    Currently one of the coldest periods I've known along with dec 2008 I think it was(minus 42)

    Currently minus 41. Wind chills down to minus 50. Even businesses are closing down for the day. Not sure I remember that happening before.

    Warm wet and windy in the east coast maritime region.

    looks like it will be short lived cold..models showing a return to the El nino pattern we had in Nov and Dec by early next week  with it possibly getting colder at the end of the month again

    1979 and 2010. 79 got an extra 3 weeks off school. Yes schools did close in the 'good old days' contrary to what some claim. Jan 5th 2010 working from home followed by the biggest freeze I've ever known. Minus 18 at night. And snow on ground for a week. Might not sound amazing but believe me it us for Manc

    my school never closed in the good old days..let alone 3 weeks ..sometimes we got sent home early if it was snowing heavily ..more for the benefit of teachers than anything else.:snowman-emoji:

    Another beauty of a day here in Czechia, reached the dizzy heights of 0°C with lovely sunny skies. The sodden ground is starting to dry up a bit at last and river levels are going down after the flooding 

    a still sunny winters day at 0c is akin to a still summers day at 22c ..good times 😎

  6. got a little bit more snow than forecast yesterday and overnight 25cm in my location..temps on the decline further today as it continues to fall through the day from -21c now to -25c by hometime and then -40c over the weekend..a few -45c have popped up in the forecast for rural locations outside the city.

    What a dreadful Winter it's been to now, dull, rain (flooding) occasionally windy and continually mild.

    Today maxed out at 7c which is near normal for the time of year, it's been the coldest day here since 7th December which says it all!...has to be the worst pre-Xmas, Xmas period to New Year and into the New Year weather I can remember in my life time. The last El-Nino Winter 2013-14 was also dreadful...

     

    Last El Niño winter was 2015-16  not 13-14  :santa-emoji:

    Getting close ,do you think that record will be broken, and what year was the minus 49.4  recorded? 

    i doubt it ..i think -46c is about a cold as it gets and was pretty exceptional..the record is from the late 1880s when Edmonton was just a trading post for the fur trade..now its a 1.2million City so with global warming and the Urban heat island effect anything below -40c is rare now.

    Let's just say that things haven't progressed as we'd thought/hoped?:cold-emoji: 

    WWW.THEWEATHERNETWORK.COM

    A bitter chill will soon spill over the western half of Canada as highs will struggle to get out of the -20s for many communities

    looks like we are getting it instead..was hoping it dropped in on your part of the world instead of mine 🤢🥶:snowman-emoji:

    Is that it!? I dress in thermal vest, thermal long sleeved top, merino wool jumper, gillet, puffa coat, gloves, hat and scarf here!! LOL. If snow I add in my ski trousers and welly boots

    yep and usually after 10 mins its gets a little too warm..but after an hour or so you start to feel the cold again mainly on my hands.

    Just ordered myself a snow blower as a treat..cant stomach another round of snow shoveling:santa-emoji: 

    managed to fire up this beauty this morning after an unexpected snowfall yesterday evening and overnight ..looks like could be worthwhile investment as it is forecast to get severely cold after the weekend with more snow
