I just heard the forcast for tomorow night -30c (-22f) with a windchill of -45c (-50.5f)

the whole month has sucked!

 

Yeh, it does. Haven't driven my 8 since before Christmas. I don't mind the cold weather, its the snow that sucks!

 

That is COLLLLDDDDD !! In Toronto on Thursday, we're supposed to get a high of +10C (+50F), only 100F warmer than your nightime low :D

I could not handle some of the temperatures you get out there. And I'm pretty sure my 8 wouldn't like it either.

 

Man that's brutal, I recall those Calgary chills. Does a plug-in block heater work well on the rotary 8 when it's -40c? Yet, you've got Banff...Sunshine V and LL in close proximity, so the rest of us can only wish for such magnificent trails. Would love to drive an 8 into the Rockies....lol.

 

Calgary might be cold this week, but guaranteed it's colder in Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg! :D We only get short cold snaps that aren't quite as cold, those other Prairie cities get deep freezes that can last months.

(Gotta look on the bright side! )

It seems like this whole moth has been very cold.....I should have gone to mexico when I had the chance.

 

It was cold here this morning... -7 by my place :-)

 

This is what you get when you don't pay taxes in Calgary! LOL

 

Thats not cold!
That's just an excuse to kill more cones!
SNOWcones! :D

Ahhhhahahhaa........hahhaaa.......ahhhhhaaaaahahah aa....... Whoooo...I'm sorry....I don't mean to laugh so hard.......but I have no sympathy! MOVE! :D haha.....no, really, it's funny. You live up north, in Canada, and you're complaining about the cold? Now come on? California has something to complain about! The Tsunamia areas have something to complain about! Canada being cold isn't exactly unforseen! :D Ok....I'm done, I just thought it was funny! Have some fun, build a snow man!

 

That's funny coming from someone who lives in Ohio...isn't that the cakehole or the United States?

 

^^^ Naw....that'd be Alabama! :D

 

Geez, Ray, you've worn off ALL the paint on the corners of the nose! You're supposed to go around the cones, not over the cones!

Gord, if they die, they die!

When Ralph has his gi-normous 'berta bbq, that should warm it up a tad out there. Kidding! Seriously, geez, what a rotten break for the entire Cdn. Cattle industry.
Got up to +15 in my part of Durham Region..like Ontario March Break weather..plunging on downwards at this very moment... c/w freezing rain. Keeping Rex in his stable.
Ah well, off to Puerto Vallarta on Wed...life is a bitch.

 

Let me but this in the kindest most gentle way.....**** off! (j/k) :D




I'm not off to Mexico till November.

 

I've never been so it'll be an adventure. My great wife is taking me for my 65th -last year-Xmas etc. etc. I'll know she has another agenda if she drops me off there .But wth, I'll have the 8 when I get back.. I hope? :D

 

Ah... 8 days and counting... Cruise... Bahamas... If only I could speed up the days...

 

Geez, you guys, get your own thread! We're talking about the COLD here! :p

Regards,
Gordon

 

nothing like rubbing salt into an exposed wound!

 

Yeah, but I am living with the cold too.... Just wait, I hear that it's looking like a Chinook is on it's way. 7 above by Tuesday... for the rest of next week... Thank God.. Not looking forward to getting my baby dirty with the melting, but..... at least we can be driving again comfortably.

 

Going diving next weekend in Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. 300 ' walls straight down on coral reefs...BUT given the choice, would rather be running the Ptarmigan at Lake Louise

 

Hey, are you into diving, my buddy runs a dive shop in Subic Bay Freeport, Zambales Philippines. (sort of close)

 

-30? Man I would kill for that weather right now. Thats tanning weather in Winnipeg.

 

Cool...can you pass me his email or contact info? Always interested in talking to dive shop owners because they know the best places in their area to dive.
