Typical albertan response

-18 there is nothing, I know, blah blah blah

-5 here is cold, has nothing to do with temperature on a thermometer, it's humidity combined with temperature that affects how cold it feels

Come to bc when it's -15, then tell be about it

It has nothing to do with humidity but rather exposure, iykwim?!? A chilly -33 C here this am.

What I wouldn't give for -5 and no snow, ha! I could still be ishing-fay (shhhh, don't let the inside water dwellers hear that) instead of hunting in a farking cold ground blind.

I'm in Toronto and someone told me to wear a jacket because it's cold! It's +3 degrees out. Even with the humidity it's still doesn't feel like the -20 that I left behind yesterday in Calgary

Lived in both places and the humidity does really suck , the -18 today was fine as long as you have mits on otherwise it bites at the hands pretty bad.
