-23C last night (-9F). It's got to be -30C (-22F) before we really start
whining. We get into the -40's (same for F and C) for 6-8 weeks sometime
in mid-Dec to early Feb. So yes, this is quite nice right now. It all
depends on what you compare to! We had -54C (-65F) one day last year.

45 below zero is the worst I've seen as a kid on vacation in Tate which "is-was" 90 miles
west of Regina. No joke you could fire a gun and hear it 20 miles away. It was so flat you
could see the grain trains "Steam Locomotive" light as it past the curve of the earth. It
still took an hour to pass you. Nothing like the flat lands 'Prairie". Spit froze before
it hit the ground.

Some day I plan to make a pilgrimage to Canada for *real* winter gear.
I hear Moosejaw is a good place to start.
