I just checked all the major places in Alberta for their temperature this morning.
High Level, Ft. Mac, GP, PR, Red Earth, Edson, Whitecourt, Edmonton, Veg, Loyd, DV, Stettler, RMH, Calgary, Nordeg, Taber, Lethbridge. All are -32 or colder
-40 or colder in a lot of places like HL, Ft. Mc, Veg, Edson.

I've gone through colder, but dont ever remember it being this wide spread.

Well it's gotta be doing a number on the Pine Bettle Larvi. Or I at least hope so.

Don't ya be fer giten yer woolies this morning I tell ya!

I can remember the stretch in 1964 when we had 30 days at -30 F from the middle of Nov to the middle of Dec

[Bull Shooter]

I figured I better put the winter front on the new diesel. Just spent 10 minutes freezing my arse off, only to discover I have the wrong front. It appears I have the 2007 set-up and I need the 2007.5 front. I wonder if there is any sort of warranty on fingers! Regards, Mike

[packhuntr]

She is 36 below in Brooks this morning. Gotta pray the wind stays down.

My best friend is in Edmonton and I just talked to him on his way to work...he said it's -38 even without the wind chill!!

My car wouldn't start yesterday...never was there a day she wouldn't start. Of course, I've also never plugged her in.

[209x50]

-42 without the wind in GP now. When I got up at 5 we had a small wind pushing the wind chill to -57.

[sandmandrms]

It is +6 and raining here today. But then, I don't get to live in Alberta either!

That's temp taken from the airport....

Just tried the ford - DANG - looks like I'm goin' to work again .

Wheweeee, the old board orchard was sure cold last night. Well under -40, then with the wind, and the ice fog coming from the pulpmill, and its lagoons..........was damn cold. -43 here right now, on the thermometer.

[Rockymtnx]

Eveyones thermometer here around Wetaskiwin is reading -44.
The internet say its -43.
Either way its collllllldddddd!

[JohninAB]

Yep I knew it was cold when I got to work and Bob showed up wearing a hoodie. First time ever I have seen the man with something on other than a t-shirt and I have worked in the same office as Bob for 6 years now.

[Battle River]

second the Wet/camrose temps. -43 at the farm, only one or two frozen waterers, Its actually nicer out now than yesterday, wind at 40 km was not fun. Cannot believe my tractor started last night, kudos to the cummins /AGCO and a good battery

Bob must be insane.

[Copidosoma]

Had a REAL hard time shifting gears this morning. Then as I was pulling off the highway into work I discovered that my brakes were pretty much frozen. Damn hydraulic fluid. Sure woke me up in a hurry though

I wonder if I'm going to be stuck at work now...

I think I've been spoiled by the past few winters.

Yup this is coldest I remember around here in the last year or two.
5 or 6 years ago it hit -51 in our neighborhood.

He'd be wearing that hoodie in my home for 10 mos of the year lol. Wife likes to turn the thermostat way down. You have to send in a special request to see 20 degrees. 19 day/17night...............sounds like you guys in SRD are playing with supporting a general global temperature increase. I like it....

Temperature on my truck console in Morinville was -40. Cummins diesel turned over with no reluctance at all...it was plugged in of course

-44 was being reported at the Edmonton International (no wind component).

[Austin]

I love the sound of a commercial jet fly overhead in this weather. Eerie sound to me.

[Rust]

-32 out near Caroline right now...

[TreeGuy]

-31 with -43 windchill here right now in north Calgary. If ya get a chance, try this.....

Put hot water in a coffee mug and toss it into the air (outside of course ). I just did it twice and it was ice before it hit the gound. Kindda cool, but I'm easily amused.

[sbtennex]

-44 without a wind, thank the Lord, east of Edson along the river

I'm trying that when I get home...no use my co-workers thinking I'm crazy.

-33 with a -46 windchill in rocky

[Cam-hunter]

-43 in Peace River at 8:15am that is without the wind and thank god there is no wind or who knows where it will end up

The 2003 Dodge cummings fired up no issues other that when I started to move it felt like I was riding on steel tires

MAN are heated seats a god send in this type of weather

Keep warm everyone

[sharp_85]

-40 without windchill here this morning. Good thing is that I don't have to go to work cause my propane f150 won't start, crappy news is that I can't go anywhere either!

[gonefishin]

The radio station said it was -53 with the wind this morning. When I was going home for lunch it was -38 without the wind.

[Rugersingle]

- 44 this morning at the airport, no wind. - 48 in the btm of the river valley.
Girls broke the plug end off on my f-150 yesterday morning trying to plug it in !! Oh, well there it sits until things jump back up into the heat zone...-20 something. At least it's not snowwing ...yet.

[newatthis]

It was a balmy damn near 60 here if the farthest southern regions of Alberta.... Fort Worth ( Texas) that is, today.

Seriously fellas I have no idea how ya'll handle that stuff. Come on down and grab a cup of coffee or an unfrozen beer sometime! It will be in the 60's all week and down to almost 40 every night. I guess thats why we have refrigerators is to keep the beer cold enough to drink. Heck you guys can't even leave it outside up there the damn stuff will freeze and or bust the bottles.

Stay warm and do some reloading while you can't get outside.

I am sure I wil see some of you Albertans competing at the Fort Worth rodeo this weekend. You guys seem to graze down here every winter to grab some of that easy winter cash while the gettin's good down here.
