I guess you Far Northerners have block heaters on your cars? I have no comprehension of how cold that is or what day to day life would be like with temperatures like that. But I heard the B.C. cold mass is heading south. Portland might get some freezing rain. I hate to sound like a goul but I enjoy the freakout factor. Every news crew has to out and do a live shoot from one of the most congested or problem areas of town wich causes problems.

Over 100 degrees in Canberra? You are the shrimp on the Bar-B.

It was around 70F here today in SC http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Got snow here, Monday, I think. Just a little, then a little more a couple days ago, I think.

-27 C this morning and about -17 most of the day. Mind you, I'm only about 4 hours away from Renegade 13.

Woke up without any hot water as my pipes froze. For those of you in warmer climates, hot water pipes ALWAYS freeze before cold. No idea why...

As for Daily life in these conditions. Stay inside, play SE4. I visited a friend of mine today who is waiting for his landlord to show up to try to fix his furnace. All he's got for heat is 2 small electric heaters. They spend their time waiting by all sitting in one room, have the heaters cranked and wear all their outdoor clothes and wait for either the landlord to get the heat fixed, or for the pipes to freeze solid, which ever comes first.

Hmm... I always thought that Z'ha'dum was rather frigid? No sunlight, quite barren.

Re: Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it\'s COLD!!
 

At a guess, I'd say the hot water pipes are either smaller than the cold pipes (less water = faster freezing)

Looks like tonight is going to be even worse than Last night... It's already -42 at just before 11PM. Likely, by 8AM tomorrow, it'll be near to -50 Celcius. I've never seen it this cold, and neither has my dad who's lived here for the past 47 years. So cold, one of our cats got pneumonia, and is spending the duration of this cold snap indoors.

So cold the hairs in your nose freeze to the flesh inside your nose everytime you breathe in. You cough the first time you breathe in such cold air, and within 10 - 15 minutes you could freeze nearly to death.

On the plus side, I'm not going to school tomorrow either! Get monday off, so 5 day weekend! At least some good comes of this.... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img]
