It's So Cold That .....


It's so cold here today that even some of the little steel creatures atop a fence surrounding a local house are wearing scarves! There are over a dozen of these wee things (cats, coyotes, elephants, etc) scattered along the fence but only the dog & mouse are dressed for the weather. It is -15˚C with a windchill of -26˚C just after noon - going up to -13˚C this afternoon!

    Love these cute creatures, you know I'm a dog person!
    Because of you and your blog, Toronto joined my list of places to visit. But obviously, I would never go during winter (to tell you the truth I know it's too cold, but I have no idea what is -15˚C). ;-)

    Very funny! I thought our weather was cold, but after reading about yours, I shall not complain.

    Of course we are suffering from a Canadian cold front so I don't think that's very nice. :-)

    It was so cold this morning I couldn't play golf. Very serious cold1

    Yep it sure was cold. Actually it was 2 or 3 degrees colder in Newmarket than in Toronto. I don't think that's fair. :))

    Really cute! -15ºC? I have no idea what the feeling must be... I believe my worst experience was -6ºC in Madrid. It was also very cold in southern Argentina, especially when you got close to glaciers but that was fun! :-)
