Just stopped here, first time in 24 hours... Already -2 outside... (probably that's tropical compared to some of you good folk)...

The other night whilst I was in bed with Seigfried ( my teddy ) a neighbour was out and he says it was -8.5 in the cul de sac ... Ouch!

You should try 6-7 months of it.......

Can't believe the pics on here......was never this exciting for at least the last 20 years of living in Britain.......

Yeah but we can't organise a piss up in a brewery over here when it comes to snow and the roads

A girl in our work,her Mum lives in Canada.She said,her Mum said it was -35 over there.

True.
UK tyres leave a lot to be desired as well.
I came out here with Marshall's on Moneypit and they were absolutely crap....had the 'pit side on going up a hill while Mrs Lofty followed behind in a Chevy lumina mini van (think Renault Espace on steroids) with absolutely no slipping/sliding at all on "all season tyres"......that was embarassing.....

So true

Thats probably out West (Alberta and Saskatchwan).....coldest I have experienced in Ontario is minus 28 with a wind chill factor of minus 42........that hurt the face parts that were exposed.......

Stoopidest thing I have done is brush snow off the windscreen with bare hands at minus 18....not clever.....you instantly lose all feeling in them , it hurts like hell and can't get them warmed up again for ages......only done it the once though.........
Had the pleasure of changing the drive belt on one of the wife's Pub kitchen exhaust extractor fans in minus 20.....that was feckin awful and not an experience I wanna repeat in a hurry !

I,ll ask her tomorrow where her Mum lives??
Us Brits moan,but we are just not use to cold weather.It,s also a damp cold here,if you know what I mean?
When I was at Mont-Blanc,it was a dry cold.A little more bearable.
