Would that be the breezes from the sea or the airplanes flying very closely by???

Now that is one amazing video. I gotta admit, I didn't think the video was going to turn out the way it did.

Hard to believe people could/would rest on that beach.

Jordan, as Wilf indicated it was -33C in our area last night. The good news is that for your arrival back from Shangri-la the forecast is for -1C but there is a possibility of freezing rain. Have a safe trip back.
As for Rob, Cuba should be a nice break from winter on the prairies. I watch your brutal temperatures and shudder. Where I live we get a sh*t load more snow though. Saturday we got another 40 cm. Maybe it's all blowing here from Manitoba.
Cheers, Barry

Yes Barry, you guys in S.ON do get more snow, but it also melts. So does ours, but it waits until April. Maybe even later this year.

Usually, in years past, when I head South, manitoba goes into some kind of record setting warm spell. Not this year...here is the weeks forecast high/lows with no windchill value added:

Mon L -29
Tues H -18/L-22
Wed H -10 (heat wave, but winds gusting to 60)
Thurs H -24/L-27
Fri H -14 L-33
Sat H-14 L-21
Sun H -13 L-20



This will only continue until the end of Feb, then the unpredictable weather will begin.

At least I finally have a heated workshop to tinker with the toys through the winter months.

Default coldest ...

Rob might remember the week in Moose Jaw the temp got UP! to -56C. That was an unbelievable Canadian experience. The nose pads on my glasses froze to my nose. People left their vehicles idling all day in the parking lots.

Came back from Cuba yesterday afternoon to a virtual Manitoba heatwave: -14 at the airport. Sure a difference from the daily average of +28C in Holguin.

We are actually having a heatwave for the next two days nearing zero, and then back to below average temps of -20 and worse.

I now understand why hijackers always said "take this plane to cuba", and not Winnipeg.
