True, but we wont get to see our roads again until early April. So until then I have to come on here listening to everybody moaning about their wet rides (maybe it's not so bad here!)

You're right, the low humidity makes it bearable, except when it's windy and then the windchill can cause frostbite within a couple of minutes.

Last Christmas Eve it was -12, and we played hockey on our local lake in short sleeves.

Friend urbane1 (what's your real name BTW???), why do you live in such a cold place. Can't you move to Vancouver, it would be a bit warmer.

It's Nigel, and we thought of Vancouver, but it is even wetter than England!!
Calgary is not that bad in the winter (although as I type this it is a total white out outside). On a good day it may be -20, but the sky will be totally cloudless and wearing a toque and gloves you can stay out for hours. And then when a Chinook comes the temp. can go up 15 degrees in a matter of hours (the record is -48 C to +9 over a 24 hour period))

We're in Old Sodbury and up on the hill, so q good few hundred feet above Bristol and it makes a massive difference to temperatures. Should have seen the snow we had last year!
