Sometimes I don't think you can ever put on enough clothes!!! And yes we have lots and lots of Indians here in Manitoba.

This picture is from a few years ago, but last winter this is the kind of weather we had from about Dec to Mar!!!

but isnt that the reason you can have the Ice Road Truckers up there

That is a cool show but id have to say sorry not interested i drove a truck and there are always things breaking much less in 35 below weather

You all are True Warriors

I don't know why they had to go up north to do that show, they could have done it here in Winnipeg with the same results


Apparently I heard that the show is very popular over in Europe

-52 WC? That's a bit nippy!

I have to laugh around here. They close the schools if they see a snowflake and people grumble if it gets less than 60 and they're pulling out the down parkas and such. I just have to wonder what they'd do if it ever got really cold?

Of course, in summer, I'm melting.

i have 2 plug in heat cushions/seat covers from Canadian tire...that plug into the cigarette lighter...they get quite warm/hot on my ars.....best 30$ i spent for the winter....i highly highly recommend them

you know even in mid Missouri if we get like 2 inches of snow yep enough to almost cover a golf ball---yes enought to almost leave a nice foot print---- people freak and head to the stores to buy all the bread??????? what is up do they think that 2 inches will stop the bread truck??? i live on a farm and i do remember getting a foot or so back in the old days and we still had school

Favourite quote around here when people freak out about the extreme cold -- "But at least its a dry cold"

Walked to school once 2.5 miles when the snowplow couldn't get thru. Teacher made me sit by the furnace until I got warm and my clothes dried then sent me home with a note for my folks. I think she chewed them out. Of course, it took me a couple of hours each way climbing over the drifts. I think I ate my lunch tho. Yes, it was about 60 years ago in Michigan, weather is a lot different now!!!

School is a lot different too , during hunting season we carried our 22 rifles and 410 shotguns to school and put them in a gun rack in the principals office and after school hunted small game on the way home...
The only School Shootings we had were rifle matches with other schools.

Carried a 16 Ga. Bolt Action on the school bus, left it in my locker until I made a Gun Safety, put it back in the locker, rode the bus home that night. Altogether different now a days!!!
