I should be hibernating.

It's -46 today. Kill me now, like seriously.

I hate our winters. The school should close on days like today, so poor little people like me can stay in our nice warm cozy houses and not go outside.

UGH.

HOLY MOLY. That's insane!

I cry on days when it's below 30*F. I can't imagine days of negatives. Especially when I don't have a yard, so when Lucy has to go out 3+ times/day, it means leashing her up and taking her for a walk.

 

[ma-vie-en-vert]

Yeah, it's -46 C. That's -51 F.

On days like this, Alexa looks at me and begs to pee inside, lol.

Seriously though. I don't care that we're from the prairies and "we should be used to this by now." I for surely am not used to this. It's warmer in the Yukon and North West Territories right now. So people can't even complain that the north has it worse than we do. The school should close. It's ridiculous making people go out in this. Like even the elementary schools stay open.

I am complaining aboaut 12 degrees...you shame us. I wish schools would be closed today and they are not. THe bus rolled up in front and not one child was out there. I think the parents are protesting.

 

[ma-vie-en-vert]

It all depends on what you're used to though. Here our winters are on average -20C so whatever. But -40 some? That's like not closing a school in the Caribbean if it snows.

We had one winter with severe ice storms and the temps got down like that here. It was freaking miserable. The whole place shut down and people were told NOT to go out unless it was absolutely necessary.

 

[smkie]

well the bank clock said -2 when i took Hy to school so it is a lot colder then 12 degrees. HOpe this is our hard winter now and not just a long cold one. Usually the last two weeks of Jan and the first two weeks of FEb makes up our deep freeze. WOrries when then furnace doesn't click off...i can hear my dollars going up in smoke.

 

[ma-vie-en-vert]

Yeah, my furnace has been running for 2 hours straight now. When I turned the heat up this morning, it was blowing cool air. You know its cold when your furnace can't even keep up, lol.

 

[smkie]

THat is how mine is feeling. ANd because our ceilings are only 6 and half feet high it blows on you like a fan. I say we all have a sit in protest...and stay home with warm dogs and warm blankets and good books and tv. I am all for that.

 

[ma-vie-en-vert]

Yeah me and my friend said screw school today. I called my local school board (aka my mother, haha) to complain. She said none of the buses are running so not to even worry about it, lol.
