That really sucks. The week before christmas my family lost power so I stayed at a friends house. Unfortunately his heater was broken and we all sat around huddled in blankets.Clemenstation said:

Haha ya. The only thing that could make this day better is if my gamefly game would arrive.forever saturday said:
It's actually nice and warm here this week, I love living in a Chinook zone. However it'll probably drop to a nice and frickin freezing temperature before too long.
I'm in the Northeast US, and it's -17 right now on my campus. 
I'm struggling, even though I'm used to really effing cold weather. I think they should cancel it when it gets bad enough for there to be a public safety issue, like ruining tires, or uh, maybe shriveling up into a tiny ball just walking to the next building.
It's really hard to call though. My old high school canceled once when it hit -30 and the pipes were in danger of freezing, I believe.
Where is global warming when you need it?

Was it wet or just the inherent moisture? Cause I've had my hair freeze when I walked to class in temperatures around 15 degrees right after taking a shower. Of course it was about a mile from the dorms to the classroom so it had plenty of time. Here in Rochester the schools rarely close. Only if it's like 25 below or there's 2 feet of snow since a lot of the city kids walk to school.Erana said:
Your school closed for temperature? Sweet jesus where do you live, I must move there. Yesterday we should have atleast had a delay because there was about 3 inches of snow on the ground, but we had a snow day last week so the bastard idiots who are in charge of my school district decided to go ahead and have a full day of school even though the buses were sliding around the roads and a lot of them were late. Today I think the wind chill was around -5 this morning, but I don't think we would lose school for temperature.
we had -35C wednesday and my school closed... then we had -38C thursday and now we're at -35C again. School has been closed for 3 days straight!! In Northern Ontario anyway... (though I heard that Sudbury, which is an hour away, wasn't closing school.)kanada514 said:
apparently me and I Ancient I live somewhere in the vicinity of each other. for the past 2 days, it has been -40 (C or F, same thing) with the windchill putting it to -45 c. But thats not that bad, in the end of december, we had an extremely long cold snap that lasted over 20 days where the temperature didn't get above -25 c, one day dipping into the record books with a -55 c. That was but ass cold, and I still had to write finals during the entire thing.

HAHAHAHA! Pansy! Yesterday, I had school. It was -28 air temp (At the lowest) yesterday, and with windchill, it was -50. ALL DAY!
Oh, and we broke our old record yesterday. It was our coldest. Today is 6 above at highest and -30 with windchill... And I work today. (I push carts out to peoples cars...)
I'd have to travel far to experience the debilitating temperatures for my make.
-10°C is annoying, but you can still go for a jog if you're covered.
-30°C is detestable, but pouring jugs of water onto the sidewalk to make miniskating rinks is fun.
-40°C, yeah, thereabouts. (-40° is where Fahrenheit and Celsius Converge)
School is closed if there's one foot of snow overnight. Vancouver is a bit more used to Snow than Toronto apparently. Last year the city was basically shut down due to an inch of snow.
