Its all relative Fahrenheit

Listening to the radio during this cold snap, one could hear the disappointment in the reader's voice. Of course this related to the weather segment.

And it was cold for Toronto. It is the first time in six winters that I had to put on my mitts "before" I stepped outside. Shocked, I be.

Now the one flaw in the Toronto weather is one of insecurity. During these times they want so much to be like the ROC. They almost always use wind chill to create a better lower and cooler number.

For instance, the Brandon people will forecast a minus -25 C degrees. They mean it. Usually this is the daytime high.

Then Toronto weather person at 680News goes on about the cold weather. Places from the prairies reported minus twenties, this moment the early morning temperature. She said, "The weather in Toronto is minus eighteen, ..." Then added with tone greased with disappointment "... but with no wind, the temperature remains at -18."
