Actually even then, I don't think we'd close down a school..

No, they close them. You can't run a building with hundreds of people without running water.

It's neither cold enough, nor do we have enough snow. We had a good amount just before new year and then it rained for 3 days, ruining the slopes .
Guess I'll have to suffer and go to Whistler instead...

-15c. Clear blue sky. Just enough snow to make it look like winter, 7meters p/s wind to make people feel it is winter. Hot cup of coffee. A PERFECT winterday!

Drove to work this morning and had fun making the car skid and listening to Ramones on full blast!!!!

One thing though; I absolutely hate scraping the car windows in the morning!

If you live near Stockholm and its -28 I concede victory. The cold there is even worse. In Östersund it is at least dry enough.

I lived in Stockholm for about a year and half. I remember the winter there is quite mild. I live in Vancouver Canada at the moment, and although the tempurature doesn't hit below 0 often, believe me the humidity will take that chill right to your bones.

Kids over here get it too easy. Most of them have spent the last 3-4 days sledging, building snowmen, terrorising the elderly etc..

I agree...I know a few ex's of mine were quite worm and they defiantly turned out to be witches....or maybe that was Bit*hes.....

as for the weather it has been averaging -4 to -9ish over here in little old Dublin...one thing to be said, it makes to city look very beautiful indeed.

Stockholm indeed?! Nice! Well depends on when you were here - Stockholm'er since many years - but it has been a row of sloppy and mild winters now, this is the first one for ages with real cold. Often it goes right from snow to some kind of grayish-brownish and salty mud who wrecks everything. But now - just add Bing Crosby and you've got the post card.

They'd just shut off a section of the water main, redirect the water and call it a day...in a big city, I doubt they'd let something like that be a problem for more than a few hours (fixing it entirely would take a long while though).

just how cold is witch's mammary glands? do cold mammary glands necessarily make a woman a witch like not sinking in a pond? most of them i had chance to hold were rather warm even if the owner ended up being less than a lady.

Not really sure how that expression came to be..

Schools here are usually closed for a day or two when that happens. I doubt it's any different in Edmonton.

Well, thank God for global warming...

[XKAgustin]

Yep, guess I'm not moving away from Hawai'i after all...

[bellson]

-17 Celcius here in Chicago and we still fight over our parking space. Guess we break our backs to shovel snow for no goddam others. It is the Chicago's way.

[engideNedmupe]

-17C is a fine winter day.

[Assauraarguck]

I realise this was a while back, but I'm still recovering.

For those of you who don't want to check it out, on December 15th Edmonton reached -46 degrees and -58 with the wind chill O__o
