Pumping gas in Canada
Holy F**king Shit it is cold here! It has been -25 degrees F (-30C) and that is the high temp for the last 3 days. Working at a refinery here in Regina, Saskatchewan for two weeks.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...c.jpg~original no wonder all you northerners put your toys away for winter- even the extension cord for are rental car is frozen stiff. One of the work trucks also said "F*ck it, I'm out" and blew a power steering line when we started it. |

It's been cold here to Mike. Temps in the 30's. We even had light rain today, but those temps really do suck.

We're suppose to have low temps around -3 on Tuesday. We had -11 a couple years ago. I can't even imagine having to work in -30 temps.
I don't know whether to cut Sweets some slack or use it to give more flack. |

wind vs. temperature chart (windchill) say you can only work 5-10 minutes at a time with 10 minute warm up periods. -40 windchill and all non-emergency work must cease.
good news is that it may warm up to zero deg F in the next day or two. |

It was +3 Fahrenheit (-16C). It kind of felt warm, but we did lose a tire on the rental car. Ice in the bead? Will see if it holds air tomorrow...
