Prairie anyone sick of this damn cold?

i know alot of the ski-doers like it, but damn its cold!

i want summer! i want and outdoor beer! i want a friggin camp fire! oh, and i want a job!

 

For some unusual reason, I seem to trive off of the cold weather...

 

I sometimes like it when its cold.... because then I can wander around with zillions of nice warm clothes and its all good I just don't like it when I have to wait for the bus and its -25 with wind chill

 

-25 wind chill, BAH! You Calgary people have it easy. A week ago here in Edmonton, it was -40 wind chill. Now THATS cold!

 

*points and laughs* I'm so glad it wasn't that cold here...

 

I think that it is easier to stay warm when it is cold out, than it is to stay cool when it is hot out.

 

Prairies are having a harsh winter too, eh? Pretty bad back East as well.

 

We actually had a chinook today and it came up to above 10 degrees But I got a headache though

 

I know this is un-Canadian of me, but what's a chinook?

 

A chinook is a warm wind that blows over the Rocky Mountains. It is a wind that blows east from the Pacific ocean and loses all its moisture over the West side of the Rocky Mountains. The wind blows down onto Southern Alberta (and states below) and it warms up the temperatures and melts most of the snow. Chinooks form a "chinook arch" (so an arch in the sky in the West) and it also includes a fairly rapid change in pressure. And if you're highly susceptible to headaches (like me) you hate chinooks.

Does that sort of answer your question?

 

Yes, it does, thank you.

Vancouver gets the rain, you get the warmth. Figures.

 

It is going up to 11c out here on Sunday.
Summer weather

 

I hope mother nature hooks us up with some of that, Mike. I don't like these harsh conditions one bit. I want my BC winters back!

 

we ahd some of that -40 windchill in sask. its realy nice here now. the snows melting...then watch it freeze to ice on the roads. great fun!

 

Its really nice here in Edmonton, its like a good +10 out there. I can almost wear shorts!

 

Yea its around 10 here in Calgary too. Yesterday there were sooo many people wearing shorts/skirts/sandals its was crazy. Its a bit march for March though, IMHO.

 

WooHoo!!! Wore shorts all day yesterday! It was awesome! (Head start on my summer tan... )

 

You people are all a bunch of wussies. Saskatchewan usually gets below 40, sometimes even below 45 to 50 at extreme times. SO...suck it up!!!

 

//points and laughs// plus ten here! (well not anymore but it was...) its been pretty warm here all week... almost everyone wore either a skirt, shorts, capris, etc... Its very nice

 

Hey Darthine Christine, wehre are you from? Wherer is it THAT warm?

 

Calgary.... It was about 10 degrees again today, but it was very windy *blah*

 

YEEEEHAAAAW!!! Welcome back to winter Regina. And I suppose also have the West and some other parts of Canada. Who'da thunk that there'd be snow again? God Bless Canada.

 

and then it melts. and now i think we're getting some more snow in sask.
