According to the Weather Network it is minus 28 here and with windchill eleven degrees colder than that. Most of North America is well below normal. Where's all that global warming that James Hansen promised us? :x

Like my father always says.. Please let the globe just warm up.

Those are unlivable temperatures. It's been colder than usual here but nowhere near anything like that. I don't know how you people way north of the border do it.



Stay warm and try not to lose any bodily extremities.

No, 'extremities" as in toes, fingers, nose, feet etc.



Don't take this the wrong way but if your nuts froze and then stopped working, the world would probably be an ever so slightly better place.

WOW a lot more cold than our puny little drop in the temps, accumulation also. :)

I had to get out earlier for some cold medicine for my mother, and you would think it was the end of time coming.

I had to pass two slugs on the road, and deal with being behind another half way home.

It's currently 29F here, and maybe 2 inches of snow with ice under it.



:) some hot chocolate is nice Odinson

Well like my old teacher used to say that there´s an ice-age in greenland which is in the same altitude.



A hot drink is good. Black-berry juice for cold.

I couldn't imagine! So cold it's actually dangerous to go outside. I've never experienced anything lower than -12°C. I don't know how you guys keep things going. Whenever there's even just a sprinkling of snow here in Vancouver, they declare a state of emergency. This actually happened last winter:

There is freaking cold in Vancouver too, but it hasn't started snowing yet. I can't imagine how severe weather u guys are encountering to. I just found out that there is minus 27 degrees in Saskatoon, and a frightening chill ran down my spine immediately that image came across in my mind. I don't know if I can bear this deadly coldness when I moved to Saskatoon.

My mother came to Calgary to give birth to me..



After I was born my mother and I went back to Taiwan because my father was not allowed to leave at the time..



When we finally immigrated to Canada, Calgary was the natural choice because my mother knew the city and had friends here..



It's not always this cold in winter Jaysings..



We often get Chinook winds which blow in and raise the temperatures..



Calgary is actually a very beautiful, clean city and a wonderful place to raise my family.

You will be able to adjust Jaysings..



My family made the adjustment to Alberta's harsh winters when they immigrated from sub-tropical Taiwan.


why didn't they take moving to Vancouver as priority?

My mother came to Calgary to give birth to me..



After I was born my mother and I went back to Taiwan because my father was not allowed to leave at the time..



When we finally immigrated to Canada, Calgary was the natural choice because my mother knew the city and had friends here..



It's not always this cold in winter Jaysings..



We often get Chinook winds which blow in and raise the temperatures..



Calgary is actually a very beautiful, clean city and a wonderful place to raise my family.


I like Calgary too. Provincial tax exemption is one reason of why I like this city

I just found out that there is minus 27 degrees in Saskatoon, and a frightening chill ran down my spine immediately that image came across in my mind. I don't know if I can bear this deadly coldness when I moved to Saskatoon.

Fashy, do you even plan on moving back to Taiwan? I would in a heart beat omfg.... the culture there is so amazing not to mention..... NO SNOW... EVER.



Why my dad decided to move here is beyond me.

My parents have said the same thing Jay. We came here in 1993 when China was a lot poorer than it is now. They have said they would not have made the same decision today. Both of them are successful in business here, but neither of them is working in the field they were trained in. It's a waste of talent.

Freezing rain in my neighbourhood! Even though there's no precipitation.

Even Vancouver pipes are wimpy in the cold. This one burst over twelve hours ago and water has been running down the street since. This is about the closest to seeing snow I ever get!

No offense Romero, but Van is the most overrated city on the planet. Victoria is kinda cool, but Van is an overpriced hole.

That chick looks very bangable. Why the hell they are putting fine chicks on TV? Miss the whole story.



Same effect when you would put some Hugh jackassman into the news... Chicks would run through the TV and fight over whom gets to talk to him.



Women are never angry to each other, they are defending their property... That property is a male.



Catfights.



I just hate every males. That is why the confrontion is always an awkward "hi".

The polar vortex may be coming back!  :?


QuoteThe polar vortex will get stronger and move farther south later in January, causing cold to intensify in the Midwest and East and drought to build in California and the West.



As the pattern responsible for rounds of nuisance snow and waves of cold air continues into next week, indications are that bitterly cold air will return later in the month courtesy of the polar vortex.



There is the chance the cold may rival that of early January in some areas.



A piece of the polar vortex will continue to hover around Hudson Bay and northern Quebec, Canada, into next week.



(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22http://vortex.accuweather.com/adc2004/pub/includes/columns/newsstory/2014/650x366_01161752_hd30-2.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22http://vortex.accuweather.com/adc2004/p%20...%20hd30-2.jpg%22%3Ehttp://vortex.accuweather.com/adc2004/pub/includes/columns/newsstory/2014/650x366_01161752_hd30-2.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)



In this position, the vortex will continue to act like a giant pinwheel producing a series of weak storms with spotty snow and flurries, as well as brief waves of moderately cold air over southern Canada and the North Central and Eastern United States.



However, during the third and fourth weeks of January, some changes will take place. The high amplitude pattern is forecast to get more extreme. The polar vortex will move farther south and get stronger. The pattern will gradually change the current mixture of Pacific and Arctic air in the Canada Prairies and the North Central U.S. to all Arctic air. The air will get significantly colder over the Canada Prairies and the much of the eastern half of the nation as a result.

Storms from the Pacific Ocean will be blocked from rolling onshore along the West coast.



Warmth in much of the West now will continue, with virtually no chance of rain and probably no snow for the Sierra Nevada in California. Above-average warmth in Alaska will likely get more extreme.



Air stagnation and fog may become more of a problem in parts of the West. As the drought builds, the risk of wildfires will continue and may get worse.
