    Hasnt got above -4 in the day time for the last week, -14 at night. My lips are chapped, the dog shit is frozen to the ground in the garden and the birds are lying dead on the ground. So anyway, have these electric radiators in the house, and they just are juseless in this cold. But we have this 13 kw wood burner. Christ it is hot! It really pumps out the heat, it is amazing. We can heat the whole house on it just on convection alone. Gotta love a good wood burner, when it gets interglacial, you cant beat them! :)

      Bummer. It's 83 here, and I've been working on the truck, watering the garden, pruning a bit, and planting roses. Later I may have to put a shirt on, just in case it gets nippy. ;P

            -18°C in the UK this morning[^] it struggled up to 2°C early afternoon now back down to -3°C just before 22:00. Although I suspect I will have to guard against heat stroke next week when it is slated to reach 7-8°C for several days.

              Hmph, -19 in the day time, -25 at night. ;) Fortunately, it is getting warmer in the recent days, it's 11 P.M. and just -18.

                Well, I'm not surprised. I would expect the Poles to be cold.

                  My heater just can't take all the cold anymore (cold coming in from all sides)... It's about -5C outside and 19C in my room (heater has been on max for at least a full day) and I'm freezing (figuratively speaking)... I can't even imagine that I delivered newspapers at 5 in the morning and cycled 12 kilometers to school at -10C just a couple of years ago! :wtf: I guess working life has turned me into a pussy ;p

                  It's an OO world.

                              I wish it were. :( Anyway, Tuesday's forecast calls for temps just above freezing with a chance of snow showers, so you should be OK.  But do dress warm as Toronto can be pretty windy. /ravi

                                      I remember that all too well. The first house I rented after college had electric baseboard heat. One winter it reached -22°F; even with the thermostat set to the maximum, the temperature in the house was only in the 50's.

                                        That's got to be some kind of sick joke right :wtf: I've got a 10 hour wait between connections there on Tuesday and was planning to do some sight seeing (CN Tower looks pretty), but I guess I'll stay in the airport :sigh:

                                        Don't forget Active Surplus on Queen St. A geeks paradise (OK, you need to have a hardware bent to truly appreciate the place). And it's walking distance from the CN tower, at least you'll get there quicker than by car.... Crap, just seen it on google street view, it has changed, and looks pretty small to what it was a few years back when I was last there. I guess YMMV.[^]

                                          Google weather says 21F. Did you mean wind chill?
