-39°C is Mars weather, not Toronto weather. I don't know if I can do this.

Holy crap. Be safe. Aren't they closing schools? Edit: Holy shit, they've cancelled all bus service but schools are still open? The fuck is wrong with these officials?

-39 with windchill. It's only in the minus twenties.

Like they ever close schools. They just keep them open but only half the students attend, making all classes pointless.

Wow. Are you expected to go to work in that?

Oh, yes. I'm in even though I have the flu, it's not like I'd be let off because the weather's downright dangerous.

It is very, very cold. The inside of your nose freezes, taking a breath hurts, and any exposed skin is too much exposed skin.

That's colder than the ice cream warehouse I used to work at.
Also, no ice cream.
Fuck that noise.
Stay safe.

Today is one of those rare days where I don't actually want ice cream.

I'm inside now, though. I survived!

That is not good weather.

The only temperature I can ever remember how to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius is -40 because it is the same in both, and it is MUCH TOO COLD TO LIVE.

It was almost that! It was that in some parts of the country.

I imagine, like us, that's your wind chill?

I just came back in - I was going to work, but said "fuck that". Though I do have a nutritionist at 1:30, but that's after the "YOU BE CRAZY TO GO IN THIS" weather warning.

That's the windchill, yeah.

The radio was all, like, "reconsider whether you want to go to work!" but with 10 sick days and lots of doctors' appointments coming up, plus only two weeks until the end of the semester, I don't really have a choice.

Holy... wow. I don't think my Celsius to Farenheit calculator will do that conversion, even. STAY HOME!

It is ALMOST THE SAME.

I wish I got to stay home, but no.

You know, I could deal with the cold if I could at least walk fast for the time that I'm exposed to it. But everything is so coated in ice I have to pick my way along an inch at a time.

The sidewalks around the house are pure ice. I didn't have far to go but it still felt far.

That's insane that they keep the schools open in that.

Stay safe.

It's relatively very cold for Toronto, but that's normal in Winnipeg...

NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'm fairly certain I can't actually breathe when it's that cold.

That's horrifying. GO TO THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW AND GET ON THE FIRST FLIGHT HERE. I just checked the temperature for my location online. Apparently it's 13ºC. Even though it's raining, I somehow doubt it, but even if it's like 0ºC it's still better than -39ºC.

Or wait, don't, because you'd have to get out of the house to go the airport. Don't do anything. Call the school and tell them you'd rather play Myshuno with a pack of llamas.

Flights aren't going out of the airport! People have been stranded for days.

My house is toasty warm and I'd much rather stay in it. Alas, I have a mortgage to pay and very few sick days.

Wait, after seeing the other comments, are you ok? Are you in danger? Sorry I joked in my other comment, I thought it was more or less normal for Canada. *hugs* Please let us know if you're ok and stay safe. <3

I'm not in any danger as such. I mean, ice slippage is dangerous given my spine, but I'm being careful. Mostly I'm just cold, sick, and miserable.

I have nothing witty to add. I just hope you're okay.

I'm sick as hell but I'll live through it. It just doesn't feel that way right now.

Here in NYC it's a balmy 9° F, and all day long I've been muttering to myself, "I didn't sign up for this…"

As of this week, we can complain about the weather together. I'm moving to Toronto tomorrow! I hope to see you after I'm settled in and whenever you have some free time. I know you're extremely busy when there is school.
