  1. Worst part of living in the mid-west…. the brutal cold snaps every winter. Makes a person just want to hibernate.

  2. Geez I remember when it was just called very cold so you had to dress warmer and be prepared. Now it’s like this has never happened before. It isn’t pleasant but part of life here in Manitoba in winter

  3. When I was a kid, these temps were the norm, then about 20 years ago our winters warmed up and we got comfy with the “warm” winters in AB. It seems we are reverting back to the cold winters again and we’re not ready for them. For Albertans this is a way of life hot summers, cold winters. For BC however, they are just not getting a break. They’re getting hit with everything possible from bomb cyclones to catastrophic floods and now a brutal cold snap. Stay safe, stay warm.

  4. Coastal BC isn’t used to this much cold and snow. But considering we had almost 3 months of hot weather in the summer, our winter will be much colder then normal, which also means snow, as we usually just get rain.

  5. Coldess I’ve ever been was 0 deg working in rain. I got soaked and it took hours in a warm bath to warm-up. When you hear the snow crunch under your boots and you are dressed for it, it’s fine.

  6. I remember when we were warned that skin can freeze in 3 minutes, and I decided that I didn’t need to go to the store that bad.

  7. Stay strong my lovely Canadians in Alberta, Edmonton & Manitoba. Sending love from BC – Summer will soon be here and we can all enjoy the beautiful Canadain summer once again.
