it's only a frosty 72F here today. with our wind chill, that would be

Well, I'm south, but it's the same here.

Worst part was that I was forking hay over the fence for the horses,
and was doing it right into the north wind. My face hurt.
A lot.

Then your last name is appropriate. I assume it's pronounce Freezin'?

I'm in warm sunny NC now, but I grew up in northern Maine. Coldest
I've ever experienced was -58 F (-50 C) without factoring in wind
chill.

I used to bike to university all winter--big skidoo boots, mitts up to
my elbows, ski goggles, face mask...

My personal best is -63C with windchill. But once you get below -30 or
so it really doesn't matter...you just pile on more insulating layers.

That would be me. I got an email from my local airport reminding me my currency
in the Piper Arrow was getting ready to expire. I went down there this
afternoon and scored a free maintenance flight. It had a minor oil leak in the
prop that was going to be fixed at the maintenance base.

I like free. Two flights in severe clear weather: life is good. BTW: drove
down to the airport in my shirt sleeves with the windows open.

Ask my coworkers. They will all agree I suck.

It was 19F this morning when I got up. It was about 45F this noon when
my neighbor came over and asked if I were aware of the HUGE LEAK at my
pump house. I noticed a drip or two around the landscaping plumbing a
couple weeks ago and filed it for this summer's work. That very joint
let go this morning.

I put on my rain gear, swam to the pump house, and shut the valve off
in about a minute. sigh

I'm not bitchin', we always know we're going to get these temps at some

Agreed. Here in Toronto, I've been going out on a regular basis and not once
this winter (yet) have I got my wheelchair stuck in the snow. That means
it's been pretty mild so far as I'm concerned.

It's merely one of your cursed Canadian Clippers coming down at us,

outside a minute ago. White flakes are falling. Oh, maybe your last

It's 31.4°F on the roof. I'm hoping it raises a bit SOON! Snow plays
havoc with my dish. I lose both TV and Starband internet access when
it builds up to about 3".

I delivered a paper at a conference in Ottawa one fine November day. It
got cold and snowy rather quickly. A colleague from Japan was there
with only a suit jacket; he compared latitude and figured that temps in
Ottawa would be comparable to those in Tokyo. He probably learned
something about inland v. seacoast. And about studying approaching fronts.
