When I wake up in the mornings I check my little weather station for the outside temperature. Today it read "--.--" That translates to "it's really frickin' cold out." I forgot the weather station only goes to -29.99. That's the coldest it's been since I got it last christmas. Previous to that the coldest temp was sometime last february when it got down to -26 for an hour or so.
Anywho, I looked online and the temperature reporting for Stonewall was -38 and with the windchill it was -48.
Minus 48.
What the hell is up with that. Apparently that's the coldest it's been here in two years.
I wonder sometimes what the voyageurs were thinking when they decided to set up shop at the meeting of the Red and Assiniboine River. Summer not so bad. Winter... not so good.
Then again it's like this across the prairies, except in Calgary they get their little chinooks to help out.
Oh well, it's cold and we deal with it. Just try to remember it's a "dry cold.". Still cold enough to take your ***** off.
