Ladies and gentlemen, we have -41 weather.

What's that you say? "Stop adding in the windchill to make it impressive," you say?

Oh no. That's without windchill. With windchill it's -50.

I am strategizing my outfit so that I don't actually die out there...

zomg, when canadian winters attack

I read this post out to my boyfriend, clarifying, "Celsius".

I got to the part where you said "-50". And he said, "Farenheit?"

Because apparently "-50" where human beings live will not register in his brain as possible. :D

PLEASE. WEAR. A BAJILLION LAYERS.

Or, you know, STAY INDOORS.

Well, aaactually... Fahrenheit and Celsius equalize at -40, right? So -50 Celsius flings you right out the other side at -58 Fahrenheit. Mwuahahaha.

I was considering driving up instead of walking, but there's no way in hell the car would ever start again after being parked outside in this. Never fear, though! I have long underwear and gloves that I wear under my other gloves. *g*

I thought all you Canucks had jump leads and block heaters to attach to your car engines? PLEASE DO NOT DIE.

Alas, I only tricked it out with winter tires and a survival kit!

Surely that's an institutionalisable offence? Dear lord. D: I feel like I ought to mail you herb-bags to microwave and stuff into your pockets.

It's warmed up to a balmy -23 now and I have never been more grateful for that in my life! (I had the sidewalk all to myself... I think everybody else in the world must have been taking the bus today. *g*)

When I am rich I am flying you to live on the goddamn equator. I swear my heart stops every time the temperature gets below -25.
