It's Cold !

-38c with -46 wind chill this morning and kids are in school ???

That seems dangerous to me. If you were to have a automobile breakdown, you are going to freeze to death before someone could help you.
Am I thinking wrong here? I am a warm weather kind of guy down here, but that seems to me like stay at home huddled around the fire kind of weather to me.

Winnipeg is not called Winterpeg here for nothing :laughing:

That's a normal temperature for Manitoba. Kids learn the correct way to dress and behave at an early age.

Either extreme heat or cold can kill, anywhere. IMO, the people most at risk are the ones who've never seen these extreme conditions before as they are often not prepared.

In the Far North, kids don't get a day off school till -60C.

Here is something you don't see everyday.


Tank failure of the LP gas truck at East Chain LP. Christmas day 7 AM.
Failure started at the bottom where the tank fastens to the truck. No
fire but the truck was thrust across the road north into the neighbors field.
Initial thrust would have been about 14,000 lb. per sq, ft. Make your own
quess on how many sq. ft. the opening is to finish the math of total
thrust


at the beginning of truck movement. No one was there when it happened.

We have had incredible weather here in Arizona, I live up in the mountains at 5200 Ft Elevation and our daytime highs have been in the 60's and low's down in the high 20's to low 30's. Next week our highs are going to be in the upper 60's, heck I have been wearing T-Shirts for the last three weeks.

-36°F this morning (4:30 AM) on the way to work, according to the thermometer on the truck. No clue about the windchill, but there was a breeze, so I'm guessing it was nearing the -45° to -50° range.
