Ok, even the people who grew up in Saskatchewan are now complaining about how cold it is.
-
It's my partner's job to do the before-bed animal check (I do the early morning check), and the closest weather station says it's currently -47 with windchill, so unless my partner yells that the auroras are amazing, I think I will go curl up under blankets with a book rather than go check on the sky...
-
You are probably all getting tired of hearing about my weather. But it's WILD. I mean, look at this!!
It's supposed to be -41C tomorrow night, and +3C on Saturday, a change of 44C in 5 days (sounds way more impressive in Fahrenheit: 79 degrees F warmer on Saturday than on Monday night!!)
I've lived here for just over 5 years and this place still stuns me with its regular, non-record-breaking weather.
-
My thermometer says -42C. The goats and horse refused to leave the small barn stall. I don't blame them. (I'll try again after the sun gets a little higher in the sky)
-
These pictures do not do it justice, but wow, frozen bubbles are so weird. The weirdest part is the sound they make - almost a light paper rustling kind of sound when you touch them. And they pop, but then keep holding most of their shape. SO WEIRD.
-
Ok, two more nights of absurd ridiculous cold temps, then it's semi-reasonable, then it's the very first hints of spring? (Or maybe it'll go back down to -30. It'll probably go back down to -30 at least one more time, I should mentally prep for that.)
-
It was -42 again. Though I suspect it might actually be colder and my thermometer just doesn't go any colder than that (I guess the mercury in that old thermometer is probably solid at this temp so... yeah.)
Trying to think about the fact that it'll probably be up to +35C in 6 months.
-
You need an ethanol-filled thermometer, good from -70℃ to +78℃.
-
Last -40 night! Maybe for the year (I hope).
Here comes a 38 degree C (68 degree F) temperature rise in about 60 hours. I'm so excited. -2C is going to feel amazing!
-
It's been hilarious in all my Zoom meetings over the last couple days.
them: "I have so much snow!" "I'm so tired of shoveling!" "It's so cold"
me: "It was -42C at my house this morning."
them: *horrified giggles*
I "win"!
-
I don't even have -42℃ in my freezer
-
Looks like almost all of the 15 coldest places on Earth today (according to this website https://eldoradoweather.com/climate/world-extremes/world-temp-rainfall-extremes.php) are in Saskatchewan.
Wooo!
-
It was only -36C this morning, and the goats all left the tiny barn stall voluntarily!
-
You guys!! There is RAIN in the forecast!! I forgot that water can fall from the sky without being frozen!!!
Of course, rain on top of several feet tall snowdrifts that I have to walk across to get to the animals is going to be...gross. We'll see if it actually happens or not.
Mostly I'm just so excited that it's not -40 anymore.
