paradise has frozen over

well here we are.. just 27 days from christmas and paradise has frozen over...not only did we get a nice dump of snow.. between 30 and 40cm ive been hearing (11 - 15 inches) but the temperature has sunk faster than a brick.. last night the low was -41 degree Celsius or -41.8 degree Fahrenheit... right now as i write this we are under a severe windchill warning which means the northerly winds combined with cold temperature are bringing extreme wind chill of -40 to Calgary and Airdrie ( Airdrie is about 5km or 10miles away ) regions tonight, so its not very nice out here.. there were over 200 accidents in the last 24hrs and several cases of frostbite in the city.. the city buses were running 10 minutes late and traffic was so slow that i got to work before the bus that passed me while i was walking got to the lighs at the corner of Beddington Trail and Center Street.. gotta love canadian winters just like fire..beautiful but very deadly
