Of all the years I have lived in Edmonton (three hours north of Calgary by car), I have never experienced weather colder than -35 °C (-31 °F). Now, the weather forecast is telling me that tonight will feel as cold as -49 °C (-56 °F)! Wouldn't it be cool (pun intended) if matter, energy, and most of all, time, slowed down when it gets that cold? Although, that will not mean that I get more hours in the day to get work done. Since time is relative, I guess I will only be moving slower than everyone else in warmer parts of the world haha.

Hi there, Brody
ReplyDeleteAll of those temperatures are fearsomely cold by British standards. I don't think I've ever experienced anything much below -10C, -15C at the outside, and I'm immensely grateful that the Gulf Stream keeps Britain in a nice bath of relatively warm seawater.
I trust Calgary will be a bit warmer in early June!
Take care (and wrap up well)

We're "enjoying" +40°C here at this time of year and I'm telling you that matter, energy and time DO slow down at those temperatures. Days teaching Maths to adolescents seem to last forever, no work gets done and my bike moves very slowly on the way home.
ReplyDelete@Mark: I think Calgary gets really warm really quickly. Especially recently, it was at least above 0°C consistently. I suppose global warming has its perks.
ReplyDelete@Billy: I like the weather to be extremely cold than extremely hot lol. When I was in junior high school, the math teacher would take us out to have lessons in the shaded parking lot lol.
