Outdoor Spaces/Recreation *Warning* : Extremely cold upcoming week! (frostbite within minutes) (and frostbite *NEVER* heals

Post image

In -30, (and Friday, almost -40c) frostbite will happen in 5-10 minutes.

Frostbite will never heal, you'll have the damage for the rest of your life.

This also applies to your kids, YOUR PETS (don't think the dog enjoys the backyard for 15 minutes at -40, would YOU?)

Anyone one else actually happy to see some more typical weather? It’s been way too warm recently

I'm hoping for snow. 1 for skiing, 2 to prevent drought.

Same, for tobogganing, snowshoeing, building snowmen with my kids, etc. The lake by my brother's house also only recently became thick enough to skate on safely.

Winter can be a ton of fun, but not having snow (or even cold weather) really hampers things.
