||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, -40 celsius is -40F. yeah, i know it's been bad in canada since that's where all our cold air is coming from! it really is brutal, if the wind is blowing you can't stand being outside for more than a few minutes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, right now without, YES I SAID WITHOUT windchill it is -32c. .. with windchill yesterday it was almost -50c. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's the wind that really kills you. The cold isn't so bad if it's not windy at all. Anyway, here it's like 1F and like -13F with windchill I believe. |
||||||||

holy shit! and "i'm hoping it will get up to 10-15ºF satyrday so i can get my car to start... " made me laugh for hours. -------- it is 47 degrees F tonight, with a nice breeze, very agreeable, I was about without a sweatshirt on, and it felt good. |
||||||||
|

|
|
it's about -20 F, -40 wind-chill right now in my part of mn. it's terrible.. i can't even imagine it being colder.. i think if lived in canada i would be hibernating right now. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i should be hibernating right now... |

is life different when it's that cold out? I've only been in like, 9F, and that was wicked fucking cold, it was unreal. and -20F is almost 30 degrees colder than that, the difference is like from 60F to 90F!!! that is incredible! does the world stop, or do people keep on keeping on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i feel bad bitching about it being 0F here... its just the fucking wind and snow and slush i am a summer creature, i thrive off of sun and good happy things like that |
||||||||

i was walking around this pedestrian-unfriendly town of ours today... and if you saw me running through snowbanks along th side of the road, trying not to have my feet sink in... you would have seen a transfixed expression of disbelief (of i-can't-believe-i'm-subjecting-myself-to-this-i-hate-this-c the ity variety) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
life isn't too much different at least for me.. it is just nasty to go outside. and you need to leave your car running forever or else you'll be cold as hell when you get in it.. oh.. wait.. is hell actually cold? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck yeah its cold. theres two temperatures in chicago, fucking hot, and fucking cold. |

aron:: i was in saskatoon for a while in december, to play some shows with my band, and fuck... the wind there is worse than here in edmonton! i feel bad..... its so cold here... it can only be a bit colder there. damn. deadeight: on whyte ave today, well tonight there was a dead bum iam pretty sure, the cops had 1 block of the ave cleared up and cops everywhere.... blocking the sidewalks and shit. it was strange. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks to the fantastic residents of the area who blocked the development of a homeless shelter in the area... that makes me so fucking mad... i have to do something to convey how mad i am about this... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

hey plaidzebra, you're from minne? thats awesome! i play in a band from minne (tiki obmar). its funny you say how cold it is tonight because we just played a show at the dinkytowner (in dinkytown, u of m area) and it was so fucking cold, even inside, that i broke a string and the water pipes above me had little bits of ice on them... fucking twisted dude, it should never ever get this cold, ever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
deadeight:: i know i know...its pretty fuckin lame, i swear sometimes edmonton just seems like a fuckin cesspool of fuckin idiots, assholes and way too many snobs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, you guys have that mall, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. and they are expanding it by 30% even more.. next year. god..... that place needs to get blown up on a busy day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the mall actually heats on body heat, like many other places in minneapolis. if you go to the mall right when it opens in the morning, it can be very cold. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes i really fucking hate this redneck/upperclass yuppie hybrid province of ours... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf? ok I can see that but our mall is so massive dood... its the largest mall in the world..... it has heating. ive felt it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no man, its 100% body heat, and sunlight and energy from the electronics, but you get the idea. no heating system. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im talking about the mall of america in minnesota here, hopefulyl there is no confusion.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jesus! 687,000 people live in edmonton? Why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been to both, and neither reaffirm my faith in humanity... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually the metropolitan population is probably closer to 850,000... and the only reason i can give is business opportunity... and lots of space for big properties and urban sprawl... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mappatazee: yeah like deadeight said, its really about 850'000 people here..... it sure feels like it. our city will reach 1 million in the next 3 years. or so they say. I could totally believe that. deadeight: the mall here is sad, I fucking hate it with such a passion, the people who hang out there all the time are scum. fuckin scum. |

rarndaraki, i'm disappointed that i missed your show. let me know next time when you're playing. i have a friend who dj's occasionally at the dinkytowner (not for at least 6 months, though, i think, i've never been to hear him spin). i live over in lowry by the walker art center. i checked out some of the mp3's you posted at zebox and i'd definitely like to attend a live performance. |

to answer the question about what life is like in this outrageously cold place, there are fewer people out but you will still see people wrapped up like mummies riding bicycles and walking to wherever. still, i saw a segment on a local news show the other day about the spike in frostbite cases at local hospitals. i'd seen what frostbite looks like after the tissue turns black, but before that happens the tissue (in your fingers, for example) puffs up like snakebites in huge, bulbous blisters. you really can't spend much time outside at all. when it's windy and it hits any part of your body that's exposed you can feel the life being sucked out of you and the nerves in your skin ache sharply until you get to shelter. i like variety in weather, but this is too extreme for me. |

yeah, Alberta gets pretty cold... I guess Saskatchawan and such too, but my brother used to live in Edmonton, and he used to always complain about how cold it was... but you don't get too much snow do you? Here in Newfoundland our temperatures are usually reasonible, but we get shit loads of snow... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rain |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funkmaster: .. well its 50/50, some years we get so much snow it hurts, while others (like this year) this is not much snow, just a frozen wasteland of hell. |
