Brrr....

I hate when it gets so cold out that your watch freezes and stops working after you've only been outside for a couple of hours.

At minus 47 degrees Celsius (that's minus 52.6 degrees Fahrenheit), it can get pretty cold even when you are indoors. Those are the days you just want to stay in bed and watch TV. Unfortunately, people expect you to still go to work. After all, you can't let a little cold weather stop you from doing your job.

Although, I think there should be a federal law that says you don't have to go outside when the temperature dips below minus 25 degrees Celsius, if you are working in a non-essential service industry. (That's minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit).

Now, of course, where I live, that would mean, during some years, I would get half the winter off. But I don't really have a problem with that.

HOLY SCHNIKEEEEYS! That is way too cold to even function! It hit negative 2 last night and I thought I would freeze to death if I walked anymore than a 5 minute radius without heat! Wow...

Welcome to my life.

Tip of the day: If you don't like the cold, do not move to central or northern Canada.

E-gon was my favourite character. I was a big fan of the Ghostbuster cartoon that followed the movies.
