A friend of mine was telling me he experienced -40 C in Canada; said it felt like his eye-balls were freezing in their sockets; it hurt.

I bet the window cleaners in Canada have fun.

Where I used to live it was so cold our words came out in frozen blocks and we had to fry them to hear what we were saying.This is rapidly turning into a Monty Python sketch. ;D

A long time ago I worked a day shift for an agency picking orders in a frozen food warehouse.

Inside there it was -18 constantly. I have never been so cold - 8 hours of it, even with big insulated trousers & coats.

They got free dental care because the cold rots your teeth!!!

My mate lives in Canada, and he reckons if you die in the winter, and want a burial, you have to wait til' the summer cos' the grounds too hard to dig.  :D

Just another cheery thought from iwitot!


Be safe out there.  ;D
