of minus 43 to minus 49 that will persist throughout most of the day. At these extreme wind chill values frostbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 10 minutes. The wind chill will moderate slightly this afternoon as temperatures recover a few degrees but there will still be a risk for extreme wind chills to return tonight as temperatures drop into the mid minus thirties again."

Its 12*F here right now, that is just about cold enough of a "cold snap" for me.

Just enough to keep the riff-raff out but you can still easily start your truck. :icon_thumby:

It was about 90 here this afternoon with a nice breeze. You know what? I don't miss those cold winters one bit. Sorry you all are so cold. Stay indoors as much as you can.
