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! )

Regards,
Gordon

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
