We're supposed to have a terrible winter - worse than we've had for years, and just 1 hr to the south (where we moved from) it was so cold the other day that some businesses had to be closed (Canada Olympic Park, where they have skiing, for instance).
We don't normally have cold the likes of what we've been having this year....... brrrrrrr It's -8F right now...... and is supposed to get colder the next week.
