-40 with the wind (that's frikken cold regardless of your thermometer system).
I tried to go out to the store last night, but had the wind blow snow up my pant legs. I gave up after 3 blocks.
I love the Winter (maybe a bit too much), but hell, this deep freeze ain't fun. I love all the snow we've had though.
Unfortunately, next month is the city's Winterlude festival, when people from all over the country come to stand on the canal to prevent residents from skating on it. At least the ice won't melt like it traditionally does. - two days before the event starts

Dow's Lake WILL be a lake come Winterlude. In the 10-odd years I spent there, it never failed... I'll be there on Superbowl wknd, and the wind will be blowing down the Ottawa River and it will be -40.
We just got hammered by a warm winter storm - snow, sleet, and rain. Now, in it's aftermath, the skies clear, the wind blows up 40-50mph, and the temperature plummets into the -30's. Nice time to stay inside and watch the fire.
