I stopped walking to work, -50c is too cold for that.

And I didn't shovel the sidewalk of my whole block, just the part in front of my house.

I am counting the windchill factor, it's really only like -40c.

My son rode his bike across Saskatoon for work during this cold. Didn't even slow him down. Not sure if he's stupid, crazy, or brave.

If something bad happens, you just die. We learned from Regina that people won't stop and help.
