-23C or about -8F here this morning, with a wind chill of -32C. We just came out of a 2 day blizzard that dumped over 18" of snow on us. Fun stuff!! I had to plow my 225 yard driveway 4 times in 24 hours becuase of the falling and drifting snow.
Grassy: Been through that part of the province a few times, and it is really beautiful country. M-I-L lives in Stellarton\New Glasgow and we visit through that area every 2 years.
Yesterday afternoon at about 5:00 PM it was -28C and this morning at 0600 it was -6C, but we now have falling snow, a mother of a Norwester blowing, and my driveway is drifting in fast..... Oh well, sheit happens.
Just showed the Boss this, she started laughing saying "See, I am not the only one that thinks this."....And she wants to know what in the hell is a brass monkey? I got not clue so.....
This is what I have been told, and this is a tidbit of info relating to it:
The phrase Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey came from the early 1700′s when sailors would stack iron cannon balls on a brass platform called a Monkey
When the weather would turn really cold and the temperature would drop drastically the brass monkey metal would contract more than the iron cannon balls and the cannon balls would roll off the brass monkey platform.
Thus the phrase Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey was originated.
Hey Mike, I've got that much snow on the mat in my entry way where we take our boots off.
It looks like Buddy Light is having fun.
Say hello to Treva, and keep safe and warm my friend.
This was my place yesterday afterwork, first snow for December.
This guy looks lonely
I give it two or three days before the rains back.....:coffee2:

Mike: If my wife got stuck with me for 4 days, she's probably snowshoe to work.

We are dealing with a huge ice storm. I have about 3/8" of solid ice and power was out for a brief time. In some areas they have 1" of ice and massive power outages that will take a while to get back up.
