Today is the first "real" cold day we've had since I came to the coast. -18C / 0F. (The historic average daily high for January around here is right on the freezing mark.) I heard my neighbour yell "Oh lord it's cold!" to nobody in particular when she walked out her door to go to work this morning.
But it's still far warmer than back in Ontario at the moment. Same temps you're experiencing, Tas.
The cold just makes you savour the other half (or 2/3 depending on where you live) of the year that much more.
Have we had a January thaw yet?
