If you think it’s cold here…

OK, the folks in Chatham-Kent are complaining about the extreme cold. I found the wind darned chilly this morning, but this honestly isn’t COLD.

It was about -16C in Chatham this morning. Yes, it was windy too. But where I come from, in northern Quebec, it was -32C.

By the way, do you know where Fahrenheit and Celsius meet on the thermometer? Try -40. Have you seen the mercury dip that low? I have. Just don’t stick your tongue on anything metallic, or you’ll be there, and in pain, for a while. My brother once did it off our back porch in Val D’Or, Que. Warm water got him free. I don’t remember quite as much steam as in Beth’s photo, however…
