Default Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

-10 out right now. Bloody cold for the coast! I hope it doesn't get much colder having an outdoor sump. All is fine for now, (tank temp is 79.3) but wouldn't want it to get much colder out.

That is pretty cold for the coast, especially when you add in the humidity. Being from the coast also, the wet cold can be horrible.

Living in Calgary, it gets cold also. Right now it is -26, but at least it is a dry cold. It doesn't stick to you as bad as the coldness your in.

The worst thing about winter on the coast is the snow. It's not dry like your flatland snow. Wet and slippery: Add to that, few cars have snow tires because we seldom get snow.

LOL, to heck with snow tires, some people still have their SUMMER tires on. Ridiculous!

Don't get me wrong, I was just being whiney. I wouldn't trade our weather for yours any day. I have family in Calgary and Saskatoon, and have spent time there in winter and summer. Too cold and too hot for me. I'll just stick with our mild, wet climate.
