Same here, dude.

-25C, but -34C with the windchill here in Ottawa. I swear my car called me a heartless asshole when I started it this morning.

For the past week it has been -20 to -30 centigrade here in Calgary. That's without the windchill. When I go to school, I park my car about a 5 minute walk from the entrance tot eh building I need to go to, and I love to watch the people who don't put a toque on because they don't want to mess their hair up. Hmmm...frostbite or nice lookin hair. Hard to decide.

can you guys please specify what scale you are using,
I automatically assume people with Canada or Europe in their location use Celsius and Americans use Fahrenheit, right?

Celcius = Centigrade

Anders Celsius (1701–1744), a Swedish astronomer, invented the thermometer with a scale of 100 degrees from freezing to boiling of water, but English called it a centigrade thermometer until in 1948 an international convention decided to honor Celsius by giving it his name. Conventional notation for such temperatures remained unchanged: it is still 10°C or 22°C for centigrade or Celsius; both are Standard.

So yeah, were all talking in celsius. Pretty much everyone in Europe and everyone in Canada uses celsius.

Ya, Celsius here.

So, -34C = -29.2F

Any way you slice it, it's still fucking cold.
