Being cold in winter is kind of our specialty up here. The north of Quebec after all shares a border with freaking Labrador and I don't even want to think about how cold it gets in Labrador.
We're being descended upon by a cold front for the rest of the week. Arctic air is not as much fun in real life as it is in a gum flavor! Montreal is south of me and they usually get slightly milder weather.
They're saying that tomorrow, they will see temperatures there of -33
C. And apparently the mercury in Montreal hasn't gone past -30 since
1994!
Now for us, our maximum temperature - that means the HIGH for the day - for Friday and Saturday is projected at -25 C. Wheee. I don't really want to think about what fun North Quebec (if you look on a map - that vast expanse next to Ontario where almost nobody lives) must be having.
Currently, they're saying winds of 45kph (if you don't do metric, search "45kph in mph" on google) with gusts up to 60.
And guess who, in her great wisdom, decided that today would be a great time for a grocery run? And I don't have any long johns! Guess I'll be wearing my pj pants under my jeans!

I think I'd be calling 911 for a grocery run if I lived there. I simply don't "do" cold. I know I'm spoiled. -

DD: I bundled up nice and warm! The unbundled parts (my face mainly lol) were miserable but the rest was nice and toasty!
TIO: you know it's cold when you get an ice-cream headache from the wind hitting your face! Even up here this is considered "bad weather" so it's not like this all the time!
U-I: I don't think it's being spoiled! Tolerances like that are different from person to person and there's not a whole lot we can do about it. Even when I was a baby, my parents would be getting chilly, putting on sweaters, they'd come to bundle me up and I'd be in my crib sweating with the blankets kicked off ;)
My dad says my preferences will probably change as I get older, but I don't know about that. For now I'd still rather live in a cold climate than a hot one. As I always say, you can bundle on as many layers as you want to stay warm, but when it's hot out, there's a limit to how naked you can get to stay cool!

We had a winter weather advisory going on and the roads were really slick this morning. But, as with anything, there was a pretty side to it. I snapped a photo that I thought I would share with you.This is the view from my back porch... read entire post
