Root cellars are created for storing vegetables below the frost line. It has very thick walls of earth and such. There are root cellars in Newfoundland which are tourist attractions. Sheesh, I'd think y'all must have had root cellars to protect food from the heat.

Now, the question was: 'how warm is it?'

Well, just now in Happy Valley - Goose Bay, Labrador it's -15'C. & they really have snow. Of course, that's inland Labrador, many k's west and north of me. Here it's -3'C with wee bit o' white sand around.

I was reading the other day that anyone who lives in a place colder than the inside of their refrigerator needs to move. Grin

They who frequent your ski hills would disagree. They like 4 real seasons Tongue

Oh, I life 4 real seasons too, LK . . . I can just do without the WHITE one lasting so long! LOL

The other day, it was about 10 degrees (F), and, because it was windy out, the wind chill (feels like temperature) was -7 (F)!!!!

It's normally at least 30 (F) around here this time of year, so we're having a cold snap a tad early!

Oh, and we are in a "Winter Storm Watch" right now for Friday night/Saturday. (It's still Thursday night here now). We're looking at anywhere from 2 inches to 8 inches or more -- of the fluffy white stuff -- otherwise known as SNOW! It will all depend on how this storm tracks . . . I could go for 8 inches of snow . . . at least it will warm up! Right now, it's too cold to snow! Grin

Man i would have to get up an hr earlier to put all that insulation on.
Same for me shorts, bare feet, thongs when i go out.
I like looking at snow (on the telly) 20-30C (70-85F aprox) is my favorite.
Sittin outside at night with a few mates & a beer Cool

Even in the middle of winter here it might be zero in the morning, but still gets up to 20C in the day (if the suns out)

In the sixties I worked for several years in the Great Victoria Desert in Central Oz, in the summer months the temp wouldn't drop below 100deg f day or night for weeks on end. We took salt tablets and drank gallons of fluid during the day to avoid dehydration. Boots, shorts and a wide brim hat were all we wore.
During the winter months the nights were so cold you couldn't get warm.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Well, lucky US! That winter storm WATCH has now turned into a winter storm WARNING! Me and my big mouth! Grin

We're now looking at 6-10 inches and some ICE inbetween! YIKES! It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to go anywhere, but the Abbotsford Christmas Parade is tomorrow night! I'd say we won't go because of the weather, but Erica (our middle child) is IN the parade, so we HAVE to be there!

If there's ice at the time we have to be on the road, I don't care how big a fit she throws, we're not going! There's NOTHING that you can do to drive safely on ice. Snow I can handle without a problem. Just throw the truck in 4WD and GO! Slow, of course, but I can still go and not worry about it. No way to do that when it's an ice storm!

I'm charging my camera now so I can take pics for ya'all tomorrow!

Julie

PS, when I came home from the store today the temp was a balmy 10F! Anyone know where I can get some nice woolen mittens????

Nice thin, fit in any pocket lined leather gloves Julie. Not wool. Wool gets wet. Gets yer pockets wet. Leather scrapes the snow off the window for a quick open the truck and get going! Leather.

Cool
