Bugger it is cold.

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! :)
============================== Nothing to say.
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

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

I'm boxing up a big ole' package of envy, Roger. What's your mailing address again? :-D

Around here when it gets to -4 towards the end of winter we start opening the windows to let fresh air in the house :)
Time to move... ;P

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:

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

Then I don't suppose you want to hear me bitching that the weather is so monotonous here, 28 to 33 deg day after day after day ... ;P

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.

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?

Yes, when I wrote my post it was 1F with the wind chill. Weather.com tells me it's currently 16F (4F with the wind chill) right now (Sun 12-Feb noon). /ravi

Moving to the Great White North has improved my math skills. But I still grimace trying to convert MPG to Litres/km. :) /ravi

Thanks for the heads up! Google says it's a 15 minute walk, so no doubt I'll be able to get sufficiently lost in that time... I did want to visit the CodeProject HQ to see the hamsters, but it doesn't look very close to the centre/airport so will have to wait for a future visit.

Well, it's going to be cool tonight, but looking up over the week until Friday. Tuesday, high of 5C, low of -2C with snow flurries. So cold is pretty relative of where your coming from.... Many years ago, my sister lived in Toronto, and my wife and I visited from out west, with one of (my nefarious)intentions to visit the Active mecca. Pre-internet/GPS/etc, We drove back and forth with paper maps (remember those) and never did find it. On the news that night they were reporting a stabbing incident, and in the background....yep, there it was, giant stuffed gorilla guarding the entrance... I was then living in northern Manitoba-population 150 on a good day, and the Toronto driving scared the cr@p out of me, esp downtown, never mind the Hwy 401 crazed drivers doing 120 kmph bumper to bumper. BTW, where is CPHQ?
