What's it like where you are today?

South coast UK. Just walked along the seafront and feel like I've had my face peeled off.

Nice and warm, just finished 2 hours of boating.

- 18 C (0 F) in Lethbridge Alberta. It has started to warm up, some. Just about to head north to visit my wifes family is northern Saskatchewan, -24 C (-13 F). I was going to bring my new H, but..... too cold! Ah well, I still have my Tello for fun indoors.

I don't know whether to feel sympathy for you or laugh? LOL

 

[ChuckBridges]

Well, both are probably appropriate. Once you are below -10 C, it;s all relative. I used to live in Dease Lake, BC (Where I met the love of my life). 6 to 8 weeks of -40 C was typical. The coldest I saw was -54 C. Snow in early October until late May, early June. This was back in the early 80's. Wish they had drones back then. The H flying over that pristine landscape or mountains and rivers and lakes. Ah, what a beautiful thought. Might have to take a trip one day back to my old stomping grounds, but definitely NOT in winter!.

Winter's coming...save yourselves...I'm outta here

 

[AeroJ]

I was about 30 miles further inland, and it's been howling winds and drizzly rain all day. Needless to say, my H stayed firmly in its case and didn't come out to play in all that
Annoyingly we didn't get good enough snow for long enough to get any decent footage of that either ! Nope, it's very much not the season for everyday flyings...

 

[ChuckBridges]

Got up this morning to -36C. Clear skies. Old Man Winter is alive and well!

That must make for some truly stunning scenery. I guess if you're all geared up for deep cold then it's just the norm. Worst I've been in was -15°C but that was in the middle of France about 10 years ago, where the average temp was around +18°C, so we just weren't ready for that sort of cold and neither were the stores. Don't think I went outside for about a week.

When I lived up there, it didn't bother me. I have kind of wussed out as I get older. I've worked in the high arctic for a number of years. Now that is cold. with the wind blowing off the Arctic ocean and 24 hours of dark, it can get to you. Southern Alberta, this I can live with. Northern Saaskatchewan, well, I won't be sorry to go home.
