Gee, cold temperatures in January on the Praires - this is news?
Dan James
The prairies are waiting for it to warm up to what Toronto is complaining about
Kerry in Calgary
It's always hilarious to see Toronto get a little bit of cold. The media always runs with it like a war has broken out. Their low of -21 and a windchill of -29 is nothing compared to what we out west endure every winter. Before Christmas whn here in Calgary the daily highs were -27 with a windchill of -40 the national news never said squat. Get real Torontonians, a little cold might wake you guys up! Think yourself lucky you don't live on the prairies where -30 is a warm day!!

The prairie provinces have been having this cold weather since early December. Now as soon as Ontario gets a bit it is headline news. Maybe if Mel Lastman was still around he could call in the military to help warm up Toronto.
Socialism is killing us
Cold weather in January in Canada? What a surprise!!!! Call in the army. We need help!!!!!!!
JDS
I assume this unbearable cold is the result of global warming right?
Ken - Calgary
Hmmm... apparently they forgot to mention Calgary, where it's going up to +10 tomorrow....
Jane
Five days?? Oh my gosh, poor babies. We've been freezing our butts off in Alberta for over a month!!!

Hey everyone, who has not heard this from a Torontonian "oh, but its a wet cold and it cuts right through you". Their -5 is like our -38, in both C and F. Lets have some empathy for them and their wetness.

Hard to feel sorry as it's been between -35 and -40 in Whitehorse(that's *real* temperature, not including windchill) and snowing like crazy for the past month. (Oh, and it's been life and work as usual - no snow days or calling in at work because it's too cold....)
TP
While these cold temps may be the norm for the Prairies, it's not normal for southern Ontario and Quebec. So yes, it is news.

We should see the army making its appearance in Toronto in 3...2....1...
Kim in Burlington, Ontario
I have lived in Winnipeg, Flin Flon and Saskatoon for 12 years in each location and I can honestly say that living for the past 7 years in Burlington, Ontario, 50 kms west of Toronto is the coldest and snowiest place I have ever lived. I'm pretty sure it's our proximity to Lake Ontario and all the wind and lake effect snow that it brings us. A -40 in Flin Flon doesn't bring the heavy air that a -20 brings in the GTA.
Living in Saskatchewan I used to make fun of the "Toronto wimps."
Now I understand how much colder it feels here in Ontario, combined with much less sunshine. My Flin Flon parka isn't cutting here in Ontario! At least spring will come here in March, and not May!
Here the snow plows push snow and block ramps on the 400 highways--very dangerous commuting situation here! People can't get around because of inferior snow removal.
It's good to live in different parts of Canada to understand what people experience. My move to Ontario has taught me that temperatures mean different things in different locations.

It was plus five in the Mountains of Sunny Southern Alberta yesterday. Even when it is warm in Calgary and Toronto the air still stinks. Literally. Ha ha suckers.
rick in cambridge
Look at all these people complaining about Toronto not being able to handle the cold.....and not one complaint from a person in Toronto. What are you people talking about?
Lisa from ON
I think people who live in places that are colder should stop telling others to get real and suck it up. You are used to it, congratulations, you win! give me a break. Everyone has a right to complain about the cold if they want.
When I was a teenager in NL, if it was +0. I would shovel in a tshirt, now after living in BC, I find these ON winters crazy!
ME
Hey you westerners. I've been in both places so I know what I'm talking about. Out west you have a dry cold and when the mercury dips low it does not feel near as cold as it does in Ontario at a warmer temperature.
I now live in northern Ontario and this morning my thermometer read -40, even Toronto had -30. What it was with the wind chill I have no idea.
I have been in Toronto when the thermometer dipped and I was glad to get home where the temperature might have been colder but didn't feel as cold. Downtown The tall buildings create a wind tunnel and it's enough to blow you away. I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
Jean Vernon BC
Oh gosh, let's realize that it's the media hyping the weather, not the people. We're just all enduring the winter, as we always do. And the press is making it big-time news, just as they always do.
Heather in Huntsville
I always have to laugh at the weather guy on cbc radio on Ontario morning when he talks about 'frigid' temperatures when he means -10. This morning in Muskoka it was a gorgeous -30! Yay winter!
George Rondina
I'm getting a little tired of the " tough westerners " coming down on the east, especially Ontario and Toronto. Let's face it
without Ontario, the West would be lost.
How's that oil working out right now ?
The economic engine of this country is Ontario. Now if the PM, would have taken this stance instead of kissing up to big oil, we might all be better off right now !
Mr. Frost Bite
Like it or leave it, it's January in Canada.
One thing I do love about winter, is that we always look forward to spring and summer and because those seasons dont' stay with us long, we don't take them for granted as much.
You know you're Canadian when you say "It's going to warm up tomorrow to -10".
It's good being Canadian
Brian GP
Man i am from AB and it has been really cold here BUT its a dry cold not wet like there so man folks cut them some slack.
Patricia
I just walked my dog here in 'freezing Toronto' and don't know what the fuss is about and neither does my pooch. Sure it's chilly, but it is winter and it seems to be the media that fusses, not the people of Ontario. I can't stand it when weather is the lead story on the local news unless it's a tornado or something.
The earth is getting warmer experts said
Hey folks, don’t worry, take it with a smile, the earth is getting warmer, all the stats and figures experts said so.

"Think yourself lucky you don't live on the prairies where -30 is a warm day!!"
I think myself lucky that I don't live in the prairies on a daily basis.
Logan
People forget that a Sunny Day in the winter is a bad thing. You do NOT want to see the sun in the sky in the Winter time. It's a counter-effect of what happens in the summer time. The sun does not heat the ground at ALL in winter. When the sun beams down and the clouds vanish, all the heat that the clouds trapped on the ground rise into the atmosphere and is gone. That is why when the sun breaks out, it gets bitterly cold, and when it's overcast and snowy, it's much warmer.
Old yukon Gal
