I certainly will be gaining a couple of extra pounds when I wake up tomorrow morning. Not by additional pounds of muscles nor fat, but rather by the extra clothing that I will bundle around myself. As temperatures in GTA (Greater Toronto Area) are expected to plumment as low as -20C tonight with windchills that will make it feel colder than that expected temperature reading with similar conditions prevailing tomorrow morning, I am certain I will have at least 5 layers of clothing when I head outdoors tomorrow morning around 7 am to shovel snow off the driveway at home before heading to the office. No doubt will also be covering as much skin as possible to avoid any painful frostbite.

And just when one thinks things will get better, think again. As seen in the text forecast above, high temperatures tomorrow are only expected to hover around -12C tomorrow and by Thursday, the high temperature is only expected to top -17C (which means only one degree above zero on the Fahrenheit scale). Lows on both Wednesday and Thursday is expected to dip to -21C and of course the windchills to make matters worst. Gosh it is something not to look forward to but I can just imagine some other people such as airport ground crews who have to work early morning shifts & spend quality time outdoors as well as the homeless (who thankfully will be provided with shelters by the city as always). Perhaps the curiosity among several outsiders that everyone in Canada live in Igloos has just gained more momentum. Even worse a friend of mine in L.A. called my cell phone earlier specifically to ask my climatic conditions and to rub & brag his sunny 30C+ temperature down there into my ears.
Anyways while perhaps I have bundled heavier and have experienced colder/extended cold spell conditions in the past, the next couple of days will no doubt rank among the coldest temperatures I have witnessed at places where I live & call home and among the heaviest layers of clothing I put on myself.
So what is the heaviest layer of clothing attributed to weather you have worn and the coldest temperatures and/or cold spell you have experienced at places where you live. Doesn’t have to be the place you currently reside in as it can also be an old address where you maintained residency. But this question does not pertain to destinations you have traveled to and experienced nippy temperatures unless if you are or were a resident of that destination.
Also does anyone believe the combo of extreme bitter cold and post holiday blues are factor whenever one feels depressed whenever visualizing nature’s physical appearances in your surroundings? I am not sure if this has contributed to my mood but I sure do feel somewhat sullen whenever I think about the natural surroundings in my neck of the woods and the projected outcome of them in the next several days.
