On the rez, our car tires always go thump, thump, thump.
Isn't that normal?

Oh jeez ... up to -4C by Monday.
Then down to -28C by Friday.
Usually no wind at our place but Whitehorse often has a cold stiff breeze.

We don't get the lows I remember from my youth ... -60F was common each winter. I remember a -76F (-60C). Mom wouldn't let me use the ski-doo after -10F (-23C). And we weren't allowed outside to play after -20F (-29C). After -40 we didn't have to go to school.

I think we used to drive her crazy during cold spells.

Back in those days, car tires went thump, thump, thump in the bitter cold too!

Hi sue.t - please ship some current Yukon weather south

A bit chilly here at the moment:

temp: -33C / -27F
humidity: 71%
wind: sw at 22km/hr 14mph
wind chill: -47C / -53F

Yeah, we're happy to ship that cold stuff south.

We've had a bit of a chilly snap but it's warmed up to -20C (-4F) tonight, and we're supposed to have a heat wave of -5C (23F) tomorrow.

Not so warm to melt the snow, which is a good thing. Snowmachines are getting antzy ...

So in comparison to you tough Canadians, here is how we wimpy Southern Californians deal with a drizzle -- here is a series of excerpts from our local news stations, breathlessly reporting the Storm -- very funny, and all of it genuine:

SoCal newscasters report the Storm!

What did she just ask me? "...I cover my head." Hahaha -

I think you are referring to wind chill as forecasts I see are in mid -30's C. That won'take you feel much better if you are out in it but not quite as tough on vehicles, equipment etc. I would think -50C would pretty much shut everything down. I don't think I have seen -50C in my long life in AB SK & NWT & hope I never do. It is in the record books though. I have seen worse wind chills unfortunately.

I got to experience -55C (-68C Windchill) in Yellowknife, NWT one winter.

I don't complain about -30C anymore.

Big deal. :B

Boy, you ain't lying either. One 4th of July we sat with the local highway dept. road crew, during a BBQ in Tok. Those boys have an old native word to describe the temps. climbing above -30F. They call it "Spring" :B

Big deal. :B
