It's going to be 10F degrees here in Fredericksburg VA tomorrow around 7:00am. My school is having a 2-hour delay due to extremely low temperatures in the morning. If that doesn't make you wish it was summer already...

Yep, North America is in a rude cold snap at the moment. It's -36C (-32F) in Toronto tonight/next morning. I'm going to walk to the gym in that weather  On Monday it snowed 29cm (1 foot), the biggest continuous snowfall since the early 2000s! Thankfully I'm allowed to work from home and that's what I've been doing, if anyone has noticed my higher posting activity

I'm not sure if this will affect the three of you or not, but I actually heard on the news last night that parts of North America are expected to drop as low as -70C (-94 F) over the next few days! Jeez, I couldn't even begin to imagine what that must feel like. The coldest temperature I have ever experienced is -8C (17.6 F).
Anyway, it's good that the start of school will be delayed by a couple of hours. It would have been pretty cruel to expect students and teachers to have to make their way to school during those temperatures!

Apparently, it's going to be -27F over there tomorrow morning at 6:00am.

Cause if that was the temperature where I'm at then my cause of death would be freezing.

You would have to wear multiple layers of clothing, but even then, you would still feel the cold. I'm glad I don't experience those type of conditions where I live.

It'd be so cold that setting yourself on fire would actually be safe.

Apparently when your body is too cold, your brain stops function properly, and you get fooled into thinking you're too hot, and you start taking off clothes.

What do you guys think of my burqa I mean parka i.imgur.com/xlC4vMF.jpgI wore this when it was -38°C (-36°F). Under that hood, I'm wearing a wool hat and earmuffs. Under my down jacket, I was wearing a wool sweater, a regular t-shirt and a thermal underlayer. I wrapped a wool scarf around my chest too (the scarf covering my face is also wool). Wool glittens (mittens+gloves, best invention ever), and windproof/waterproof boots (if you guys vacation in the Arctic or Canada in January, you NEED these!). My top half was actually warm in that weather (although I had trouble zipping up my jacket because it was too tight lol). My jacket goes halfway down my thighs, so my lower legs are the chink in my armour. I can't insulate them properly no matter what I do, they're always cold. And I'm not buying a rapist trenchcoat. I saw merino wool longjohns online, and apparently merino wool doesn't make you itchy like regular wool does. So I'm dropping the $90 on one and I'll report back how that goes

It may get to -10 here in the Boston area, I think the high for tomorrow is 10. That's pretty much the coldest we get and it only happens a few days per year. I'm just relieved it's not worse, contrary to popular belief we aren't equipped for negative temperatures, ie: block heaters. Though the 8 inches of snow we got last night had already been very nicely cleaned up today.
Wasn't last week record breaking hot in Australia?

I mean, I know that you would be used to it and it's the best way to try and keep warm during those conditions, but wouldn't it be hard to move/walk around? It may get to -10 here in the Boston area, I think the high for tomorrow is 10. That's pretty much the coldest we get and it only happens a few days per year.

Though the 8 inches of snow we got last night had already been very nicely cleaned up today. Wasn't last week record breaking hot in Australia? I would have assumed that the Boston area would receive colder temperatures than that, to be honest. I know that New York City can experience similar type of conditions, but with the Boston area being located in America's North East, I thought the climate in the area would be much colder. Yep. January 2019 is tipped to be the hottest month on record for Sydney. Also, Adelaide recorded a maximum temperature of 46.6C (115 F) just over a week ago, which is the hottest temperature the city has ever experienced. We've been experiencing maximum temperatures above 30C (86 F) for most of this month. In the city I live in, Wollongong (it's just an hour south of Sydney), we're expected to reach a top of 36C (96 F) today.
