7am est it's -2°C (which is 28°F) ... high of 2°C today. it's been highs of around 10°C most of nov/dec so far

so far we've had NO snow accumulation this winter... eerily odd for these parts of Canada.. Image

by this time in 2008 we'd already had more than 70cm (28") total snowfall for Nov and Dec

by tuesday night or wednesday early morning we are forecast to be getting 10 - 15cm of the white crap

About 14F right now. Supposed to hit 0F tonight. Snow in the mountains, but none here. At least the wind stopped blowing as it started on Saturday and was still whistling when I went to bed last night.

We have a winner ( or loser if you hate cold,lol )

The Canadian Prairies will ALWAYS be the coldest its just the way the arctic air rushes down, unless you are living in the Yukon or Alaska and sometimes even they are not as cold.
