It is very infrequent that it gets that cold where I am. We'll usually have 2-3 days of KILLER cold through the winter... My niece was born on January 13, 2005 and it was -54C with the wind chill. Now with that said, the wind chill make a HUGE difference. Without the wind it was only like -23.
Typically in my city it's -15C to -20C during the colder winter months. -- Jillian -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2005 7:29 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: we're gettin snow The last year I spent in Edmonton we went 90 days without ever going above zero. Fahrenheit, mind you, this was before Canada went Celsius. When you took the wind chill factor into account it frequently went down to -50 and the like. I took three city buses to school every day during this period and was also responsible for my little sister. This of course has nothing to do with my present southside location :) Dana On 12/3/05, Gruss Gott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Dana wrote: > > But about to drop to 17F according to this.
