Well, it’s 18C where I’m sitting, but outside, it’s -13C in Toronto. I’m not complaining at all - we’ve had a very mild winter so far, and I know folks back west have had a pretty cold go of it already.

You Calgary/Edmonton/Saskatoon/Regina/Winnipeg folks, those clear blue skies in winter are something I really miss. Brandon, my home town, was never so beautiful as when the mercury was frozen solid and the sky was a shade of blue to suck your soul out through your eyes…

Oh, yeah, we have coats. And gloves and hats and stuff. We just don’t usually get cold in December. This is more like “that really shitty week in February” weather.

ETA - oh, and it _smells_ here at the public library, lest you were wondering. God. Good thing working here burned all my nostril hairs off long ago.

Right now, it’s -15C here, somewhere in Scandinavia. A bit down since the weekend, when we had -3C and snow, but we’ve had this kind of temps (-10C - -20C) the last three weeks.

We never bother with calculating wind chill factors 🆒

An aside on a somewhat-related note; a couple of years ago I printed out a side-by-side list of a range of temperatures in F and C for quick reference. I use it all the time on these boards (since ONE country, not naming names, refuses to go metric 😃 ).
