T<\/span>he last couple of days I had the tune of the game ‘This Means War’<\/a> (Microprose, 1993? 1994?) in my head and that, generally, is not a good sign.\n<\/p>\n

I mean, from Thursday to Saturday the thermometer hit a new low with 30 degrees Celsius at night and in the early morning. If you can’t imagine how that feels, lets say it this way: -19 degrees is a lot warmer than -30. You can also easily tell the difference between the two temperatures: if it’s -30, whatever you breath out will freeze right on contact with the cold air. This doesn’t happen rightaway at -19 degrees Celsius.\n<\/p>\n

There were also early warnings that we’re were going to get snow on Monday (tomorrow), but today, I have already cleaned the deck twice. Tomorrow it will be a bright white day, I think.\n<\/p>\n

But I don’t want to close on a bad note, though: As they say in the US, ‘the state of the climate of New Brunswick is strong’. For example, I was always convinced that February was the coldest month of the year: However, Weather Canada says that statistically<\/em> (the numbers, the numbers), January is the coldest month<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

January is the coldest month in New Brunswick… [ ] … At Edmundston, the January mean temperature is -12.2C. As we move south, however, this coldness is gradually tempered by the effects of latitude and, to a greater extent, the sea. Along the south-eastern shores, the January mean is around -7.5C.\n<\/p>\n

Uh, although I think they have to include this years temperatures. That will probably bring the average down to, a uh, slightly bit more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
