Has this bad weather affected any of our friends across the pond? - view external link

It's been an unusually cold season so far. We've had several nights below 0 degrees F/-18C which don't often see before January or February, and then not every year.

At the moment its 17F/-8C. Had light snow all day yesterday and into the evening, seems to have ended now.

We usually get some bad weather after the North America so get your spades at the ready,

Thank you for asking, Wokes! Quite balmy around here on the West Coast; the temperature was at 7C (44F) over the past few days. Winnipeg and the Prairies seems to have been hit quite hard. Winnipeg (also known as "Winterpeg") had a low expected of -53C last night, though it is right now -30C and climbing to a balmy -26C by noon. I mention Winnipeg because it is the home to canwolfan, who posts here from time to time.

Not unpleasant here, 48-50F in the day 35-38 overnight. Soon to change for me though, just found out that my first job of the year is in Edmonton, Alberta.

Chilly doesn't cover it! :-S
