haha...if i didnt know better...id say you were promoting scouts and girl guide activity...unfortunately you forgot to mention wind chill factor...

 

[fishstix]

Oh, very well. I'll go rent some videos then.

 

[jbarcher]

I would say that you can't go under -273 C......but....

Sure. And okay that is crazy cold!

 

[New Creation]

well, it's a lovely 10 C on B.C's Sunshine Coast today and I went for a walk to the ferry terminal...la la la... not much sunshine though...

I lived in Winnipeg for three painful years. I wouldn't go back if you put a gun to my head...

Fishstix,

THAT WAS FLIPPIN' HILARIOUS!!!!

 

[fishstix]

I called my grandma (who also lives in SK) and she said "cold 'nuff for ya?" Does that mean it is now -273C ?

 

[New Creation]

Fish stix, I sent that bit to my brother in Ottawa and he said he was gonna put it on the air!

 

[gusto5]

lol...id like to try -50'C first and see how cold that is...

 

[DWJD]

Up near Fort St. John in B.C it got to about -45 but with the windchill factor it was about -50! and they only got one day off of school!

Fortunately, i live in Richmond (a suburb of Vancouver) and we have bulbs coming up and people are mowing their lawns! Pitiful actually, it was lovely in Revelstoke when I was there last week, it snowed and snowed powder about three and a half feet. Great skiing!

 

[fishstix]

Day... off... school...??? For cold? Explain this strange phenomenon

-25 C = People in Vancouver cease to exist.
Saskatchewanians lick flagpoles.

Note to ALL: Don't take that seriously. Please don't, it REALLY hurts! I know that flagpoles(don't forget doorknobs) look tasty when they are all covered in sweet, sweet frost(mmmmmm.....frost...), but don't do it. You're tongue gets stuck and people laugh at me....wait...I mean the person that licked the doorknob at school. Oh, nevermind.

People get days off school because of cold? The only reason that I missed is because I drank to much beer in my hot chocolate the night before and I forgot to plug my car in.

 

[fishstix]

If you're going to try licking metal in the cold, use a small object that you can take inside with you when your tongue gets stuck to it. Like a butter knife

 

[Breetai]

Good thinking, I'll try that later tonight

 

[Breetai]

OUCH! Butterknives hurt when they get stuck to your tongue and you pour hot water on it! Now I talk funny.

 

[DWJD]

I guess it was so cold that they didn't want the kids out. I don't know, that's only what I heard.

Why hot water? Just let the knife warm up naturally and it'll unstick

[old grampa voice]Here in the prairies all the children walk uphill 40 miles through 40 feet of snow when the temperature is -500 degrees wearing only a light jacket just for the fun of it.[/old grampa voice]

Ok, maybe not, but we don't get days off of school for cold.

Now you tell me...
