Toronto braces for a week of freezing temperatures after a long January thaw

2) It got really cold on my wrists. The cold found a way to sneak in between my gloves and the end of my coat sleeves and attack the wrists. That seemed new.

It's global warming.

 

[mrquincy]

mrquincy what does your work consist of when there's no shows?

working a corporate event for Canadian Tire. Work is not very busy, RJ. That's why I'm heading to vegas next week. Busier in February

Blitty left Quebec just at the right time. -27C/-17F right now.

It was -17F my first night there.

With this humidity and wind chill, NYC feels just as cold at 10F.

 

[Mudcat]

See that's what I was wondering. We were getting these complaints about the cold in Quebec but I was thinking, "Aren't you from New York? That is not exactly classified as a tropic zone."

 

[Blitty]

This is the coldest I've ever been in NYC currently.

My eyes did hurt in Quebec though.

Bone cold.

Be careful with that roof snow.

First reaction was it didn't look nearly so bad to have that result - just a bit of snow - but I see she hit her head on the ground when she went down.

That's why I wear a helmet 24/7.

 

[Mudcat]

I tell you what: I ain't doin' it.

I need to go over to the store and it is only 2 and a half inches away - but I definitely ain't bike ridin' and I ain't even walkin'.

I stepped out on my balcony and it is too bitterly windy-cold. I am driving the 2 and a half inches in my car.

Fok it.

 

[Cami]

Damn, that looks like it hurt.

That's answers my question Muddy, I was wondering if you had a vehicle.

By gawd I bet I even have a pic of it saved here . . .

Yap. Two in fact.

Think I recognize one building in the 2nd picture; It that near Keele and Lawrence Muddy?

 

[Mudcat]

No sir. Port Credit. Lakeshore and middle-of-nowhere.

 

[mrquincy]

I'm around South Kingsway and Bloor.... lotsa similar buildings like that I guess

 

[MrMonkey]

Some Canadians talking bout the cold in not glowing terms, eh? Thought you guys would be jumping for joy and enjoying the sunshine, eh?

 

[Cami]

Very nice Muddy. You don't drive much do you?

 

[Mudcat]

I do not. Since losing my job in early November, I believe I have put gas in it once. If not for the large amount of driving around on Christmas, I might still be on the same half tank I drove home with on my last day.

Very nice Muddy. You don't drive much do you?

he drives alone.
