The temperature at our cabin was -28*F last night. It's headed toward the Dakotas.
We never used to even plug in the heat tape under the kitchen sink until it got to -30*.

But Canada is a big place! At my end of the country -- the left coast, as we call it -- it is a balmy +38F tonight. Not tropical but not very cold, either. Lots of Spring bulbs poking through the ground...
Jean, at one of the best places on earth! LOL
Aha, Jean, but the earth shakes beneath your feet.

This is continued rivalry between east and west in Canada...(Smile)
What did we do wrong? We get both! We also have some of the most spectacular scenery in North America.

I think -30 is why the term "snow Birds" was first used for the Canadian visitors to So. Florida. I cannot imagine that type of cold. Do you plug your cars into a battery warmer? Keep them in a heated garage? I guess you get a lot of quilting done.
Sara in the pollen
To continue the Canadian climate wars and to extend them to the whole Eastern seaboard -- I would far sooner face the risk of a damaging earthquake every 200 years or so than deal with hurricanes and tornadoes every year, or 6 months of cold weather (with no gardening! gasp! Horrors!) or summers of terrible heat and 90% humidity, not to mention the bugs! Nope, you won't convince me that we are not in God's country! LOL
Jean, very happy in Mill Bay!
I'm going to have to have some help here in the climate war between the east and the west in Canada. Let's see: Vancouver & Vancouver Island: Rain. And rain. And more rain. The Vancouver Island Shelf....once not in every 200 years does it rock and roll. Earthquake happened a month or so ago off the North/west coast of Canada. Now if that warm stream decides to get cold, Jean would experience even more snow than we do down south...south being relative to the border of the United States.
Admittedly, the n/w coast of Canada seems to entice easterners to their province, especially Vancouver Island. Early spring, lots of beautiful flowers, lovely scenery, oceon views, we in the east cannot compete with that. However, along with that goes a certain smugness to the mindset of the west coasters over the rest of Canada. In the east, we don't do rain as much as we do snow. And that's much prettier than mucking around in the mud out west...(for US folks, this is a longstanding rivalry re our weather, east to west). Now the Maritimes, well, they really do get winter down there. Growing season on the rock..Newfoundland...pretty narrow window of summer weather to grow veggies, etc. Still, it's a pretty country over all, including those in the west who think they are , know they are, living in the best part of Canada. We all have a bone to pick with those westerners who crow about their daffodils in February. Ours down south and east don't come up till the beginning of May or late April.
