It's going to feel like it's about -20°C tonight.

http://www.news1130.com/weather/article/188598--expect-it-to-feel-like-it-s-minus-20-tonight


VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The windchill will make minus nine feel a lot colder this evening. It's expected to feel as cold as minus 20; that record-cold will definitely make you feel the arctic air with every breath you take.

News1130 meteorologist Russ Lacate tells us, "Two factors really heighten the threat of record-cold tonight."

"First off, this deep layer of arctic air could push temperatures down to minus 10 all by itself," he explains. "But the north wind, gusting gale force, will instantaneously evaporate any humidity on your skin, causing your body to lose heat as quickly as it would with an equivilant temperature of 20-below."

Kevin Usselmen with our Calgary station 660News says it's minus 37 with the windchill there today. "We would gladly exchange temperatures with you!" he says. "Actually, in that kind of weather, we run around with t-shirts and shorts on, that would be a balmy day in Calgary."

Sometimes other parts of the country think we should just suck it up. "It is winter, you guys are part of Canada, even though you're on the west coast and you never have to think of winter weather," says Usselmen. "Join the crowd!"

He tells us the best way to cope with the cold is to simply stay indoors and cuddle up with someone you like.

He gives good advice :fullofwin:

[murd0c]

I was camping on the weekend and it was -21, good thing for a huge fire and lots of booze

[StylinRed]

it looks nice and warm outside :(

[jakers]

-20 aint cold, quit your bitchin

[donjalapeno]

^ yeah, when i lived in ontario i would walk home from school in -37 to -40 weather.

[Jsunu]

-20 aint cold, quit your bitchin

I dunno man -20 is still fucking cold to me since I am so used to Vancouver weather.

Its all about acclimation

Sure if I live in Calgary it would be a warm day but for me my body as adapted to certain ranges of weather and any larger variations would seem drastic, despite the fact that other regional locations experience colder conditions.

This is why people who often come from eastern Canadian get acclimated to the weather here and suddenly are unable to handle weather back east when they visit/move back, well at least for a period of time.

yeah what he said. i used to live in sasketchewan and calgary, so -20 shouldn't be anything for me. however given that i've lived in vancouver for the past 16 years, -20 is fucking cold. it's whatever you're used to. say you lived in hk for the whole 20 years of your life then you moved here, something like -5 would be frigid to you

Close the windows + crank the heat = Northern summer

[RevRav]

I don't mind the -20 weather... but at least give us some snow!

[dboy]

Hope it doesn't snow. I don't want to drive to work in the morning behind a bunch of people without snow tires driving like snails.

[Jayhall]

Theres snow in Washington State, about 30" in my friends driveway. Victoria got hammered to, yet nothing here. I'd prefer -20 rather than -1 or -2. At -20 its a dry cold. -1 is more of a damp cold, chilled right through to the bone. Last time I rode Apex is was -43 without wind chill. Cold, yet bearable. If it does snow I'll be getting paid to do snow removal on a quad with a blade so Im down.

GLOBAL COOLING WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

What a lame day to come back from Wiakiki :(

[Prolowtone]

I use to live in -60 without wind chill. Its been a few years tho so i am not as adept as i use to be. Was also a different type of cold, Northern Alberta was super dry in the winter so it was only skin deep.

On the coast's its a wet cold so you feel it in your bones instead. Not many people pay attention to that

Anyone wanna hold me?

It's only -5C......with windchill its -11C

Far off from the estimate -20C

[illicitstylz]

Fuck my doorlocks were frozen today and no de icer. Not that it'd help anyways because the little "knob" didn't even pop up when I pushed unlock on the remote, so the door mechanism itself froze?

[Teh Doucher]

if you dont have to work in the cold weather, then dont bitch.

[kouki_monster]

wtf? No way last night was -20 LOL I was outside at 3am and didn't feel anywhere close to that

[striderblade]

-20 with the windchill. but I think the wind sorta died down at 3am. I was working outside the whole night from 3 to 12. so yeah it sure feel like -15 to 20. so you were late son.

No kidding, eh? How cold can you guys get walking from your house to your car?

[penner2k]

I've been living in Calgary for a couple months and it has nothing to do with your body getting conditioned to the cold. Its all in how you dress.
In Vancouver too many ppl think that just cuz they have a thick jacket they will be warm but I have found the jacket is the least important thing.

First thing: Cotton doesnt touch the skin. Polyester does. First layer is polyester since it removes moisture from your skin. Cotton will keep it sitting there and then you end up getting cold.
Second: Cotton/Wool layer. I personally have a polyester/cotton blend "beater" that I wear over my long sleeved first layer.
Third: More layers. Remember once you are out you cant really add layers very easy but you can remove them.
Last: Wind/Moisture layer. A jacket of some sort. That will keep moisture and wind from getting in.


I was working outside all day yesterday in that -37 and was sweating. It wasnt so much that I was working hard. Its just that any heat my body was producing was staying in. Remember that heat rises so figure out how to make that work for you. Putting your gloves so they go over top of everything doesnt make sense. Any heat your hands produce will be getting lost.
I have also found that multiple layers helps with movement. Jackets for extreme temperatures usually are hard to move around in. A "lighter" jacket with lots of layers under is really easy to move around in.
