my car doors got stuck. the only way to get in the trunk that worked was from the trunk. A cop pulled over near me and did nothing but laugh.

Bearable because it's a dry cold up there. Montreal dampness does make it tougher to deal with.

Grew up in Arvida and spent whole weeks playing outside at -20 or more in the days when most parents thought fresh air was good for kids. These days if you send your kid out in the winter the neigbours'll call DPJ.

Great place to grow up. Rinks frozen by late November and stayed that way until almost April. Left almost 40 years ago and keep meaning to get back but have not yet.

I live in Arvida, near the ''rond-point'' on boulevard saguenay.

For a guy who loves winter more then summer, Saguenay is a great place to be.
Rinks frozen by mid-to-late december now

Gloves are not a problem, just stop buying those cheap ones at wal-mart. Buy some Hestra gloves or something similar in quality and you won't be cold.

Gloves are one thing but you need a toque and a coat with a hood. You lose most of your body heat through your head.

Oh and it's -17, not -30. Drama queens

The wind is brutal. I biked to work this morning and I couldn't feel my legs when I got here. (it's only a 10 minute ride).

Well, the good news is that the rinks should start opening up soon

Scarves are key. I used to scoff at them, now they're an essential part of my winter wardrobe.

The wind is bad but it's not so bad. My little one wanted to face the wind and she loved it earlier this morning

Looks like that's the pattern that's setting in for the winter. It's supposed to be above freezing by the weekend and back to frigid a few days later.

The 14 day trend graph looks like a roller coaster ride.
