Warning!! Extreme cold warnings in Montreal

[Camelyn]

Well, it's -29 outside. (-39 with windchill)

I just couldn't bring myself to deal with another cold day. Getting the kids bundled up, Struggling for 5 minutes while the kids freeze to get the car started (IF it would start this morning), driving one to daycare, then the other to school, then sitting in traffic for and hour and a half to get to my work which is actually just 20 or so minutes from home, and all this done while my extremities try to freeze solid. Repeat in reverse order after work in the evening.

I couldn't do it, I called in sick.

Huh, that's a first. I have fond memories of "snow days" when I was a kid, though as a mom, I can now appreciate how much of a bitch they must have been for my parents.
There was one in particular, in high school, on the day of a history final, which I hadn't studied for.

Is it ever cold. I just went out to fill up the windshield washer fluid and just clean the back lights of my car so people can see me on the road. I thought my face was gonna fall off. The wind was burning!

I hope your summers are spectacular enough to compensate for such a vile wintertime.

Depends on the summer. This past summer sucked big time. Rain, cold temperature. We have a pool at home and I think we used it 4 times. We better get compesated by mother nature for what we're dealing with now.

You know that it's cold outside when...

Spirit takes temperature on Mars

From correspondents in Washington
January 10, 2004
THE six-wheeled Spirit rover has taken Mars's temperature for the first time as it readies for its first roll across the red planet next weekend, NASA said today.

During daytime, martian rocks were colder than objects made up of fine particles, said Phil Christensen, the scientist tasked with the temperature readings. "On the ground, the warmest temperature is around five degrees Celsius and the coldest is -15 degrees Celsius," he said.

...it's 30 degress WARMER on the face of Mars than it is in your own back yard!!!
