Default ---- alberta weather.

---- hit -52 degrees celcius today. Blowing ------- snow everywhere. No plug ins at work. The civic barely started and when it did it pulsed from 1000rpm to 3500rpm which I couldn't control, even with playing with the gas pedal. Whatever.

This weather is retarded.

That's pretty ------- cold. The coldest I've ever felt was about 0* Farenheit (-18 c) and it was pretty miserable.

funny thing about it... Where a couple of our service rigs are, it hit -60+. The truck engines are running with 2 oil pan heaters and 2 block heaters!

How the hell does someone survive in such extreme cold? I can't imagine a Honda Civic even starting in that cold. I can't imagine walking outside in that cold. You guys must dress in 10 layers and cover yourself head to toe. I also can't imagine how much it costs to keep your house at a moderate temperature.

Today was around 43* here. I can easily live with that.

I call BS, Edmonton was -32, Calgary was -32, Yellowknife was -44, PG Were I am was -36. So unless you had SUSTAINED winds of 50km/h+ you were not that cold. Iirc the Environment Canada forecast was like 20km/h winds across Alberta.

An easy way to tell if it is below -50C is when you spit it will make a cracking noise when it hits the ground, as it freezes on contact.

I lived in Edmonton for 16 years, I am well aware of the weather. :1
