Baby its cold outside ............

You probably won't believe this..
It was only -15c today which is like a "heat spell" for us.. We went out for a walk with the dog for a good 45 minutes.. If tomorrow is as warm as today, I will be putting on my cross country skiies and going out for at least one hour if not more.. I put on my skies just outside the front door and start out down the driveway and then on the back road for about 30 minutes and turn around to go home..
C'Mon this is the best part of winter ... Simply georgous weather.. -15c up to -10c is glorious...

Take your camera with!!! wwp.gif
 
PROBLEM !!!!
I don't own a camera ........................
I have an old one that takes film and my son gave me one of those cameras that you can see the picture before you take it..

I don't know how to use it properly...
 

Feel sorry for us had 40+for three days, it's forecast for at least another 3 days Over 40. Don't like weather that hot
I did hear on the radio this morning how your county is freezing
 
Woke up early this morning (Friday) to go to Sudbury for medical purposes for me this time..
Princess decided to stay home as it wasn't an important visit to the doctor, otherwise she would of come..
The appointment was for 10:00am, so I left Massey at 8:30ish to get there in time.. It is about 60 to 75 minutes away from our house..

I heard it was going to be very cold overnight, so I plugged in the car to be able to start in the morning without trouble.. About 30 minutes before I was ready to leave, I went outside to start the car to warm it up a bit before leaving.. I just let it idle on its own.. It started OK, but not as fast as usual..

When I got into the car to leave, I noticed on the DIC (drivers information center) that the outside temperature was -42c ..... I knew it was cold, but not that cold.. Now, that is the temperature and not the windchill..
While driving to Sudbury, I had the local radio station on and they announced that all school buses in the north were cancelled due to the extreme cold.. Schools were open but no buses..
The dic registered -38c all the way into Sudbury..
Today was the coldest day this winter.....
Newstime on TV, many records were broken for the coldest day so far with some towns reporting a -55c temperature............
These temperatures are NOT the windchill factor, but the actual outside temperature.. There was almost no wind to go with the cold, but it was cold enough without a wind to make things worse......
 
Nancy..
Spring won't come till the middle of April.. Even that is quite early.. End of April to the mid May is average for spring..
We don't plant anything in the vegetable garden till the first weekend in June as there will (for sure) be a frost to kill everything....

As I write this post, it is snowing just very lightly which we call a dusting.. This broke the extreme cold and it is now only -18c which is wonderful..
This weekend we are having our Winter Carnival in our village and the mild temperature is going to bring out most of our village.. Today the high is supposed to be only -16c which is like a "heat spell"...
 
It is the 27th of February and tonight the temperature will drop down to -36c.....

This is a few degrees below normal.. This winter has been a real cold one..
 
Finally........................................... .............................
I didn't have to plug in the vehicles last night.........
Not as cold as it was.. It is only -20c overnight and for the near future, it is warming up slowly...
Daytime temperatures will be around the -5c to -10c mark which is like spring....
 
Finally the temperature has warmed up..
The high daily is up to the minus single digits.. -4c to -8c during the daytime..
Now that's warm !!!!!
 
I'll Be Away For A While.....!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been very active in the past week or so and the reason is my wife (Annmarie) whom I call my Princess is having a knee operation on the 26th of March in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario..
Her knee has been problematic for some time so the orthopedic specialist has decided to give her a new knee..
We have been busy getting the house in shape to receive her back home with a walker among other items such as a transfer seat for the bath tub, 2 raised toilet seats and 2 walkers..
She is scheduled to return home on Sunday the 29th..
I will be driving the truck (Ford F 150) instead of our new car which is a Chevrolet Sonic because of the height of the vehicle, the fact the truck will be easier to get into and most of all, the weather.. They are calling for up to 20 cms of snow for Wednesday (our travelling day) as well as snow for the few days we will be there..
She took of me when I had both hips replaced and my shoulder replaced, so now it is my turn..

Upon our return, I will post her condition, however taking care of my Princess is priority..

Good luck for your wife's surgery on the 26th. I hope her recovery goes well as she hopes. I presume you'll have a wheelchair to get her in and out of the car because of the snow :)

Seems it's going to be hospital for a few people this week..both me and another member of this forum ( I'll protect her privacy in case she hasn't already made it public on the forum) are facing surgery this coming Monday ...so let's hope all of us make good recoveries.. :D

I wish you all the best in your upcoming ordeal. . . .although with your upbeat attitude you'll find it a "piece of cake".
 
Sending best wishes for successful surgery and speedy healing for your Princess, Steve. Also a safe journey for you and her.
