-40? Are you delusional? I don't think you know what -40 feels like, if the only area you've ever lived/been in is Southern Ont. |
14 January 2004, Quebec: Temperatures plunges to -31.1°C (-35.1°F) at Quebec City, and -33.2°C (-36.2°F) at Saguenay. Hydro-Quebec records a new high for power use: 35,137 megawatts.
30 January 2003, Peterborough, Ontario: Temperature falls to -30° C.(-22° F) in which was two C° (3.6 F°) below the previous records for this date. Several other southern Ontario cities also report record lows.
January 21, 2005 is the coldest day that I have seen in almost 5 years in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Although the Weather Channel on Cable TV said that it was -27C with windchill, it is -36C.
Excuse me, ALMOST -40.
I exaggerated by 4 degrees... please forgive me.

We all live in big cities, no one walks outside for more than 5 minutes in -40 because we have cars, underground shopping areas and the subway.
Only hippie loosers/poor/students wait for the bus outside.
The houses are so well isolated that you don't need to turn on the heating system until its minus -5 outside, and even then.
And people dress so badly, that they run after disaster, a good canadian coat, thick(er) pants and a good sweater with waterproof shoes/boots will get the job done.
I was in Syria a few years ago, the temperature was 0 outside and we were dying of cold inside, because house are very badly isolated. In the streets people were complaining of the extreme cold, while I found the weather excellent... they don't know how to dress to deal with the cold weather. |
That post makes you sound like such a douche. Only hippie loser students wait for the bus? Get off your high horse dude.
Thousands of people ride the bus, and subways. Not everyone can afford a car, especially when they ARE in school.
And no, people do walk outside for more than 5 minutes... not all of us live in massive cities.
