I've heard a news report today, that some places in Alberta, Canada are reporting -56C (that's Celsius) windchill temperatures.
That's about -130 Fahrenheit !! That is bloody cold!
I am only in Ontario, but our temperatures with the windchill are reaching below -30C (-86F). And now comes the snow. 40cm over the past 48 hrs. I don't think I can ever get used to it.
Some of you may remember my foggy December image. What a weather we had then:

I don't think it works that way. To the best of my recollection, -40°C and -40°F are the same temperature. After that °F starts to outnumber the °C.

Well, not quite, but still cold. It's -56 C = -68 F.

OK, I used some weird formula that I had in my little calendar book to convert the degrees. Never mind.
But that is totally missing the point. You are right I do not work outside, but getting to work is painful enough. Normally it takes about 75 minutes. Well in these conditions, it take twice that long. Do you understand how much time gets wasted just by getting to and from work? All that time could be used for other more cheerful things to do. Like taking pictures and stuff like that :-))
OK, one more thing. I think the weather is affecting my score too ?! It's steadily dropping, just like the temperature. I don't think hot tea will fix that :-)))
I'm in Michigan, but can't even imagine the weather and road conditions in Canada. My observation driving to work this morning (on ice and snow) was that the southern truck drivers were in the right lane using their tractor gear, the midwest truck drivers were in the center lane doing 50mph, and the canadian truck drivers were in the left lane doing 70mph+.
scrum8, that is funny. Canadians seem to drive like maniaks even in bad weather (at least some). I try to stay away from the roads when it gets this bad. It is really frustrating to drive in this weather. Sometimes it is faster to just walk than driving on the highways.
Still snowing today. Snowplows are busy. It is very dark & greay outside. Not very inspiring... maybe it just inspires me to crowl back to bed :-))

We'll be walking, and running this weekend. I'll have 300+ scouts at the annual Klondike Derby. I can sleep at home though instead of camping since I'm not a scoutmaster anymore. I think I'm going to make the HQ next to the Fire Building skill station. I'm hoping for lots of good candid shots.
Without including the windchill, it is -50 here in Dawson City, Yukon.
It has been within a couple of degrees of that for two weeks now, talk about cabin fever! We have three bars and two restaurants open within hundreds of Kilometers, and a winter population of maybe 1600 people. The nearest town is about 200Kms away and only has a population of a couple hundred people. I think we are all going crazy...or maybe it's just me!
