Already a “State of Emergency”

by Jordon Cooper

Sometimes we make decisions in anticipation of what will be. When the “news alert” came by email to my phone I wondered just what it would be like were the threatening “Snow-mageddon” approaching my friend Jordon in Saskatoon. Yesterday I read,

With the wind it was –35 degrees Celcius which is so cold, it freezes your cheeks so you can’t talk.

Local prognosticators tell us there will be dangerous wind chill factors. But, -31 (F)? That is what -35 (C) equates to. Perspective that is what it brings.

UPDATE: As the “Snow-pocalypse” bears down on Oklahoma the Lost Ogle alerted us to the Winter Death Watch issued for Oklahoma City, Jordon added this video to let us know how cold it is in Saskatoon. You have to watch this.

  1. I saw your weather report…. dude… I don’t even wear a winter coat in that weather and we spend the night in our uninsulated cabin in that weather. I think Mark has even slept outside in the tent last spring in that cold and he was nine.

    It’s warming up to that weather this weekend here and we have a full slate of activities planned outside. Sadly we call what you guys are experiencing a “warming trend”

    It’s seriously what you get used to. That being said, I can handle a cold January/February. It when it drags into late March and April when it gets frustrating.

    1. Well, we are accustomed to a bit of a different perspective on “warming trends.” Since we are used to the difference, we will likely still complain. 😉 Love the photos by the way.
