Subzero temperatures in Newcastle, England?

How about -40 Celsius, throw in a wind chill for about -55 Celsius to -65 Celsius. In the winter you have to listen to the local radio station for weather warnings. The DJ will announce how long it will take before exposed skin freezes. If you shut your car off to get gas, you'll never get it started again so you just leave it running. Salt on the roads? Nope...it just freezes...you have to use sand. When the temp gets up to about -15, then it's T-shirt weather!

This is a lie! our thermometer does not even have a minus on it, snow does not exist and ice was only invented 5 minutes after the fridge was born [img]tongue.gif[/img]

prove I'm wrong

I heard that Horatio was a southern Shandy-drinking boy And yeah Animal, stop showing off! I mean we're already so jealous that you get to handle such cold.... whatever will we do, stuck here with our annoyingly-mild winters?

England and parts of Canada are on the same latitude - we just get the gulf stream keeping us warm, luckily [img]smile.gif[/img]

[/QUOTE]Try living in Calgary during the winter. One day it is -40 Celsius, throw in a wind chill for about -55 Celsius to -65 Celsius. Then the next day it is +25C thanks to a warm wind coming over the Rockies. +25C is great except for the fact that you go to work prepared for -40C.
