I flew in the North throughout the early eighties. My definition of North means places you cannot drive to...Your Edmonton stories mean nothing to me.....lol.

... sorry ... I decided to remove my hockey YEG story and photo from 1968-69 ... as some have determined it better to litterally have a pee match of what cold is.Spence..you left the important part out! Which future Gretzky were you?
Try taking a wizz outside through 6 layers of heavy clothes, when the temperature convinces your package that it’s an inny not an outy. Occasionally had to coax the old boy out with promises of a warmer future.When I came to Alberta a million years ago, I surveyed pipeline for Peace Pipe in Spirit River and points north from there. Coming from the east coast, I learned some things pretty fast... Don't touch metal with bare hands at -40. At - 45 when you take a leak outside, it's ice on the ground before you can pull your zipper up. At -50 your spit is ice when it hits the ground and at -50 when you get a litre of oil at the service station that's stored in a rack outside by the gas pump, it won't pour out the spout. You have to cut the top off the jug and even then it comes out like thick glue sludge.... And at -20, you change back into your shorts.... lol...

Don’t need to be a millennial for that.....lol!
Wait a minute here. Why are you guys complaining about plugging in EV‘s when anywhere in the Prairies this time of year you also have to plug in gasoline powered vehicles?So ... not a Tesla noticed on the road as much as I normally see ...
and News Broadcasting YYC’s advocation to avoid electricity use at peak times ... like as people return home from work to happily plug an EV in.
I do not think “Greta’s World” would be that wonderful and more or less become “reGreta’s World” perhaps.

9 years in Moosejaw. Had to plug in every winter or all you got was rrRRrrRRrrRR.....Really ?
Kinda away from the point of quoting my comment of the life line of the EV.
and not too funny as not every one needs to plug in a block heater to run a vehicle.
