You want to talk cold, my friends?
Right now, in my city, it is - 32 degrees celsius, with windchill making it -51. For the Americans in the room...-26 degrees fahrenheit, with a windchill of -60.

Fuck!

1. Holy crap.

17. University of Saskatchewan.
The name of the university in Saskatoon is the University of Saskatchewan. It's a really nice University...a great looking campus. I've been there several times.

You know it's cold when you get ice fog.

18. You win! Cancelled schools here tomorrow because of extreme cold. -26F.
Right now the windchill is minus 30. Howling winds and partly sunny.

Temps still plunging. Too dangerous to send the kids out in this.

20. Thanks.
I'm sure that's where our cold is coming from here in Minnesota.

-20°C with -37°C wind chill.

Not as cold as you, but we always get that cold weather from you and Alberta.

23. That is cold. Here in the tropics ...
of southern Michigan, it's about 50F, dropping to 15 tonight. Nice and toasty.

Anyway, you say there's more than one city in Saskatchewan? Now I'll have to get out the atlas and learn something ...
