This morning it is -30 C. With the windchill it is -38 C. For my American friends, -40 is where Celsius and Fahrenheit meet.
In other words: IT’S COLD.
It’s the “too cold to go anywhere” cold;
It’s the “if you haven’t plugged your car in, you may not get it started” cold;
It’s the “if you live in one of the trailers, you may have frozen pipes.” (and yes, there have already been several people this morning who woke up to that wonderful gift).
The deep freeze is going to last a couple of days. But, in perspective, it’s already the middle of January. We’ve had a very mild winter. At the beginning of January we were dealing with double digit positive temperatures.
And so, this cold snap isn’t nearly as depressing as it could be. Even if it lasted for a couple of weeks, remember that winter is already half over and March is just around the corner.
So try to make the best of it.
Stay inside with a wonderful cup of cocoa.
Put on a movie, and curl up on the couch under a warm blanket.
Unless, of course, you have class today. In which case, make sure you’re bundled like this (starting @1min 11s):
