    At my place it rained all day, but the cold is even worse.
    Guess I should think about my plans again to move to Canada :-\

    I would prefer Florida right now as well. Instead I am sitting in front of my PC and should write my final paper... and what am I doing???... looking stupid things up at the internet

    Aaah Manitoba! I didn't know you got hit, too! I have friends in Alberta, too, that got hit really bad. The entire city of Saskatoon shut down - three people died in the storm! Mind you, it was because they got stuck on the highways and tried wandering away for help, which any Canadian should know NOT to do!

    My friend called me and she lives a few hours south of me - it was -49 yesterday! I think we only hit the negative mid-30's in the past couple of days, but we got hit bad. One hundred people got stranded overnight in Costco!

    I'm just dreaming of that Florida weather!

    Oh - and I also took a few videos while waiting for the bus. They're really short and without sound, but I'll post em up so you can see the blanket of white!

    It's just three seconds long, but you can tell from the people just packed into the shelters and the fact you can barely see across the street that it was pretty cold ;)

    So do I get that right now? There are about -30 degrees outside and u are waiting for the bus? I wouldn't make a step outside. I have a friend in Sascatoon. Hopefully he's ok...

    I'm sure your friend is fine, Chrissi - just probably really chilly ;D

    I didn't want to take a step outside, lol, but I work at the library and can't just not show up! I thought it would be the very last place to close, since a lot of people were taking refuge there from the storm, but nope, we shut down at 2!

    It's only -36 today... lol... next week it's supposed to settle down a bit.

    +10 degrees over here in Germany at 10:40pm. But I think that is way too warm for January.

    wow, im always so impressed that people can live in conditions like that, -32 is ridiculous!!! how do you canadians do it?! the only conclusion i can think of it canadians have ridiculously furry skin that is several inches thick.

    I'll try my best to make it go away...

    (Can't promise anything, though!)

    I *hope* most Canadians aren't all furry! Haha, we're just super awesome? I like this theory better than the fur one!

    It's -38 right now ;)

    Our blood is just thicker. Here in Ontario I'm still riding my bike to work every day. We've had all of 3 days of snow so far this year and it's been well above zero every day. But it's supposed to drop to -26 on Wed. So we're going from ridiculously warm for this time of year to ridiculously cold for this region for any time of the year. Boourns. Lucky I'm off on Wed, otherwise I'd book in sick. Screw riding your bike in -26!
