Ya ya ya, still the people out in NB do not know what cold really is, they maybe get a week of actual cold weather a year.

Didnt your parents ever tell you a wild story about how they got to school when they were kids?

So they didnt have to drive you to school that day?

Frick.

It was -51 with wind chill today where I live.

School was canceled across the region. Way to friggin' cold.

Here is the crazy thing...after tomorrow our temperatures are surging to -2, 0, then +1

It's going to be melting by Saturday.

So -51 (with wind chill) to melting conditions within 48 hours...is that not crazy or what?

I never got a day off school because of weather as a kid, thanks to the Alberta education system.

I have always been repremanded when I said Labrador and Newfoundland were apart of the maritimes.

Newfies know what cold is.

Never? Even I did!
I remember we had a day off of school because there was a layer of ice on the streets that we could skate on... I was 7 or 8... Next day, we all went to school on skates

I was in Edmonton, so the roads were kept in check.

[Brenda]

I was in Holland. They hardly "do" cold there

I was leaving the north once in late february and while waiting in the airport I met some of the drillers who had flown in from Newfoundland.I remember Willie from Nefoundland,he was crazy as a loon and when I asked him if those were all the clothes he had(sneakers,jean jacket)he started doing a little jig,said he was a Newfie and could handle the cold.The chopper pilot took one look at him and told him to head to town as he was going to spend his first cheque on a parka,or he wasnt getting in the chopper.I met him again as I was going back and he was leaving,he said"take this parka and give it to the next dumb newfie who comes to the arctic without a parka".

So that's one Newfie who knows what cold is....now.

Now the Capers were tough,but they may have been putting on airs to impress the Newf's.Some kind of long standing rivalry there I didnt quite pick up on.

I hope it cools down in Calgary again soon, The frickin' flibbidey-floo chinooks give me mega-headaches what with the whacko pressure changes involved.

Besides, if it stays cold enough until spring I can milk it as an excuse not to go back to work up north until April. Flibbidey-floo on you too, oil patch!!

Tough thinking about work when your sitting in a nice warm comfy chair with a fat cat sitting on your lap.

Soon though,cabin fever is setting in.

Hehe if you want to piss of a Caper ask them where Cape Breton is, when they tell you reply "Oh you mean your a Nova Scotican! Why didnt you just say that?" the usual reply is somthing like "no we are an island, we are seperate from NS" the appropriate reply is "What? Like PEI?".

I went overseas with a guy who was from North Sydney, he had property of the CBLA writen on his helmet. He was good for a laugh, him and our guy from Toronto would carry on once and a while.
