Currently showing -34C (-29F), with a daytime high of -31C (-24F). Fortunately, I don't need to leave the house. I feel for those that need to get out to go to work, or have to work outside in weather like this. Now, I think I'll emulate OriginalGriff and make myself a bacon sandwich for breakfast.
I think your thermometer is upside down, I just checked and it got to 31C today. hardest part of today's work was getting the beer down before it got above frosty. the poms der englishers would be happy, anything over 5 minutes and that beer is warm.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Edmonton, Alberta. Colder here than Resolute Bay up in the high arctic, and they're not expecting sunrise for another 3 weeks or so. As long as its not too windy, and the sun is out and the sky is blue, it can have its perks. But once the lottery gods smile on my supplications, its Tahiti on the next flight out.

I don't know how people can live in weather like that. It snowed here yesterday and we're complaining. :laugh:

Lousy ambiguous temperatures! Why can't it be -40°? :-D

I'd rather be phishing!

I don't think even Gordon Lightfoot would be Alberta Bound[^] in that kind of weather.

Do they pay you for living there? and, if they do, is it really worth it? Otherwise I'd move to a warmer place like sunny Cancún or beautiful Cozumel. We are having a cold winter here in Guadlajra at 20°C and can't wait for spring! :)

Just keep ignoring the obvious. The bacon didn't do the pig that was wearing any :elephant:ing good, did it?

Up in north Norway, some years ago (I think it was 1999), they had a long period of even colder weather; they were down to -51.2°C. People were joking that they didn't need street lights - the power lines were glowing enough to light up the roads. (Lots of Norwegian homes are heated by electricity; from newyear, oil furnances are no longer allowed for heating.) The authorities were seriously afraid that the power system would break down. The sheriff of Kautokeino (a Sami village in the middle of the Finnmark plain) was interviewed on TV, and asked what whould happen in case of a power breakdown. Well, he answered calmly, That would lead to significant reduction in the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.

You wouldn't believe the minimum requirements for building insulation in this country (Norway)! With any normal grade insulation mats, you need 12 in thick mats (I am yet talking about high quality insulation). Of course you must also have a sealed wind shield so that no hot air leaks out of the house. Windows have 3-layer glass (with insulating gases between the glass layers) to fulfill the requirements. Take my living room as an example, covering half of my first floor. It has one long outer wall of about 8 meters, two shorter walls of 4 m. They are 2,5 m tall, making 40 square meter of wall surface. The maximum permitted loss is 0.18 W/sq.m per degree temperature difference, i.e. 7.2 Watt/degree. With -30°C outdoors and I want 20°C indoors, a heater delivering 360 W should be enough to keep my living room warm. Windows are allowed more loss, up to 0.8 W/sq.m per degree. The two 1.2 m square windows, roughly 3 square meters total, are allowed 2.4 W/degree, or 120 W heat loss when it is -30°C outside. So, I may have to raise the pwer of the heater to 500 Watt. Or maybe not - a human in ordinary social activity emits in the order of 100 W, so inviting a few friends in should be enough. The basement floor to the ground is only allowed 0.1 W/sq.m per degree. The ground two meters below the surface doesn't go much below freezing (the ground usually freezes about one meter deep in cold winters). So a 100 sq.m basement heated to 20°C (20 degrees above the ground temperature) should have a maximum heat loss through the floor of 200 W. These are not extreme cases, it is the minimum requirement for new buildings. We will of course save a lot on the heating bill, but it most definitely does help keeping down the cost of putting up a new house! In my opinion, the authorities have gone too far in their eagerness to save energy.
