-9c but very sunny and NO SNOW to be seen anywhere*, all in all a beautiful day. Easiest winter I've ever had, only 2 days in January with snow on the ground.

>>-32.5*C on my drive in to the plant this morning. How is it for the rest of you?
Um... warmer. It was about -11 in Toronto, and -17 at the new house.
I thought the reason they didn't give windchill numbers up north had something to do with absolute zero... once it gets cold enough, the wind chill can't make things any worse

You must have finally received the weather that seems to have passed us. It is warmer now at -14 to -17 degrees C (down to -27 degC with the wind chill).
Winter seems to leave Winnipeg kicking and screaming. It is rarely a pleasant exit.

I feel your pain. It was a frigid 65 degrees this morning. I think I may have felt a rain drop too.
Brrrr!!!

50 degrees F here, downright freezing, had to break out the winter gear again
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

The overnight temps are cooler out here in Corona, spiff, but it sure was nice at dawn when I let the dog out - about 54* with the air soft and full of tropical moisture. Big improvement over that cold, dry desert air we had before.
We had a golf time about a month ago delayed by frost in the morning. My bro and his friends from OC were incredulous.

I know what you mean, Mark. Almost left my jacket at home this morning when I left for work. Very pleasant outside. Then I remembered the rain storm slated to come through. Glad I brought my jacket. Still, all that cloud cover really helps keep the warmth in.

Hey, Sean, I forgot there was someone else in the vicinity.
Interested in a poker game on Sat night at my house in Corona/Eastvale? Buy in is $25 - no limit hold-em.
