Last winter (a cold one by Toronto standards) we had several weeks where the morning temp was around -25, with a wind chill of around -40C. The daily highs were around -15C.
One winter in Montreal (the winter of 1981-82, to be exact, because my ex was preggers with our oldest) the temp didn't go ~above~ 0 F (what's that, around -20C?) for the entire month of January. Average night time low was about -40, plus wind chill.
Now ~that's~ cold...

omigosh Cotty, is that supposed to be funny?!?!?! -10?!?!? In the very
coldest time in our winter, it gets down to a very minimum of 2 degrees C at
night time, but will always still get to around the 20-25 degrees C mark
during the day. Rain I can handle, snow would be a novelty for a week or
so, but more poor hubby would have kittens if I came back with my butt
frozen off from being
-10!! I think I'll definitely be visiting in June! (which I would prefer
for the Solstices anyways)...
BTW, if you've frozen your butt off a number of times - it should be great to share the back of tvs car with you for 7, nice and ROOMY... Might even bring my pillow... ;-)
