Chilly???  It was 14C in Surrey today and will be dipping down to 9C by Friday!

It's damp.

Ah, yes, I grasp your point. But, you see, if you've ever resided in a place with a incessant humidity (which is  unlike Winnipeg), you'll appreciate the bone-chilling embrace of a damp, 4-degree day. Those morning practices in Vancouver will leave them quite soaked and shivering. Never underestimate the bite of a damp cold, my friend.

I'll attest to that.

-10 in the Great Lakes is just different than Prairie -10.

Weed, booze, yelling at coworkers, not showing up, there are many options

Long range for the 19th is 10 and rainy.

 

 

EDIT: for those unaware, Buffalo is on the leeward shore of the lake and has double Winnipeg's annual snowfall and bitter cold humid air.

Not exactly cold weather conditions anyway.

Buffalo a zillion years ago. Never played cold weather football at any serious level of competition. At any rate tho, doesn't sound like it will be too bad in S. Ontario.

I don't know what it looks like, but I am pretty sure I know what it smells like.

Lions will be ready to play Saturday. Big play VA and offence will give Winnipeg a good fight. Looking forward to a good game. 

No doubt about it that big play VA is an apt name, unfortunately, some of those big plays are usually interceptions at very costly times so I suspect our ball hawks are looking forward to that.

Yes indeed. Welcome.

Was only there once for -40. Dad often took me there on business and we'd fit in a Jets game. This one particular time we were with an associate from his Nassau office who had never even seen snow before. A cherished hilarious memory of seeing him take off down the street at a Johnsonesque sprint to get back to our hotel.

Never implied that Winnipeg doesn't see the nether regions of the thermometer. Just that humid cold hits different.

And on this I have to agree with Bluto - I moved from Dallas to Winnipeg in 1981 (better half is from the Peg). My office was just off Portage and Main and I suffered!! I thought it could not get any worse until I had to spend a week in Toronto in Feb - downtown staying at the Westin (right by the harbor) and walking up to the client about 5 blocks away. I have never been colder even with my walks to my office in the Peg. The wind and dampness and cold just got to me no matter how warm I dressed. Never forget it!
