Just remember - someone always has it worse than you

..... you could be living in Cambridge Bay, Canada. I sure as hell am glad I don't live there. :D

It is pretty far north, amazingly it is on Google Street view... they took the pictures using a tricycle. There are no cars up there, only big utes, snowmobiles, atvs, etc. The wife's cousin's husband works there. Wife showed me some facebook pictures this guy posted up. He shows a stop sign (not the same one from the link above) that went as high as his knees. :eek5: Then one with the hood of his ute open that looked like that front door picture from the link above.... you can't see the engine, only snow. :blink: They just had a 3 day snow storm!

If you want more giggles, check out the average temperatures these guys get on wiki.

How do you like the record cold with windchill factored in? -73C!!! You just have to laugh at that point. Or there is the average daytime high temperature in January and February at below -28C (not including wind). :D

Some people think that we are heading in the same direction maybe even next winter following the northern hemisphere winter this year! :cold:

Kinda just going back to how it was a bit more though isn't it? I mean for the planet this is hardly all that different than what it's been in the past (from what we can tell) and then even during our short time here it's nothing drastic, it's just we now are much more 'global' communication wise than we were even 20 years ago and are more aware of what's going on the other side of the world.

Some old timers in the shop were yarning and one in particular said it has been the best summer shes had here since her daughter was 3...which was 30 years ago, but that there is still less wind than then (making it better yet).

Cooled down here overnight with a rush - even a little bit of that lovely rain stuff! :rolleyes: Holidaymakers are just changing the gard too :cold: then :sunny: again!
