in the BC interior... The cold snap caused some problems though.

Some poor geese were caught off guard and were frozen into a pond near Kamloops. Friday night was about zero and slushy; dropped to -20ish over night and the wind was nuts.

And now a Gondola at Whistler collapsed because of "ice jacking".<ul><li><a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081217.wgondola1217/BNStory/National/?page=rss&amp;id=RTGAM.20081217.wgondola1217">http ://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081217.wgondola1217/BNStory/National/?page=r

Default -7 right now... -14 tomorrow... we've had lots of -20 to -30 weather already..

I'm in Sudbury. We had a -20 day last week that was -38 with the wind chill.

already have a ****load of snow up here too. More than they've had in a long time, for this early in the year.

Default I live there!

Your parents were correct.
It was in the mid -30's temps with windchill factors in the mid -40's range.
