This is kind of cool but I do have one question: I notice a lot of cold-bragging going on, people talking about how it's negative -20C or -30C outside, etc. When I google typical winter temperatures in the area those people live it usually turns out that the quoted temp is the 10 or 20 year record.
And don't get me started about windchill...
- WXLCKNO 3y agoJust looked and close to me the record low was -37C but we still get -30 every winter for sure and -20 on many days throughout the winter. (Quebec) Probably just a normal distribution
- zwieback 3y agoYeah, that's legit pretty chilly. Quebec City in winter is on my bucket list.
- mrguyorama 3y agoGo visit the Carnival de Quebec! Stay in the Ice hotel! Spend too much money!
- Moru 3y agoTemperatures can be extremely variated in very short distances depending on where the cold air gets stuck and where it moves away. Just now when I did my evening ride I had to stop after 5 km and put on goggles after the temp went down 10 degrees compared to the start location. I badly regretted not putting on the extra cotton layer. On the other hand some people use an IR thermometer to measure temperature outside which gives the completely wrong temperature. Can be 10-20 degrees lower than air temperature.
