Re: An FML day in the making

Toronto's had it pretty easy this year; I don't seem to recalll having a high go below -10 Celcius, not including wind chills (which have gone down to ~-18) and lows (-16ish). Worst i've seen was a week where it went a week in the -30s. I'm enjoying the weather right now to be honest.

Re: An FML day in the making

all of you guys saying that he's exaggerating: pull up a map of Canada with today's temperatures and you'll see that a large majority of northern Canada is -30 celsius or lower. <_<

Re: An FML day in the making

I can attest to the freezing cold temperatures we've been having for the past few days. It's been ridiculous (and a rude awakening from my return from California).

Today was -25C here with a windchill of -33C. Basically, you run as fast as you can from one building/shelter to the next. There's the very rare occasion where it might go below -40C (i.e. -40F) here too - in which case, you try to avoid going outside at all costs. You literally will get frostbite within 10 minutes of skin exposure. Usually it's the wind that brings the temperatures down immensely and makes any day a magnitude more miserable. Oh, if only more Americans could relate to this...

There's absolutely no exaggeration to this.

Re: An FML day in the making

It's often ~-22C here. It isn't all that bad lol, just bundle up.

HOW TO SURVIVE A CANADIAN WINTER:
1) If you're going outside, have at least 3 layers of clothing on your torso. T-shirt, sweater, heavy coat works; it's what I do all the time. Make sure you have good gloves.
Either have at least 2 pairs of socks on or have winter boots.
If it's stupid cold, like now, break out your long johns. That's what they're for.

2) Have something to cover your ears and nose. If you get stuck outside, these will be the first to fall off, assuming you have gloves. Toques look ridiculous but they work, and there are all sorts of earmuffs available. Use an actual scarf as necessary.

3) Use buildings liberally. If there are pedways EVERYWHERE, you better damn well use them and love them. If you don't have to leave home, don't. Follow the weather forecast and when the time comes, make like everybody else in a mad hoarding rush to the nearest grocery store.

4) Invest in a snowblower or a really good chiropractor.

5) The last thing you want to do is break a sweat, or, heaven forbid, have your hair still wet from a shower. DRY OFF COMPLETELY AFTER THE GYM/SHOWER/BOTH.

6) Personal experience: shave. Not much is more annoying than a frozen moustache/beard. Unless you're a chick. In which case the extra fur won't hurt.

7) Help your buddy make their igloo once you have yours up. The standard reward is to share a case of beer, in case you have a buddy help you with your igloo. Remember, the ideal shape is hemispherical.

8) Tim mother****ing Horton's.

9)

I went to grab my coat I noticed that it wasn't there.

Don't lose your coat.

10) Vacation in Florida until June, go back in July.

Re: An FML day in the making

It was -1 (-18C) here sunday night, besides January 09 when it dropped to -15 (-26C) is was the coldest I've ever felt. It was 65 degrees new years day, lol.

But yeah, like bmah said -40 is pretty damn cold to be outside in period...

10) Vacation in Florida until June, go back in July.

1) Yup, I wear two jackets these days plus the usual sweater and undershirt.

2) The ears get cold really fast, so yeah, wear something like earmuffs, an earband, or a toque. Scarf is good too.

3) Such as a college campus. (though ****ing construction blocks pathways)

4) Snowblower, yup. No other option with heavy snowfall. Good luck trying to shovel 2-3ft of snow.

5) You always get these too cold or too hot sensations, due to differences in outside temperature and the immense amount of clothing layers you wear as you enter a warmer place. There's no in-between, and it certainly doesn't feel great.

6) Fun fact: if your eyes are watering, and you close your eyes outside, they can be easily frozen shut. At the very least, you'll feel something "sticky", which is the water freezing right in front of your eyes.

7) Or you can just go to Dewey's.

8) Most Americans don't know of TH. It's a breakfast-lunch chain to fatten you up with donuts. Hopefully the extra layer of fat you gain will insulate your body.

9) OP, this man knows what he's talking about.

10) Get outta here. x[
