Hello everyone. Honestly, I would say that up until recently, the winter (at least in this part of Canada) has not been too to cold or bad in general. However, that definitely changed last night/this morning. The temperature, even now later in to the afternoon is.. -22 Celsius or -7.6 Fahrenheit for my American friends.. I hope that for everyone else, the weather is good, or at least better than here It could definitely be worse, at least it isn't snowing on top of these frigid temps. Have a wonderful day/afternoon/evening/night my friends

Thank you! Now that it's two days later, the weather is much more favourable. It is right around the freezing mark

Cold here as well in Tennessee. Will be down to 19 F in the morning. That is cold for our area. But we will get warmer temps next week. Stay warm up there.

Oh wow! I was going to say, that must be cold for over there. Thanks Carol, much appreciated! You as well. My parents, and I actually drove through part of Tennessee on our way to Florida (not the way back home from Florida, though). We drove through eastern TN, there was some interesting landscapes and sights, etc.

@dilleo Eastern TN is the most beautiful part of the state, with the Smoky Mountains.

@CarolDM I'm sure you're right. On one of my last trips, we did actually stop in Memphis (this was like 14 years ago or something) and it was cool too, but yeah the Smoky Mountains are a pretty sight

It is cooler today than it has been, but that's what fronts will do. Tomorrow won't exactly be warm, but it won't be to bad. Comfortable enough to go out at least. Our heater just kicked on, though.

@dilleo Well, there's 'cold' and then there's Florida cold. And, for us Floridians, it could be the equilivent of you going out in your bathing suit in 30 degree weather after getting out of the shower. So, yeah.

That doesn't sound too bad. For some reason, the idea of needing a heater in Florida sounds kind of funny to me. But then again I shouldn't 100% say that, since on my recent trip to Florida, I did wear my sweater a few times at night time. So I guess I'm being a bit contradictory or something, but yeah haha

The weather is too good here because today we reached the temperature of + 21º C (70 F) and this is NOT at all normal.

@dilleo - February is usually the coldest month of the year. Our average February temperature is from -2ºC to -8ºC during the night and a maximum of +6º to +8º C at noon on February.

@LadyDuck Ok, gotcha. Those noon temps actually don't sound too bad, whether a maximum or not. I learn something new every day, haha

I'm sure it is the same when I hear about what the weather is like in Australia! But yeah, that is fair and totally makes sense. I hope the weather over there is nice, but also not too hot

It's cold here too. Actually it's freezing. Much like most of the rest of Canada, from what I hear.

Ahh yeah, poor us Canadians I know Vancouver and Victoria, and that area of Canada seems to get a lot milder temperatures, typically but like you were saying.. It would seem most of Canada is freezing together this time of year. Hopefully Spring comes soon!

After what has so far been a pretty easy winter, our temps out here in the Maritimes went down to -32 with a -47 C windchill. It's not that unusual here to get a week or so, down in the - 18 to -20 - but even that's pretty much on the lowest end of the scale. This is not unprecedented, but it is quite out of the ordinary. That's sort of Edmonton weather - and they are apparently sharing.

Oh my goodness! -47! I don't remember the last time it was nearly that cold over here.. Maybe back when I was in elementary school and it was around -40-ish. Even though I said the other day it was about -22 it was more like -31 with windchill. Oh jeez, that is rough. I hope you were able to keep warm and stay inside! Yeah I know Winnipeg gets super cold and windy in the winter. Edmonton would make sense too.

Luckily, it had passed and now is right around freezing mark, which is quite comfortable for me. Spring would be a welcome sight for certain. I am looking forward to that, but it probably isn't for another month and a half or more. Thank you for the kind words
