I was about to whine about our - 21 today in Toronto... Now thinking about making it a holiday destination for you westerners.
Hey !! It’s looking up for New Year’s Day !! Minus 7 660 AM was saying awhile ago !! You might not need those socks quite yet Eric.Is it still called a 'Chinook' wind when it's -32 ?... Nasty wind here today.... Flag is standing out dead straight.... They are saying the wind chill is only -44 but by the feel of things out there, I think they forgot a zero or something... You have way more snow than we do Mike... I bet it's drifting bad around Calgary.... It will be bad enough here... And Dennis! It's a hundred foot walk to my Vettecave.... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... think I'll wait til it gets up to at least -29....lol....

I don't know which is worse, the wind we have or the cold you guys put up with. Over Christmas we had three solid days of wind gusting 80+kms/hr and we are bracing for more of the same again tomorrow and through the weekend. Parts of the island will have winds of 100+ over in an area called Wreakhouse
Be thankful you don’t live in southern Alberta near Turner Valley Murray. You’ll never see as many as there are down there. I couldn’t believe how many can be seen from Hwy 3 west of Hwy 2.Fred, no idea why but wind depresses me. Something must have happened when I was a kid but for as long as I can recall wind has triggered the same emotions. Weird I know.
Stay warm and hang on.
If you land in Calgary, you will see a bit of this as we are all shovelling "up" (48" on either side of the driveway) ...Wow... that's a lot... doesn't look like a half metre deep on the cars though... Guess I'll be plowing when I get home tonight. Ughhhhhh..... Is it spring yet?
Actually Eric. I’ve got this much in the hood of my Lexus. Almost a foot,and it’s still coming down like crazy here.Wow... that's a lot... doesn't look like a half metre deep on the cars though... Guess I'll be plowing when I get home tonight. Ughhhhhh..... Is it spring yet?
