Funny part is, the weekend games are against Houston... wonder how much they'll be wishing they were back in Texas.

Ajax,
I actually read this a.m. that yesterday in Brandon, the temperature was -55 Celcius (that's with windchill factored in - something like humidex for those of you not familiar, it's what the temperature FEELS like)!!!! Exposed skin freezes in 2 minutes.

Sid! Knock it off! Us southerners would translate -55 Celsius to -67 Fahrenheit. I'm shivering just thinking about it, and I'm indoors.
At the risk of showing my geographic ignorance, I'm assuming Brandon is somewhere North of Cleveland.

I think our overnight low here in the Inland Empire of soCal was about 47*. Of course, if you want the weather you have to put up with all the liberal-minded folk down here, too.

Start on the 49th parallel where Manitoba meets North Dakota... drive NNE for about 2.5 hours.

sorry for the daily weather reports, but -52 Celcius here today. They say a lot of the Northwest Territories (think north pole) has been warmer than us this week!

just to one-up my earlier comment, apparently a town called Meadow Lake located in Saskatchewan (they're pretty much straight east of Edmonton) recorded -60 Celcius yesterday.
