We are going to have some very nice winter weather.. Plus 15C by Sunday...
.....................
Winnipeggers who can stay inside should do so today. :shock: :)

Environment Canada has issued a wind chill warning for the city as winds gusting about 20 km/h make the air feel like a numbing -49 C this morning.

Winnipeg School Division buses were cancelled due to the extreme cold, as well as many daycares and clubs across the province.

While the temperature hovered around -36 C this morning, it is set to rise to -26 C before the day is through.

But tonight the extreme cold will carry on, with a low of -34 C and wind that makes it feel like -43 C.

Thursday should continue the cold spell with a sunny -25 C high.

Friday is still set to warm up to a relatively balmly high of -17 C.

Mother Nature could finally smile down on the city over the weekend, though, which could lead to a welcome high of 2 C on Sunday, if the forecast holds true. ( and look at this SylviaA...Not fair... day after you leave it warms up :x :P )
Cold... Freezing... Winnipeg
When we were waiting at the PV airport last weekend I overheard a conversation by a couple heading back to Winnipeg . They said they had stored their parkas / winter boots at the Winnipeg airport - in anticipation of a very frosty return . Why lug it if you can store it ?

I heard a cute question from a little girl to her dad on the flight down . While we were waiting for de-icing the girl ( about 4 or 5) asked her dad , \"Daddy are there snakes on this plane ? \" He reassured her that was just in a movie and there were no snakes aboard . :)
Minus -29f this AM
but the good news ???????????
We are coming back to PVR in 3 days !!!!!!!!

Is everything OK there ?

Temps
Toronto is -2 celsius but our snow is almost all melted off . Spring is soon to arrive - I hope ! :)
You know, I can handle the cold as long as its sunny out. Except we have an older gentleman that lives across the street and he sits in his front window without a shirt (to get his vit. D I guess).
30 degrees today, summer is on its way back and soon we will be moaning about how its 50 degrees at lunchtime. Yes thats celsius. Maybe this summer will be the last one we spend in the middle east and move to PV for a change of pace :)
72F and . Just came in from working in the yard. March came in wet and windy but it sure is nice now.
Current temp in Calgary right now is Minus 4 C :x

I guess if we had summer, it was those three days back in June. Our furnace has been running at least once or twice each week all summer. Lots of rain... everyday... at least there is no forest fire threat this year with all this wet stuff.

I worry about mold though. So many people have colds and some kinds of flu.. The clinic is not taking any tests as a routine anymore. Kleenex seems to be flying off the shelves.
:shock: We had some of that stuff too but it is melting...more on the way though :P
Sherry
I bet while you are hiding under your covers you are dreaming of your PV vacation...

Here is a smiley for you ...

It has rained here pretty much everyday for the last couple of weeks. Not benefiting anybody... even the ducks are gone.

On the other hand sure is nice to be living where earthquakes are only seen on TV.

We had our first frost warning for Southern Ontario last night . :(

Chillin At Work
You should of brought your snuggie to work ! :)
Got to a balmy 36 degree f. here in the great Illinois corn desert of America. We have been in a cold spell since Dec. 1st and not going to end until spring. Hey Mr. Gore where is this global warming you keep promising me? just kidding. We leave in two weeks for sunshine, cerveza, tranquility, and good times. Hope everyone has a very merry christmas and try to stay warm with loved ones and family.
Bottoms Up !
Maybe Santa will bring some of these for all of my snowbound friends !
