Dangerously cold weather here
-----------------------------------
Today, Winnipeg was the second coldest spot on Earth.
Key Lake, Saskatchewan was number 1 at -52C (-62F)

Tonight it is expected to drop to -40C (-40F) and with winds of between 15 to 20KM
out of the North, giving a windchill equivalent temperature of -45C -55C (-49F to -67F)

Exposed skin will freeze within 2 minutes.

This is a very dangerous condition and we may break a record tonight for the coldest temperature.
Fortunately, we have one of the most stable power grids on this planet.
If the power were to fail, it would be a catastrophe.

Tomorrow's daytime high is only going to be -32C (-24F) with extreme windchill.
We now have 3 times our normal snowfall for the entire Winter, and Winter is
not even half over.  I can almost bet money that our city will be on the world news
in a few months as we may have to battle the flood of the millenium.
In 1997, we had what was called the "flood of the century".
After a bad storm in early April of that year, I could stand on the driveway and touch the shingles on the garage.

It doesn't look like bikini weather to me. 
Mic and I will have to curl up together  and (ahem)...(cough cough) to stay warm  :whistle:  :whistle:  :whistle: 
(Not that I mind or anything... :heartbeat: )
