After gale force winds the last few days, we had more than a few severe wind warnings, it was nice and sunny today with temps in the 50s. :)

It's been cold here this weekend, yesterday it dropped to a high of -28°C with a windchill of 38°C. Last night it snowed a tad & the wind picked up. Had to shovel the bloody snow drifts this morning & the wind doesn't help. We are at -20°C right now with a windchill of -31°C & the roads are a mess again from the drfting snow.

Getting warmer for a few days so they say, tommorow -3°C & by Friday 1°C then we drop again.

You don't really believe those long range forecasts do you?  They're pure BS and completely meaningless.  They have us above freezing by week's end as well.  They're probably only off by 30 degrees on the minus side ::) - oh check that, they changed the long range to high of -26 and low of -37.  A little more realistic.  Stupid frickin' rodent saw his shadow.

And all your whining just shows Albertans are pussies :-*  We haven't seen anything but -40 or worse windchills for over a week.  Blizzard warning for two days then it was downgraded to just a windchill warning for the past two.  -28 C right now, but -42 C with the windchill.  Beautiful sunny skies and the wind isn't THAT bad, only around 20 kmh but you'll freeze your nads off pretty quickly.

Well ****, put your pants on.  Jesus, don't they arrest people in Manitoba for that?  ::)

Ok, this is getting tiresome.  After creeping up to a whopping 20 F yesterday, we're back to where we were the day before and the three-four weeks previous.  Forecast tonight with the windchill.  -54 F.  Yay us.

-54 F , ouch is right.

We had around 3 inches of snow last night, just enough to make the roads crappy again.  >:(

More flurries tommorow but just a trace & if that long range forecast holds out that Brent hates, we should be above 0°C all the way into next week (Friday 4°C).  :o

Nice melt down but we go back into the ******* later on.  :-\

As for the rodent that saw his shadow, makes good soup!  :P

Well so much for that forecast of 4°C today, we hit a wopping 9°C:o   :o

It rained a bit last night & I was not looking forward to scrapping the car windows but it just slid off. The roads are a major mess, water all over the place & nowhere for it to go. The snow is just slushy & ya better have lots of windshield fluid.

Nice weather for our long weekend here, think I'll have to have a BBQ.  ;D

A very nice long weekend, 4°C right now. I was just cleaning up a bit around the house moving some snow that I could finally get done. I had no windshield fluid going through the car so it was nice enough to work on that. Bloody hose connecting to the T-piece came off & would not go back in. I had to impervise & use a tube from a foam in a can nozzle, fit like a charm & some electrical tape & all is good.

Rest of the week is looking good thus far, hovering around 0°C then cooler.

We're fluctuating in and out of a windchill warning - again. 

This continues to suck.  Saturday - up to -4 C/28 F.  But guess what?  Freezing rain, sleet.  Mushed up the roads just in time for the next day when we dropped down below -40 F again with the windchill.  Whoop.  Next three days: windchills around the -40 to -45 F range.  Yay. 

Tiresome as my posts, this has become.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we're 'in' again.  Balmy morning, -47 F with the wind.  Brrrrr.

Calgary was up to 10 C/50 F today :o  Too bad I can't afford to move there.  Still cruising along at -47.2 F right now.  It's just stoopid cold.   8)

Good things about the cold:

-streets aren't slippery, too cold to snow
-no crime, too cold to go out
-no colds, germs can't even survive in this crap.  Really, hardly anyone I know, including school kids, are sick right now.  It's hilarious. 
-shopping is easier, everyone is holed up inside and won't go out

Gas mileage sucks arse though, getting about 70-75% what I get in the summer.
