Ey, Canadians. Or Alaskans for that matter.

I want to spend a cold winter in a cold place. I read somewhere that Toronto (or is it Vancouver?) has a wicked winter breeze. I want to experience that.
I'll be wearing no sweater or jacket just the usual shirt and pants, and I want the gush of wind to pass by me, and it'll be so cold that I'll be lying on the ground in the fetal position, shouting and crying at the same time because of that deadly cold wind starting to numb my face and whole body.

I'm also thinking of Alaska, but it might be boring. Just fishing all day?

Salt Lake City, too many Mormons. I want a hedonistic time.
Denver. Pollution in a mountain region is deadly.

Any suggestions?

Nothing beats going to the Antartic/Artic regions for a cold time, but I don't have the means yet for that type of expedition.

Well Vancouver is very nice. In the city it doesn't get too cold, the lowest is usually around 2ºC. But if you head up Grouse Mountain you get a beautiful view and it's pretty damn cold.

yeah, or head up to whistler. you'll definitely freeze your fucking ass off. i went boarding there last year and it was like a god damn snowstorm up there.. wind knocked me down a couple times, but it was fun as hell.

Yeah, snow sucks. I'm living in the suburbs of our city, which is in the hills. I tried to go to the gym an hour ago, but I almost crashed into a pile of snow like 50 feet from my house :lol:. I left my car there. My dad measured the height of the snow in the morning and it was at 55 centimetres.

Come to Minnesota! You can catch a Timberwolves game, too!

Sun Nov 27, 2005 4:22 am

Surprisingly it hasn't snowed here in Edmonton yet. If you're looking for mountains and great scenery, mixed with cold and snow, come to Banff, Alberta or Jasper, B.C. If you're looking for eskimos and far colder weather, come to Nunavit (Northwest Territories) or the Yukon territories, but nobody ever goes there.

Why cold weather? I can't stand cold weather, but I'm guessing you're so used to the Phillippines?

Sun Nov 27, 2005 4:25 am

snowing pretty hard right now in New England
i like it :)

Sun Nov 27, 2005 4:28 am

I wouldn't say that there is too much pollution in the Rockies here. In Denver there is, but when u go up the mountains, its really cold and there is always fresh air.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 4:43 am

Come to Toronto, its gonna be so cold you wanna go back home.... I mean it gets so cold that you can only stand there for like 2minutes before you like freeze to death...n it gets like -20C and thats like freezng.

If there are fine female eskimos :cheeky:

I'm somewhat predisposed in going to a cold place. As my previous post, I always dreamt of going to Antartic/Artic regions, if I eventually have the means.

Yeah, that's the shite I'm talking about! :headbang:

Slovenia, interesting. I may have to read more about that.
Minny and New England, hmm.. I may have too look into it too.

Sun Nov 27, 2005 8:35 am

Go to Winnipeg, that's where the street corner with the coldest and strongest wind in Canada is. I don't remember what it's called, though.

LOL, Torontoians are pussies. I walked to school last winter and it was like, -45C lol

Just for disclaimer, I plan someday to live in Toronto, so I'm possibly theoretically insulting future-cam with the whole pussy comment.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:03 pm

Where do you live that it gets to -45?

I once camped out in the winter, the temperature dropped to -30C during the night, I was only in a tent :cheeky:

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:09 pm

I'm 4-5 hours away, near Ottawa... with the wind at some parts last winter I recall it being -45 or around there.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:12 pm

how much is -45 in farenheit ??? and I think Jae was talking about his life in England . And coldest I ever been in was -2 degrees farenheit I think . You can literally spit and by the time the spit hit the floor it was frozen.

-45C is equal to -49F, I used this site to convert: http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm

That can't be right, because 0C is the freezing point of water...which is about 33F.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:24 pm

Yeah, but one degree Celsius is not the same as one degree Farenheit.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:26 pm

Yeah but I think the formula works by multiplying by 2 and then adding 32... eg -5c x 2 = 10 + 32 = 22 (check it in a converter, it works) therefore -90 + 32 = -58... oh well its not exact but because of the multiplication fahrenheit can end up below celcius... ack either way I think -49 makes sense (mostly cause I checked it in another converter).

Anyways, that day might have been -40 but for some reason I remember -45 (with windchill) and it was damn cold. We had a really, really cold stretch of about a week last year.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:29 pm

:lol: The last 4 posts or so have been really boring. What has NLSC come to? Talking about converting Farenheit and Calesius?

Anyways, you guys are probably right.

Mon Nov 28, 2005 1:40 pm

It's [ºC x 1.8] + 32 = ºF
