Canada Ladies

H and I were watching the news and they showed the weather in Canda and Alaska and one of the places was Yellowknife,Canada. It was -22 there and just out of curiousity how far is that from each of you?

I have no idea why I feel the need to ask that but I do.  

Re: Canada Ladies

  • I'm not from Canada, but in my book, once the real temperature is zero or below, it all really feels the same...

  • Was it with the windchill? It was -30 where I am on Monday morning, with the windchill...

  • No it just said -22 was the temp no windchill temp. I personally don't care how it feels unless I was to go there I'm just curious how far north that is. I mean even places in Alaska weren't't that cold. 

    The coldest we have seen so far is around 25.  

  • I'm not in Canada but we just got home from a marathon Lowes trip and the temp outside is 3 degrees.   It's freezing, I can't imagine how -22 must be.

  • On Sunday morning when I woke up it was -18 ferenheit, -40 with the windchill. Im 1353 miles south from Yellowknife. It's been quite cold here the last few days, especially with the wind. We get weather like this for a few days every winter :) I'm not too fAr from the Canada/USA border

  • I just moved from Steamboat Springs, CO and it was -30F a week or two ago.  I'm SO glad I got out of there just in time!

    I'm with you here, but I think once it is below about 20 it all feels the same.  Sometimes I miss living in the north, but not in the winter.

  • I live just outside of Montreal. Yellowknife is very far from here, we're basically south in the south east of Canada and they're way up in the western north.

    It's freezing here this week, -26 and -40 with the windchill today. BRR!!

  • Yellowknife is about as far north as it gets for larger cities! Most of the population of Canada, some 70% or something, lives within 50 miles of the border (myself included in Vancouver area)....anything further north gets pretty cold. I've been to Yellowknife once when I was little and my relatives lived there, all I remember was that it was cold, grey, and boring since I couldn't go outside and the snow was too frozen/hard to play in. ( I was about 5). According to Google its about 30 hour drive from where I am (and its only a 28 hour drive from here to mexico...) to give you an idea of how big northern Canada is.
