Ever wanted to know what a Canadian winter is like in the Prairies????

Well lets just say.........if -40C = -40F

Our low for tonight and for the next 3 nights with wind chill should
be around -50C.

Time to hibernate and have a hot toddy

Cheers

Cooker - I was you were here too!

Bonnie - Yep it was too cold to B-B-Q Sunday night, but loin came out PERFECTLY.
-50C = about -50F.
We plug in our vehicles. There's a block heater inside the motor that has a cord coming from it which we plug into an outlet. It keeps the motor, battery and maybe the oil from freezing and easier for the motor to turn over in the morning. But one has to have a strong battery.
 
It's shorts and convertible weather....

Freddie--Don't you send any of that WAY below zero weather over the border to me! It's been cold here, but not that cold. Don't need that Canadian wind blowing it my way.
 
Nancy, I would really love to share this weather with you (and everyone):D

But its starting to warm up!

Today (Wednesday) its -31F with no wind.................yet
 
Freddie, you have my empathy! Many years ago we lived in the Rocky Mountains and the coldest we saw it there was the last year we wintered there, 44F degrees below zero with very bad winds--but that wasn't the wind chill, just the actual temperature. Brrrrrrrrr :eek: !!! We heated with a wood stove in those days and lived in a very poorly insulated but beautiful little cabin, right on the Blue River. The cat's water would freeze on the kitchen floor overnight. So cold!!!

Tonight, the low may reach about 29F degrees here. Much more tolerable :) .

Our local weather lady did the same thing

Our local weather lady did the same thing

with the boiling water a couple of weeks ago. Now here we are back in the deep freeze. We're supposed to have -40 to-50 windchills here overnight tonight. Makes me want to stay curled up in bed tomorrow morning instead of getting up to go to church.

We plug our vehicles in here too of course, but last time my hubby did that, his pickup truck cord must have not been plugged in all the way, and unfortunately it was blocking my vehicle and had to be pushed out of the way so we could get to church that morning.

I should go wake him up now, (he's sleeping in a chair in the livingroom), and ask him to make sure the vehicles are plugged in.:)
 
Today High: 76°...:D ...in our hometown.

Oy my Canadian friends - how is this hot-blooded South Texas gal gonna fare in Banff after we depart the Rocky Mountanineer choo-choo the first week in May?!?!....:eek:

Freezing boiling water......I never heard of such a thing...!
