  2. Well, how cold and windy WAS it?
    We’ve just had our coldest December since 1968, minus 24 overnight, minus 15 the last few days,warming up today to plus 5.

  3. Wow…frozen waves? Beautiful–and a tad nippy. Never saw that in my 20+ years in WI & MN. Thanks for posting the pics!

  5. Pish Posh, go hug a tree, or put a solar panel on your head.
    North of 49, we can burn buffalo chips, cow pies, go back to old ways.
    No need for electricity, gas, coal, any of that cheap/accessable fuel, hey, how’s about them trees and forests, eh??
    Cement cubicle dwellers, baristas, tree huggers, enviro nuts may starve/freeze, but hey thats natural evolution. Right??
    As one who has hauled water, used outdoor facilties, heated with wood/coal, the nut case, enviro gen, has no clue.
    Go out and wilderness camp folks, THEN, tell me you decry the standard of living your grandparents and parents fought and worked to give you.
    Where is the plug in on this tree:-) 🙂
    Live it wingnuts, then make judgement. You have NO idea how good you have it, courtesy of the prior generations.
    What waste, and clueless generation. Sad but true.
    WAKE UP, kick the NDP out. Taxes, lower standard of living, no health care, no roads, no nada, except public servants (leeches) on tax base.
    My two bits, damn, such a great province, such a terrible Gov.

  9. Yeah Kate, it was nasty here in S AB a few days ago….At 7 PM, last Friday night it was minus 33 with a wind chill of -45°C at the Lethbridge airport.

    New paper published in Lancet today that reiterates a long-know fact: cold kills more than heat. Very good analysis.
    http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(14)62114-0.pdf
    Interpretation: Most of the temperature-related mortality burden was attributable to the contribution of cold.

  11. A few days ago my pet brass monkey Zuky was speaking soprano, yesterday it was more like alto. I like him better this way.

  12. During my sophomore undergrad year, we had a cold snap which lasted several days. Walking from one lecture to another between buildings wasn’t a lot of fun, as I recall, even though I grew up in that climate.
    The student newspaper commented that it was so cold that it would freeze the balls off of a pool table.

  13. Here’s another study by the same lead author looking at the impact of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defence law on homicide rates: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2582988
    Interpretation: The removal of restrictions on when and where individuals can use lethal force was associated with a significant increase in homicide and homicide by firearm in Florida.

  14. And another paper, also by Dr. Gasparrini, examining heat-related deaths in NYC: lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/news/2016/reducing_heat_related_deaths_climate_change.html
    Interpretation: “Climate change is putting more people at risk of death as a result of extreme heat. These deaths could be avoided by limiting greenhouse gas emissions and by pursuing high-temperature adaptation methods.” ~ A. Garparrini, PhD

  15. This whole issue is clearly about the major difference in perceptions between those in large cities, and everyone else. Unfortunately the libtard lemmings are flocking to the large cities and the stupidest are breeding like rodents. With our skewed semi-democratic political system, this gives urban idiots the political ability to control everyone’s life.
    Welcome to the NWO. Watch “Brazil” for a glimpse of the future.

  16. Drove and worked through a lot of SK as a young Dome employee. Love it. Great people. Still have family there. However, Kindersley water had waaaaayyy too much iron in it. They poured water in a coloured glass. Premier Wall is truly the wall holding up the west. Merry Christmas, all y’all.

  17. Brrrrr … my skin went all clammy, and goosebumped … just looking at those pics. THAT is the very definition of a FROZEN wasteland. Do NOT lick any metal fence posts.

  18. It ain’t really cold until yer pee freezes before it hits the snow.
    A few years ago, 82-year-old Wilfred “Wilf” Blezard remembered the coldest day recorded in North America’s history. Blezard was one of four weathermen stationed at the Snag airport in Yukon territory on Feb. 3, 1947. On that day, the temperature dropped to minus 81 degrees Fahrenheit.

  23. The wind’s kicking up here. The Minister of Finance is braving the cold to put out cracked corn, day old bread items, bird seed and suet for the critters. If they insist on squatting on our acreage, we insist on keeping them looking sleek and healthy. Suspect with all the Little Debbie products, we have the only raccoons, opossums and deer keeling over from heart disease.
    Then, I’ll throw some kerosene on the pile of tires out in the back forty and light it in honor of skinny, homely trolls.
