Even in Canada, where we are more used to inclement winter weather, this has been a tough week.Temperatures in Saskatchewan were hitting -50C with wind chill, and people were essentially told to shelter at home. I have worked in the weather this cold and it takes a huge tolls on engines and other machinery. When I was working on an oil rig in -30-40C -- we had to shut down if it got colder -- there was a constant hazard from metal breaking off the derrick and hitting us because it had become so brittle.

Temperatures also were well below normal from Ontario east, but the biggest problems were caused by huge dumps of snow, up to half a metre. On Monday, over half the flights out of Toronto's Pearson Airport, by far the busiest in Canada, were cancelled. Now Toronto has a problem with where to put all the snow they are removing from streets.

And I was unhappy because temperatures on the West Coast were down to -5C. It's all what you are used to. I am enjoying the current 9C with rain and wind much more.
