Tomorrows forecast: -44

Yup -42 degrees celcius or -44 fahrenheit.

That is sick. My trucks antifreeze is good to -25. My body's antifreeze is good to -30, anything colder than that and I don't leave my house for any reason.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that winter is FAR from over up here in Saskabush

PS: I know how to get rid of that sticker now, I'll take the sled out and it'll probably freeze off tomorrow.

The worst I remember here was in the early 1990's in got down to -52 (f) we made the national news on good morning America. Well it is -21 f right now. To me anything colder than about -15 I can't really feel the difference that much cold ass cold is what it is, I know when it's below minus 15 because it hurts to breath outside tickles your lungs.

Its -35f right now. This temp isnt uncommon for here. Time to go fishin'!

Plug your truck in, leave it for about 2hrs, and it will fire right up.

I was sledding at -10 last night, but -20 is about my limit for playing outside. Even ice fishing is brutal when you have to go outside to take a leak.
