Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us) Pt. 5

Warm day today: -12C with a light snow here at the moment.

Fun Fact:
Manitoba was crowned the Slurpee Capital of the World for the seventeenth year in a row in 2016

And they sell as many even when the temperature dips below -20 Celcius as in the summer....
Now that's what I call brain freeze!


When I operated the restaurant/bar and reception hall at a local arena in Quebec, I'd sell twice as many slush puppies as I did power drinks to the kids after the hockey games and figure skating all winter long

I love it!

First day of winter... time to put the sandals and shorts away.
If I was a native Winnipegger I'd probably be heading to 7/11 for a Slurpee about now LOL

?But it?s a dry cold.?

 

[GaryQ]

Sure, normally, but humidity is currently at 88%!
Guess I should have avoided that previous comment about it being drier than out east... gonna come back to "frostbite" me in the tush!

 

[David Baxter PhD]

One of my friends went to graduate school in Saskatoon. He always talked about the dry cold. I would point out that it didn?t alter the fact that he couldn?t start his Volkswagen Beetle from about the end of November until March.

 

[GaryQ]

Ok now let's be serious, Beetles had trouble starting even in the summer :rofl:

But your friend was right... NORMALLY!
I think this is one year where we are going to get hit hard. Just hope the saying In like a lion out like a lamb holds true this year.

On a serious note I worry about the many homeless people we have living in the streets when it get's below -20C
