Winnipeg (Winterpeg) has now dropped to third place for coldest cities in the world with populations over 600,000. Ulan Bator in Mongolia is first, Harbin in China is second and then Winnipeg. Coldest temperature ever recorded in Winnipeg was on February 1st, 1996 at -41.8C with a windchill of -57.1C.
Too cold for me.

Wow. Thanks. Too cold for me as well. Not for member Berkut (post #15) though ------- .2 degrees celsius colder for him YESTERDAY than that coldest EVER temp in Winnipeg (at least without the wind chill factor) . Such is Winter 280 miles from the Arctic Circle.

I'm from a tropical island in the Caribbean... I complain about any kind of weather under 70 degrees Fahrenheit. A couple of days ago it's was 0 degrees and felt like -4..... The yaris took about 2 more seconds to start, and the tps are still on I have to check my tires soon.

Brrrr...and I thought the 16-22 degrees I posted about was cold. IMO, the only thing that makes putting up with that cold for an extended period of time worth it is skiing. My second day of skiing ever (when I was 12 or 13?) was on Broadway and some of the other bunny runs below Emigrant Peak at Squaw Valley. Visibility was very poor and I was told that the wind was occasionally hitting 60 MPH..didn't deter me a bit. I loved it.
