Sounds fine to me. Once you dress for it, it's nothing. You can even learn to drive on ice. Pretend there's a raw egg on your gas pedal that you don't want to break.
I currently have a -41 windchill and am planning a stroll to the mall later. Fleece pants are a game changer.
Most people don’t consider 80km winds, nice.  It can actually cause a lot of damage.

Yes, that was my initial point  But you buy a warmer coat and get used to it if that's just the way it is.

It was 12 degrees out at 9pm tonight. My daughter said it doesn't feel like Christmas and she's right, it feels like September. Even Halloween is often colder than it was today.

I don't want to jinx it with major snowfall all of a sudden, but this is the warmest December I recall ever.

We have to drive to a swimming pool here, and we figured it's just easier to not wear coats after the swim out to the car. We're not even cold.

Yeah, it's the warmest we've ever been, consistently, at this time of year.  (Edmonton area)

No snow at all.  That's unheard of for this time of year.

(Two years ago we had some weird spikes in January that took out our garlic crop, but we saw colder temperatures and snow)

Contrary to BC_cheque's sentiment, I would love to jinx it and get ten feet of snow today.

If it's still this way come spring, last year's fires are going to seem trivial in comparison.

It's going to be minus 20 in Edmonton next week.

Winnipeg forecast says a high of 13 on Monday and a low of -20. High of -16 Tuesday.

Very odd.

Is that because of El Nino?  Regardless, luckily we live in a country with access to the most fresh water in the entire world.

Water has to rain on our farmland for food to grow.  I think the weird weather in the past year is mostly el Nino with some climate change.

Would like to know for el Nino affected the Canadian first fires.

Definitely.  I only referenced El Nino because back in October, the weather network referenced El Nino has having a big impact on our winter this year.
