...Gapper being slang for a Saskatchewanian. Well that post was last night and it was -37 at the time here, it warmed up to a massive -25.4 in the middle of the day here for one hour and has since settled in around -32 with a 7 knot wind giving a wind chill or simulated cold feeling of -44 according to my computer chilldex. So -20's look nice when you're on wrong side of the number. YOu can still do stuff but you have to be careful and dress proper and be very cautious you don't get wet or too sweaty if you're not near a warm place.
