Would this be a good time to tell you our forcast is for plus 3 on Wednesday! LOL I'm surprised you guys are that cold, we've been really mild all winter with basically no snow. Yards are pretty icy though with melting temps every few days.

If the 14 day forecast is true( and it hasn't been for all of the past year) we have more than a week of highs all below 0C starting this weekend. That could be hard to handle. Especially after the +14C 2 days ago.

I know that this area enjoys much milder winters than farther east into the prairies, but never appreciated how much till I read a southern Manitoba farmer in late March(ish), that it was the first time they had been above zero since fall. It is rare to go more than a week without plus temps here.

Cold air makes tough people.... lol
Last load of grain tonight was -37 windchill . Finally had to put gloves on .
It’s funny to hear others complain about “winter” lol .
I do feel for the cattle guys hear though .... truly not fun at all .
They earn there keep as do those animals.

Cold weather didn't make me tough, it just frost bit my fingers so many times that now they are useless in the cold.

Are you kidding about putting on gloves at -37? I need to trade my warmest gloves for heavy mitts already when it gets much below -5 now, and haven't found mitts warm enough to function at 30 or 40 below. And unfortunately the cows still like to be fed at those temps, almost makes me want to use a cab tractor on those days...
