sterling 1,990 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Tis cold here again. It's been cold here the entire last month minus two days. I see weather in the east is bad too, but you guys bitch and whine about stuff we get on a weekly basis here. Last winter didn't end until May. I'm going to go somewhere warm in February, fuck this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 10,549 Posted January 5, 2014 Admin Share Posted January 5, 2014 I assumed people die in weather colder than -2 Celsius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I assumed people die in weather colder than -2 Celsius. -2 Celsius? I'm from Pennsylvania and even I can handle colder weather than that. diamond_ace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling 1,990 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I've had Ford Rangers for 6 years now and they are easily one of the most solid vehicles on the market for the price. Damn shame they aren't making them right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,549 Posted January 5, 2014 Admin Share Posted January 5, 2014 -2 celsius? isn't that like 28 F?It was an exaggeration. But I can't recall one time I experience anything as low as even -10 in Vancouver or the UK. It's been colder in Latvia but I have only come to visit there since the age of 5.

Guest Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Worst I've seen in Vancouver since being here is -10. That was ages ago too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munk 1,298 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It gets pretty bad in Calgary, we beat our own record of 112 years back in December for snow. Thankfully we get chinooks winds though so we get small breaks once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devise 4,475 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It gets pretty bad in Calgary, we beat our own record of 112 years back in December for snow. Thankfully we get chinooks winds though so we get small breaks once in awhile. Yeah it hasn't dropped super cold here like -52 or anything crazy like that. Coldest it was when I went outside to the store late one night was -38 Celsius. Don't recall what part of the city you live in but down here in the South End the snow has been crazy. Our back parking area and back alley is one giant snow drift. Consistently cold as well, like -15 to -25 on a daily basis unless it's a warm chinook day and tons of snow.

STZ 5,286 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's -35 here tonight.. That'll probably be as cold as she gets for the winter. It's been ridiculous for temperature fluctuation though, makes for shitty road conditions. Had to get my neighbor to pull me out of my driveway last week because it was pure ice lololol...
