Bairnardo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Not the extremes mentioned but leaving work this morning it was -10 and the very first thing I thought when I walked out into it was, your not lasting long if you are caught out here in this temperature. Not just cold, but into another tier of freezing where you kind of know it's dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pisses me off every year people driving without clearing their windscreen and other windows but this is bizarre and totally stupid. Laziness taken to a new level. Fortunately haven’t seen any other examples of it so far this time around. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first winter here I took the streetcar/tram to work everyday, standing on the street waiting for them was brutal but you just get on with it, thankfully now I take the subway. We were getting the train in to New York and I was nudging my wife to snigger at the commuters wearing big knitted ear muffs in the cold. 10 minutes later I wasn't laughing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This winter here has actually been fairly mild, it's "only" -9 at the moment, feels like -17. I think the lowest feels like temperature we have had this winter is -22, which doesn't feel too bad. There's a poster on here, Raider maybe? How lives in the Chicago area, they have worse winters than Toronto ETA - Hope you've got the big coat on @mugen_power https://globalnews.ca/news/7631656/alberta-weather-cold-15-new-record-lows/ Ha, merely a bit nippy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Have experienced -18 (C) in Michigan during a relatively mild winter. It wasn't too bad as there was little wind to go along with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on the same day obvs. We went to Riga for a few days about a fortnight before Christmas a few years ago. It never went above freezing the whole time we were there - the river was frozen solid, and one night it apparently went down to -27. Have to say, it didn't appear noticeably colder than it had been any other night...below a certain temperature it just registers "baltic" in your mind. In this case literally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
