The Americans are just killing me with their histrionics the last week.
It's a Super Duper Polar Tornado/Tsunami Vortex!!!
Well thats the point most arent used to it being this bitterly cold. Obviously you guys get it every winter, thus hockey as the national sport cause everybody's pond froze over. annd please when you throw out histrionics thats the media which in no way represent a normal cross section of the American thought process any more.
Up here in Canada it's called.......winter.
Nah, blowing things up out of all proportion is the American way. Look at the NFL, jet sqaudrins flying over , fireworks and the whole shebang.
Watch how over the top the media is about everything.
It's the American way to be grandiose.
Not a huge issue and trust me I dont hate the US or its citizens like some of the other non-US posters around here, but it's ok to take a little neighborly ribbing.

Going on day 5 here in northern Ontario of -40 to -50c nights and days.
Today started off at -35c and currently its -41c and -49c with the windchill.
It’s expected to drop below -50c tonight.
I don’t know how many people have ever felt -50 weather. But it literally hurts.
When I was working in the Arctic we had a full day of -62c.
Walking from my bunkhouse to the smoke shack, I swore I could feel my eyeballs starting to freeze up.

They aren't the same until you start to reach subzero temps. When it gets to -40 F, then it's equivalent to -40 C. However, 0 C which is freezing, is equivalent to 32 F.
The colder it gets, the closer they get to each other.
While we have a very, very nasty storm sideswiping us here where I am in Alberta, it's been a very nice, balmy 0 to 2 C today! No snow yet, but the warnings are out. Edmonton is getting hammered by very heavy snow apparently.
I'm pretty done with winter to be honest. Very tired of shoveling snow off the walk. I'm just glad we got the truck fixed. Walking the hour long walk to work at 6 am when it's icy and -20 C is NOT fun.

No need for the Canadian apologies, LOL I have had nothing but positive personal and business dealings with out brethren to the north. Certainly cant say that for my own countrymen, so maybe I'll leave the social commentary right there. Yea we are like that one friend who can be loud and obnoxious and honestly a little full of themselves, but when you got 2 or 3 guys about to start some # with you, its always that guy thats right there behind you backing you up.
