Brrrr!

Coldest day of winter so far, with the wind chill it was -35C most of the day and now there's a windchill warning.  But it does make for a pretty sunset. 

Here's the forecast for tonight and tomorrow:  Wind chill values near minus 40 over Southern Manitoba tonight and into Thursday morning. Cold Arctic air combined with northwesterly winds of 15 to 25 km/h will create wind chill values of minus 40 or lower tonight into Thursday morning. Wind chill values are expected to moderate slightly Thursday afternoon but then fall back into the minus forties over most of Southern Manitoba Thursday night. At these extreme wind chill values frostbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 10 minutes.

  1. I watched the weather channel this morning to get the forecast for here..and all they were talking about was Fargo and Minot...I was wondering how it was up your way!! Minot was a possible duty station for Rick at one time (Air Force) and then we actually got orders for Rome, NY. (We got out of that because they closed the base..whew!) BRRRRR is RIGHT!!
    I had to read your temp three times to try and compute -35C holy crap!
