Re: -50C Today
To top things off when I got this morning it was 19C in my house because the furnace quit blowing. Good thing I am handy and we have a fireplace or it could have gotten pretty cold in here! :)
New fancy furnace we bought two years ago decided it wasn't getting enough return air because a suitcase was sent in front of the cold air return. Sigh technology!!
I know....Canada Problems! :)

Re: -50C Today
That's crazy... somebody told me when it gets extremely cold like that the rock salt on the roads stops working?

Re: -50C Today
Salt is useless after the mid minus teens. Its a chemical reaction and that reaction isn't enough to bring it above freezing at those those temps. So we use a lot of coarse gravel here at intersections it integrates with the ice and gives your vehicles tires something to grip when you are trying to stop. It was a skating rink every where I went today if it wasn't for the gravel there would be a tonne more accidents!! :)

I get it now and yes it is quite depressing. I guess I won't complain about our temps in NY.
