Lance I'll take your cold over what we got any day! It was -35 with the windchill today and the water in my water bottle (that I forgot in my car) was frozen solid after work

Now that's cold!

Also it's supposed to be -31 tomorrow and -40

with the windchill

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.

On cold cold nights like these I just plunk myself in front of the tank with a cup of tea.. -30 outside, +25 in the tank

Sympathies .... -10 for the coast must be pure pandemonium. It's not the weather that gets you, it's what people do when there's weather. So from that perspective I can only imagine what a nightmare it will be on your roads.

I don't think of Calgary as being flatland. Maybe the eastern side of the city but 30 minutes driving and I'm in mountains baby .. that aint no flatland. It's one reason it's semi-bearable some days (not this day in particular, but SOME days) to live out this way. Wish I could move somewhere else but that aint in the cards.

Throw an extra heater in that sump .. I think I probably would if it were me. -10 is a little worrisome even with all that styrofoam...

Yup, the road's are a mess. I can't wait to go to work tomorrow at 6:30 am Lucky we have an AWD vehicle.

Actually, I like Calgary. In spring and fall, that is. Not so much in summer and winter. Mind you, it certainly hasn't been very hot there the last couple of summers. And yes, you do have hills.

I put an extra heater in the sump this afternoon. Three in there now. 2x 300W and a 150W.

Well it's almost 10pm here in Chilliwack and the thermometer is reading -19, its in the wind which is pounding us right now. Multiple power failures but so far ours seems to come back really fast. Pity the poor hydro guys out in this right now. The wind is a bit surprising though, the house is shaking...hope the tank at work fairs through the night with no major power failures there....I am originally from Winnipeg with the short stay in Edmonton so I have seen extreme cold but maybe its my age but the humidity really amplifies the cold out here....brrrrrr
