Awake in Coldsville.
Jan. 18th, 2005 12:53 pmI just got up, and when I heard the weather report, I had second thoughts. Man, the brass monkeys are singing the castrato parts today! -22 Celcius, with a wind chill brining it to about -36. I think I'm going to stay inside today!

Date: 2005-01-18 07:56 pm (UTC)But today, it should be 85 Fahrenheit (29 Canadian), so I guess that makes up for it.
:P

Date: 2005-01-19 12:33 am (UTC)and i remember thinking to myself... it would be pretty damn hard for it to get "dangerously cold" in Texas. I mean, maybe for someone who was homeless and lived outside at night yeah... but for someone sitting in their house listening to the weather report on the news... not as likely.
looking back, i think it only dropped to about the equivalent of -4C. Very cold yes. "dangerously cold" dont think so. Those folks who live in Minnesota where it is so cold that you can freeze and egg on the sidewalk in 60 seconds live in the "dangerously cold"

Date: 2005-01-19 03:29 am (UTC)At least, the wind has come down, so there's not much windchill, but it was -41C with windchill recently.

Date: 2005-01-19 04:36 am (UTC)I knew that it got cold in Montreal, but I didn't realize that it got THAT cold on a regular basis. I'll be sure to plan my trip to visit your wonderful city when the theps dont get below zero. (and no, it isn't a "near future" trip, Montreal is just on my list of cities to visit someday)
brrrrrr.
