You have my sympathy. I don't mind winter, but our winter temperatures
are usually in the 20-30 F range. Last night it got down near 0. Back
in 1976 I went out to Winnipeg to look for work. I got off the plane to
discover that it was -40 F or C. It's the same. Most people out there
told me it didn't usually get that cold until later in the winter. It
didn't matter to me. If it ever got down to -40 it was too cold a place
for me to live.

People also told me that it's not bad if you dressed for it. I pointed
out that there was no one outside. People around here dress for the
cold and go outside. Out there thy get bundled up to run to the car.
