Ya, there's nothing here in Hamilton, it's -2, and we still have green grass outside. It's been a couple off odd winters here the past few years. Last winter I only had to shovel the driveway twice, yet as a kid I remember trick-or-treating in the snow.....

Yeah that's the thing about Canada at least every city here has had snow sometime in it's existence.

But I'm not American. I come from the same place as history.

Good to see MR representing for NH. I remember one winter we lived in an old house with bad insulation, and in the spring we had 8"+ thick ice sheets coming off. Could have easily killed someone. We had one land standing up in the snowbank on our front stairs*, and it made a four-foot high wall.

*In NH most people don't tranditionally use our front doors; we use the side or kitchen door.

There are two types of people I will listen to complain about the cold:

People from Siberia and Echo Base Troopers.

Yeah, he is. Here's a picture of him.

I want some bagpipes.

Sorry for the insult Mr Mystery, your flag came up as American

I are not sees picture? I are not Red X!

Pah!

Cold, is capsizing a pair, on the thames, when the air is -3, and the only reason that the water hasn't frozen is the crud dissolved in it, so the water is about -3 as well.

That Is Cold.

I fell through a frozen pond with a buddy of mine when we were about 13ish. That was easily the worst pain Ive ever felt in my life. Those people that willingly go swimming in it, are just nuts

Word. Heres a handy reference for how Canadians* describe cold (tempurature in celsius):

0-> -10, no windchill: Shorts weather
0-> -10, with Good windcill: Bracing
-11-> -20, no windchill: Nippy
-11-> -20, with Good windcill: Time to zip up the jacket
-21-> -30, no windchill: Chilly
-21-> -30, with Good windcill: Cold
Below -30: Freezing
Exposed Flech freezes in 10 minutes: Pretty Cold. Time to put a scarf on.
Exposed Flech Freezes in 5 minutes: Darn Cold.
Exposed Flesh Freezes in 2 Minutes: What's this "Global Warming" ?

*Does not apply in Victoria, or the Greater Vancouver District.

I for one do not have any desire to freeze my ass off in some godforsaken land of ice and misery to prove my "manliness".
I'd much rather be manly on a sunny, pristine beach somewhere in the Caribbean.
