Calgary this morning is minus 34 and with the wind chill it is minus 44
The temperature on our Acreage is minus 39
It's pretty cold this morning, but I wouldn't trade California, mud slides etc. Feel for the people affected by all the rain!!!

Hey Eddy, I feel your pain up here in Edmonton. It's -35 right now. Any kind of a breeze, and it is down-right painfull.

It's tough to imagine planting anything in a few months. However, I agree with you, I will take what we have, and be very thank-full.

Geez, it's warm down here. We only hit -32. It's shorts weather!!!!!!! 1/2 hour down the road in Lethbridge, it's -39 with a windchill of a good ol -51. Yes, for all you farenheit people, that's colder than...................well, you get the point.

You are both so right. We may complain about our stupid weather, but I think in the long haul, we get it pretty easy.

At this time it's a warm -30C. Going to be -37C tonight with a windchill of -51C. Thats -59.8F. Time to plug the truck in.
The good side to all this is the fact that pumpkin insect pests are just things that we read about. A little cool weather cleans things right up!

Keep warm guys!

That's a good reminder Don. It makes me feel better when I'm out in the wind. We suffer a bit in the winter for fewer gardening bugs in the summer.

It's hovering at 0 at the moment here in the city, but it's supposed to go down to -9 tonight, and I'm working night shift. Might have to break out the toque and long underwear tonght... All the side streets in this damn city are skating rinks at the moment, so a rear wheel drive Crown Victoria with bald tires is a real pleasure.

No topic like weather gets the Canadians talking... well, except maybe the hockey lockout, but that's another story.
