I was one of the carollers that night. Harry Connick Jr asked if we had Frostbite hospitals, I said you should come in winter... He laughed hysterically
I am from Winnipeg. I spent a week in Mexico in the summer. After the heat and humidity that was so unbelievably unbearable that you don't want any part of your body to touch any other part of your body, I vowed to NEVER complain about the cold. That was 2008. I have kept my vow.
In the late 70's Portage and Main -43 plus wind chill was pretty cold. Downtown Medicine Hat -93 with wind chill was colder. Driving out to Suffield Block the same day for work was even colder.
Wow! I did NOT know you made this movie in Winnipeg!! OMG!!! That is a whole new perspective! I grew up 8 hours east of Winnipeg and also lived in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and know well the minus 40F and 57F days....I have a whole new respect for all of you who worked on this movie! Wow! That is dedication! I hope it gave you a better understanding of Canadians. We ski down hill and cross country, go tubing, sledding and skate in minus 20 - 30 F. We who grew up in this weather are hail and hardy to the core! I love this movie and have watched it several times but now , I have got to watch it again. RESPECT!
Oh ya! I'm in Ontario and one Christmas my ex took me up north (like Cochrane) well I had never known that cold ❄ of weather...their joke is that they call -30 a nice day! And it get's to -50 ❄ well I got laughed at because I only took my long johns off to have a shower 🚿 They all thought that I was a wimp...it's a different kind of cold ❄
@@larryharder4285 fahrenheit, yeah it checks out. I've pushed carts here in -50C. Wind chill included of course. You grow up in it, it's not a big deal. U come here from Texas, sure oooh cold lol.
I'm from Selkirk ( a bit north of Winnipeg) where you shot lots of the scenes and I was also a extra on the set. It was so much fun watching the production and stars. Yup it's cold but you get a badge of honour for doing it. Us locals survive just fine as you learn the respect mother nature. Laughed my head off watching this clip and the talk of the cold that we all take from granted. We'd love you to come back for a visit, our hearts and hugs are warm.
@richardmiddleton4634 Yup, we do! As a die-hard Winnipegger, I don't even pretend to like winter anymore. I'm too old- I just admit that I'm a wuss & stay inside. LOL
Cute movie! I enjoyed it, so have also enjoyed this look behind the scenes! You could tell it was cold, but this shows exactly how cold! Yowsa! I have been cold, but these temps are ridiculous!
This was great! I live here & a local actor, and it is always fun to see how Hollywood talent react when filming in winter in Manitoba. A few years ago, i was on a big budget set and a Hollywood Director asked if i was o.k ( it was about -25) and i said, " i am fine, its still warm when you see "word smoke" but when my lines die in the cold, thats when you might want to rap for the day". That joke went around the set for the next 2 weeks. Cheers to all the local talent that make Manitoba made movies so special. ❤
New In Town is a great movie. Well worth the watch. Renee and Harry are well matched as "love interests" and Renee's assistant is so sweet and plays her part well. As for Winnipeg being cold -- just ask the Canadians. They know it's true. They are used to it.
Yup, it does get cold up here in Canada. Some mornings I would have trouble driving because the stick shift of my car was so frozen, it wouldn't stay in place and would fall back in neutral. My purse would freeze and would become solid like ice, wouldn't bend at all. Yet, as a child, regardless of the cold winters, we would go outside and play for hours. We would come back in, all frozen up with wet mittens and a runny nose, to Mom's hot chocolate and heated thermal socks. I think the tolerance to cold is now part of our DNA here in Canada. 😊
Yup, it is amazing how as kids we would spend hours outside during the coldest of days, wind blowing snow around, hitting g your face. I still remember the feeling of coming into the house ofter hours outside, and the blast of warm air would actually hurt my face. Lol I could feel my face burning for hours after inside. As an adult I went through that again for a few years, to spend time outside with my son. I would have to take many breaks to go inside. Lol We are just build different as kids. Lol
I've never seen this movie, but I was born in Winnipeg and lived the first 22 years of my life there. I live only a few hours away from there now, and yes, it's just as cold here in the winter. Some winters are more mild, but we still get a few really cold days.
Just came across this today and this was shot here in Winnipeg? Wow!! I praised & salute all the stars and creative staff behind the making of this film. For sure will watch it with my friends and family!!
This is my 72nd winter in Winnipeg. LOL. I psychologically, about 15 years ago, figured out how to trick my brain into finding the beauty in winter. Yep, it gets cold here. P.S. Our summers are Glorious!
I am in my 72nd year here in Winnipeg too. You are so right. If it weren't for the cold winters we won't appreciate the warm summers. It's only 3 months and 1 week until April. Lol
I grew up near Winnipeg. Yes it gets cold. It's all in what you wear. The technology of clothing has made great strides in helping us to stay warm on those cold days. And anything -45 C we normally stay inside due to frostbite in minutes. The windchills are a killer. Schools are also cancelled at that time. And never leave your community without a cell phone and an emergency kit in your car. It's lovely in the summer. :). This was very interesting to me.
This is all just your average cold spell days ! Lived the late fifties early sixties in Winnipeg and Saskatchewan and sure it was cold at times and loved it. But moved east to Ottawa and believe me -20 in Ottawa is colder than -45 in Winnipeg. It's dry out in the prairies and with a good winter coat, boots and mitts you can spend all day outside but the humidity in Ottawa just laughs at your clothing and reaches your body in seconds. Long live the prairie folks and good job to the film cast and especially the crew !
Once I was TDY in the Air Force at Minot AFB , North Dakota in the dead of winter when they shut down the base and sent everyone home because the wind chill was stupid cold , like -80F. I don't ever want to work 10 minutes outside , bundled up to the max , then come in to warm up for 20 minutes to go out and do it again . I'm from souhern Texas .
I'm a bit of a weather geek, and a lifer of living in the Peg. It was never -50 or -56 like that one guy embellished. Add the windchill, and yeah, it can feel -50.
I live 4 hours SE of Winnipeg.... and often times it is warmer in Winnipeg than it is in Bemidji, MN! It is because Winnipeg lies in the Red River Valley which is warmer than the zone in north central Minnesota.
Born in Winnipeg! Lol! Everything you say is on point! Ha,ha! I now live in the sunny Okanagan! We have all seasons! So lovely! So hot in the summer but we still have winter skiing and boarding! The best! Come visit! 🥰🙏🦋🌻
Now you all know why we Winnipeggers can't help but laugh out loud when we see Americans from southern States complaining about how "cold" it is where they are at certain times of the year. You don't know what cold is. I do, however, always respect whenever someone from N. Minnesota mentions coldness, because that region is often on a par with our winter up here in the 'Peg, sometimes in rare winters even worse.
My sister lived across the creek from the house where filming took place. She said the bright lights shone all night. Yup winters are cold here but that is why we love the hot summers at the beaches here in Manitoba.
Growing up in and around Winnipeg and Selkirk as a kid in the 1970s and '80s we loved going out on the coldest days to play hockey on frozen rinks, -30 was ideal, by the end of the first period you're so hot and sweaty it felt sooooo good to open your coat and take off your toque to let the cold air wash over you, refreshing like an ice bucket challenge. You get the same feeling if you spend an hour shoveling snow, the cold air is a welcome reward for working up a sweat.
LMAO as a local to Winnipeg and living in the mountains in Banff before I can say this all checks out, Winnipeg has some next level of cold. I hate it lol
It’s warmer here in Winnipeg for longer through the year than Churchill Manitoba. I remember Australian tourists putting together that for a few weeks most year we are colder than mars. They were from Adelaide they handled it like a new sense they had just discovered, no complaints just amazement. And one winter Meeting refugees at the airport the man said “why is the air trying to kill me!?” I shouldn’t have laughed so hard.
I've lived in Manitoba all of my life. The coldest I've experienced is -40. That's a straight temperature. That's without wind chill. Usually, when it goes colder than that it's either up north or it's with the wind chill. Regardless, you grow up here, it's just part of life. You deal with it.
They should try being cattle ranchers on the prairies in winter, when it's -50 and tractors are frozen and nothing will start! I never knew how my Dad and brothers did it! I do love this movie and recognized the old Winnipeg airport before all of the renovations. Wish I could have been a caroller! It IS freezing, but nothing is colder than Nunavut in January. It was -68 the last time I was there. That's CELCIUS! I thought I was in reverse hell. 😂
When the snow SQUEAKS when you walk on it, you might be in Winterpeg… 😂 (It’s funny that even the film director from Denmark 🇩🇰 found it friggin’ freezing 🥶, since that guy is from Nordic Viking stock!)

Canadians are the sweetest people on earth..........Until you piss us off , then not so much
I grew up in North Dakota, but moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada about 10+ years ago due to a romance. I can honestly say that Winnipeg was the coldest place I'd ever lived in my entire life, in more ways than one. My few months in 'The Peg' was more than enough!
I was born and raised in rural Saskatchewan. I also lived in Winnipeg for 4 years in the eighties. I eventually moved back to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I tell people I moved back to Saskatchewan to get warm. Every winter I was there, the temperature was -25 to -30 every single day from Christmas to spring thaw. In Saskatchewan, we would get periods during the winter where it was -10 or even warmer. This would happen every four to six weeks. Winnipeg is brutally cold every damn day for three or four months in a row. I once got mild frostbite because I took off my glove to make a phone call. Yea, -30 is no longer cold. It's painful.
I saw them filming this movie at the old terminal building at the Winnipeg Airport….we were told we couldn’t take pictures. When I watched the movie, it barely made it in.
When the heck was this shot? We haven't had minus 50 without windshield in years. In fact, in my 66 years I can only remember one winter where the mercury actually went down to -50.
I was born in Winnipeg in December. I see the temperatures in the southern states and know I'd never survive a summer there. +25c or -30c is my comfort zone.
I live in winnipeg and if it gets to -40 to -50 (with wind chill) it is horrific. All you do is go from house to car to work to car to home and just try to survive. Weather like that is usually only a few weeks. I have to say in the last few years winters have been warmer. Right now in late December it's -2 Celcius and yesterday it was above freezing. I think global warming is not so bad for us. And on the upside, we don't get tornadoes, hurricanes, limited wild fires and Winnipeg has a floodway in spring. Expect a couple weeks in January at -30 but that should be the worst of it.
@@CrankyGroundhog Winnipeg has never had a tornado. Over the past 40 years, Manitoba has experienced approximately 20 to 30 rated tornadoes (F3/EF3 or higher). This includes the notable F5/EF5 tornado in Elie, Manitoba, in 2007.
0:50 When writing, find out what's painful and make it even more painful. WHAT?!! That's just sadistic! And I'm saying this as a Canadian who's used to the cold! 🥶😂
Yes, but it’s a dry cold….as Winnipegers always say as rebuttal…. And as a former Winnipeger, I know the winters🥶 BUT….licence plates say ‘Friendly Manitoba’….and that is true, a saving grace, you might say? By the way, 56 below is with wind chill…the wind adds to it. 😁👏😁
The difference between a Canadian Prairie winter and a winter in New York and New England or even Ottawa and Toronto is that our air is less humid, it's a more crispy cold that can sometimes feel like it burns, the snow falls like tiny little ice particles behind 70km winds, wind chill factor can make -30 feel like -50 or -10 feel like -20 which is what we consider warm weather, y'all in Minnesota and the Dakotas know what I mean. The air East of the Great Lakes is more humid, the snowflakes fall in big billowy puffs you can catch on your tongue and it's great for making snowballs, our Winnipeg snow is like dry powder, there's no cohesive moisture to hold it together into a ball unless you pack them so tight they feel like getting hit with a baseball, but you can facewash someone, it burns like rubbing sandpaper on your face.
I have experienced the eastern humid winter and it’s brutal compared to non humid western province’s. Like night and day. Grateful for little humidity in our winters.
@@sueDcdn3 Winnipeg is the coldest city with a population over 100,000 in the Western hemisphere, it's also one of the top hottest cities in the summer. I just watched a video yesterday that was uploaded on December 31, 2024 on the YT travel/educational channel 'From Here To There' titled "Why 800,000 People Live In America's Coldest City" and the host goes over all the temperature statistics over the past century to prove Winnipeg owns that title. It runs about an hour & fifteen minutes and has got a lot of statistical data for the nerd in you. This is from the video's description; "Winnipeg, often nicknamed "Winterpeg" is the Coldest Major City in Canada due to it's location near the Canadian Shield in the Canadian Prairies. (We also call it "Windypeg" the wind has been known to blow semi-trucks and buses over on the Perimeter Highway) The average year round temperature is just 2.9°C, and 12 days each year experience a windchill BELOW -40°C! The lowest air temperature ever recorded was -47.8°C, but the windchill has dipped below -57.1°C or -70.8°F! Meaning, the weather is often colder here than McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and for a few months each year, even colder than the South Pole!"
@@sueDcdn3 Also want to add that I literally, moments before logging into YT and reading your reply, just watched a movie called Yoga Hosers set in Winnipeg starring Johnny Depp and his daughter Lily Rose as well as Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn (yeah he really named his kid that). It's about two clerks at an Eh-2-Zed convenience store on Portage & Main (where the Bank Of Montreal is in this video) who have to fight an invasion of Bratzis, little Hitler clones made out of sausage, using their deadly yoga skills. It's got a lot of cameos, as a Kevin Smith movie usually does, even one by Stan Lee.
I lived around there when I was a child. Its where someone dared me to lick a metal fence post. Yah and they took off and left me screaming and crying.
There’s 750 thousand of us that live here and that’s just an average January. What do you do when it’s that cold? You go ice fishing or take your skates to the out door rink and enjoy the winter while it’s there because summer is coming. Our summers hit 95 F. So we get the best of both worlds.
This is one of my favourite movies! Its funny I live in Canada, listening to this, sounds like its a torture chamber they had to go through…. 😫 haha it IS!
Lived in Winnipeg and in northern rural Manitoba my whole life of 54 years. It does NOT reach the temperatures said in this video. Completely over exaggerated for drama. -56 WITH the wind maybe. Never without the wind. -30 to -35 Celsius is a very cold winter day in Manitoba, without wind chill.
I lived in Winnipeg for 5 years. I bet they filmed this in January the coldest month - minus 30C every day for a month. It’s manageable but you’ve got to give up any desire to look good.
My dad who came from the Netherlands in the 1950's, would often lose his 'cool' over the Winnipeg winters and wonder 'why the hell anyone would move to this godforsaken place!'....especially when the car wouldn't start or there would be a mountain of snow and ice to shovel after a snowstorm. I was born in Winnipeg, so I didn't think it was that bad until I moved to a warmer climate and realized that most people don't have these problems.
I've lived in Winnipeg for over 50 years now and it can get frosty but Oymyakon, Russia is apparently the coldest inhabited place in the World. I tell myself that so I feel better about it. 🌬☃
Keep in mind, these temperatures are with the wind chill factor not actual air temperature. We don't get more than a few days of more than 30 degrees below zero per winter on average anymore. Come in the summer for warm and livable weather!
1:40 The Garry Theatre, I've seen so many movies there in the early 1980s when it was the only theatre in Selkirk, my friend Dennis's older sister worked there and would let us in to see age restricted movies like Porky's and The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. Ziggy's Arcade was across the street, my home away from home. There were 3 video game arcades in town and only one movie theatre, Lion's Lair at the Met Mall and the pool hall next door to The Garry had a few good games like Joust and Battlezone. The only Pac Man game was at the 7-11 near the steel mill.
I never realized this film was made in winnipeg, but I loved it before I knew that. It was quite comical, in my opinion, but pretty real. I’m enjoying this clip as much as I enjoyed the movie, much love from southern manitoba.
I live in an equally cold Canadian city and I can tell you that everybody exagerrates when it comes to the cold. If it's -30C they say it was -40C. If the windchill is -50 they say that was the actual temperature. So if you really want to know how cold it was just subtract a good 10 degrees from anything people say (18 fahrenheit)
I don't wear my glasses anymore because of the cold, fogging got too annoying so I just got used to seeing blurry. Since I stopped watching those old rear projection televisions about 20 years ago my vision has actually gotten better.
Even Winnipeggger's avoid going outside at -50.....all the schools shut down and cars won't even start unless they are plugged in when not in use. But as someone born in southern Ontario, that now lives in Winnipeg, I would rather -50 in Winnipeg than -10 in Ontario.
They were saying it got down to -57 with windchill. I live in Winnipeg and I remember some cold days...but -57 would be people dieing in the cold. So I asked AI when filming for this movie occurred in Winnipeg and AI said November 2007. I then asked AI for temperatures in Nov 2007 what were the daily temperatures in november 2007? In November 2007, the daily temperatures in Winnipeg varied quite a bit. The average high temperature was around -2°C (28°F), while the average low temperature was about -12°C (10°F). There were some warmer days reaching up to 5°C (41°F), but also colder days dropping to -20°C (-4°F) or lower. I don't see any -56 degrees
It's been about 15 years since I worked on that movie and AI probably referenced when pre-production started or prep as they call it.. believe me it was that cold.. I think it was January.. it was as cold as they say it was.. I was outside hooking up a trailer at -40 in a blizzard and Renee came walking by and took the time to stop and asked me how I was and if I was okay.. she's a real sweetheart❤.. if they say minus 57 don't forget there from the US and that would have been-57 Fahrenheit
February 2007. Worked outdoors. Above average way above average temperatures in Nov Dec. Jan was cooler. Then a ice storm hit. Minus 35 C during the day. Minus 49c at night. Minus 57 windchill.
@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. Yeah, AI must have gotten it wrong when it said Nov but -49 is just brutal in Jan with a blizzard. Movie got "lucky" because they wanted winnipeg cold to be a character. To careful what you ask for.

Born in Winnipeg! Lol! Everything you say is on point! Ha,ha! I now live in the sunny Okanagan! We have all seasons! So lovely! So hot in the summer but we still have winter skiing and boarding! The best! Come visit! 🥰🙏🦋🌻
I love the way the crew and
Miss Renne handled that day
Absolutely love this movie. I watch it quarterly, will never get sick of it🥰
Now you all know why we Winnipeggers can't help but laugh out loud when we see Americans from southern States complaining about how "cold" it is where they are at certain times of the year. You don't know what cold is. I do, however, always respect whenever someone from N. Minnesota mentions coldness, because that region is often on a par with our winter up here in the 'Peg, sometimes in rare winters even worse.
My sister lived across the creek from the house where filming took place. She said the bright lights shone all night. Yup winters are cold here but that is why we love the hot summers at the beaches here in Manitoba.
Hello I'm from Winnipeg ah it's great it's adventure. Experience carry with you find Winnipegers all over the world. Bachman song 50 below
Growing up in and around Winnipeg and Selkirk as a kid in the 1970s and '80s we loved going out on the coldest days to play hockey on frozen rinks, -30 was ideal, by the end of the first period you're so hot and sweaty it felt sooooo good to open your coat and take off your toque to let the cold air wash over you, refreshing like an ice bucket challenge. You get the same feeling if you spend an hour shoveling snow, the cold air is a welcome reward for working up a sweat.
LMAO as a local to Winnipeg and living in the mountains in Banff before I can say this all checks out, Winnipeg has some next level of cold. I hate it lol
I have lived there. It is cold BUT you get use to it and dress for the weather. We do lots outside in the cold.
As a guy who was born and raised near Winnipeg I can concur, it's 🥶
It’s warmer here in Winnipeg for longer through the year than Churchill Manitoba. I remember Australian tourists putting together that for a few weeks most year we are colder than mars. They were from Adelaide they handled it like a new sense they had just discovered, no complaints just amazement. And one winter Meeting refugees at the airport the man said “why is the air trying to kill me!?” I shouldn’t have laughed so hard.
I'm from selkirk just saw our Garry theatre..cool. Will take our weather any day over the flooding and fires burning😂
I've lived in Manitoba all of my life. The coldest I've experienced is -40. That's a straight temperature. That's without wind chill. Usually, when it goes colder than that it's either up north or it's with the wind chill. Regardless, you grow up here, it's just part of life. You deal with it.
They should try being cattle ranchers on the prairies in winter, when it's -50 and tractors are frozen and nothing will start! I never knew how my Dad and brothers did it! I do love this movie and recognized the old Winnipeg airport before all of the renovations. Wish I could have been a caroller! It IS freezing, but nothing is colder than Nunavut in January. It was -68 the last time I was there. That's CELCIUS! I thought I was in reverse hell. 😂
@@paulinegauthier1867 ^ This though. lol
It’s so cold in Winnipeg that once I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.
🤣🤣🤣
When the snow SQUEAKS when you walk on it, you might be in Winterpeg… 😂 (It’s funny that even the film director from Denmark 🇩🇰 found it friggin’ freezing 🥶, since that guy is from Nordic Viking stock!)
Canadians are the sweetest people on earth..........Until you piss us off , then not so much
Especially behind the rule of a dos team!! Crazy wonderful! 😜
I grew up in North Dakota, but moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada about 10+ years ago due to a romance. I can honestly say that Winnipeg was the coldest place I'd ever lived in my entire life, in more ways than one. My few months in 'The Peg' was more than enough!
When in Canada we are minus 57 celsius is actually minus 70.6 Farenheight which makes it as cold as Russia
She is my fav
Never seen this movie. But i will be watching it soon!
I lived in Winnipeg and never had -57 degrees. -49 was the coldest i experienced and only for a couple of days in January
I was born and raised in rural Saskatchewan. I also lived in Winnipeg for 4 years in the eighties. I eventually moved back to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I tell people I moved back to Saskatchewan to get warm. Every winter I was there, the temperature was -25 to -30 every single day from Christmas to spring thaw. In Saskatchewan, we would get periods during the winter where it was -10 or even warmer. This would happen every four to six weeks. Winnipeg is brutally cold every damn day for three or four months in a row.
I once got mild frostbite because I took off my glove to make a phone call. Yea, -30 is no longer cold. It's painful.
Lived in Winnipeg but now even further north in Manitoba! Love it but its cold!🥶😛
On the other hand the ladies from Winnipeg are really good looking because they are in cryogenic suspension 6 months of the year
😂😂😂😂😂 Comment of the year!
I saw them filming this movie at the old terminal building at the Winnipeg Airport….we were told we couldn’t take pictures. When I watched the movie, it barely made it in.
When the heck was this shot? We haven't had minus 50 without windshield in years. In fact, in my 66 years I can only remember one winter where the mercury actually went down to -50.
Don't forget they are Americans talking about it being -50f and without windchill, that's only -30c. Many such days in Winnipeg in January in 2024.
@@dragan4658 -50F = -45C
@@dragan4658
For reference, -40 is the same in both F and C. And yes, temperatures below -40 to -45 are very rare.
As a winnipeger... who wears "spectacles" it's even more fun when you have to keep move and live here
I was born in Winnipeg in December. I see the temperatures in the southern states and know I'd never survive a summer there. +25c or -30c is my comfort zone.
They are called snotcicles in Canada.
The cold… to Winnipegers it was just a Tuesday.
I live in winnipeg and if it gets to -40 to -50 (with wind chill) it is horrific. All you do is go from house to car to work to car to home and just try to survive. Weather like that is usually only a few weeks. I have to say in the last few years winters have been warmer. Right now in late December it's -2 Celcius and yesterday it was above freezing. I think global warming is not so bad for us. And on the upside, we don't get tornadoes, hurricanes, limited wild fires and Winnipeg has a floodway in spring. Expect a couple weeks in January at -30 but that should be the worst of it.
Yeah Larry, global warming is great... 🙄.
The Winnipeg area absolutely does get tornados.
@@CrankyGroundhog Winnipeg has never had a tornado. Over the past 40 years, Manitoba has experienced approximately 20 to 30 rated tornadoes (F3/EF3 or higher). This includes the notable F5/EF5 tornado in Elie, Manitoba, in 2007.
0:50 When writing, find out what's painful and make it even more painful. WHAT?!! That's just sadistic! And I'm saying this as a Canadian who's used to the cold! 🥶😂
Yes, but it’s a dry cold….as Winnipegers always say as rebuttal…. And as a former Winnipeger, I know the winters🥶 BUT….licence plates say ‘Friendly Manitoba’….and that is true, a saving grace, you might say? By the way, 56 below is with wind chill…the wind adds to it. 😁👏😁
The difference between a Canadian Prairie winter and a winter in New York and New England or even Ottawa and Toronto is that our air is less humid, it's a more crispy cold that can sometimes feel like it burns, the snow falls like tiny little ice particles behind 70km winds, wind chill factor can make -30 feel like -50 or -10 feel like -20 which is what we consider warm weather, y'all in Minnesota and the Dakotas know what I mean. The air East of the Great Lakes is more humid, the snowflakes fall in big billowy puffs you can catch on your tongue and it's great for making snowballs, our Winnipeg snow is like dry powder, there's no cohesive moisture to hold it together into a ball unless you pack them so tight they feel like getting hit with a baseball, but you can facewash someone, it burns like rubbing sandpaper on your face.
I have experienced the eastern humid winter and it’s brutal compared to non humid western province’s. Like night and day. Grateful for little humidity in our winters.
@@sueDcdn3 Winnipeg is the coldest city with a population over 100,000 in the Western hemisphere, it's also one of the top hottest cities in the summer. I just watched a video yesterday that was uploaded on December 31, 2024 on the YT travel/educational channel 'From Here To There' titled "Why 800,000 People Live In America's Coldest City" and the host goes over all the temperature statistics over the past century to prove Winnipeg owns that title. It runs about an hour & fifteen minutes and has got a lot of statistical data for the nerd in you.
This is from the video's description;
"Winnipeg, often nicknamed "Winterpeg" is the Coldest Major City in Canada due to it's location near the Canadian Shield in the Canadian Prairies. (We also call it "Windypeg" the wind has been known to blow semi-trucks and buses over on the Perimeter Highway)
The average year round temperature is just 2.9°C, and 12 days each year experience a windchill BELOW -40°C! The lowest air temperature ever recorded was -47.8°C, but the windchill has dipped below -57.1°C or -70.8°F! Meaning, the weather is often colder here than McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and for a few months each year, even colder than the South Pole!"
@@sueDcdn3 Also want to add that I literally, moments before logging into YT and reading your reply, just watched a movie called Yoga Hosers set in Winnipeg starring Johnny Depp and his daughter Lily Rose as well as Kevin Smith's daughter Harley Quinn (yeah he really named his kid that). It's about two clerks at an Eh-2-Zed convenience store on Portage & Main (where the Bank Of Montreal is in this video) who have to fight an invasion of Bratzis, little Hitler clones made out of sausage, using their deadly yoga skills. It's got a lot of cameos, as a Kevin Smith movie usually does, even one by Stan Lee.
I lived around there when I was a child. Its where someone dared me to lick a metal fence post. Yah and they took off and left me screaming and crying.
There’s 750 thousand of us that live here and that’s just an average January. What do you do when it’s that cold? You go ice fishing or take your skates to the out door rink and enjoy the winter while it’s there because summer is coming. Our summers hit 95 F. So we get the best of both worlds.
Hey we go walking sledding and fishing in this weather. We are tough but lovely
This is one of my favourite movies! Its funny I live in Canada, listening to this, sounds like its a torture chamber they had to go through…. 😫 haha it IS!
Ive lived in Winnipeg Mb for 56 years. -56 is exaggerated. -40 sometimes. Usually around the -25 mark.
I just looked at the weather records for that time. About the lowest it got was -35C (-31F)
Fahrenheit people. They are American
Lived in Winnipeg and in northern rural Manitoba my whole life of 54 years. It does NOT reach the temperatures said in this video. Completely over exaggerated for drama. -56 WITH the wind maybe. Never without the wind. -30 to -35 Celsius is a very cold winter day in Manitoba, without wind chill.
-56F maybe, not celsuis.
Yes Fahrenheit. Yankees don't use metric.
I lived in Winnipeg for 5 years. I bet they filmed this in January the coldest month - minus 30C every day for a month. It’s manageable but you’ve got to give up any desire to look good.
I was working that night. It was so cold that day they used a blow dryer to warm up Renes feet.
This was partly shot just down at the end of our street. That week was REALLY COLD, even by Winnipeg standards.
My dad who came from the Netherlands in the 1950's, would often lose his 'cool' over the Winnipeg winters and wonder 'why the hell anyone would move to this godforsaken place!'....especially when the car wouldn't start or there would be a mountain of snow and ice to shovel after a snowstorm. I was born in Winnipeg, so I didn't think it was that bad until I moved to a warmer climate and realized that most people don't have these problems.
I've lived in Winnipeg for over 50 years now and it can get frosty but Oymyakon, Russia is apparently the coldest inhabited place in the World. I tell myself that so I feel better about it. 🌬☃
U can drive 10 hours north of Winnipeg
And youd still be well south of Rankin Inlet which is in a larger “state” than Manitoba
Keep in mind, these temperatures are with the wind chill factor not actual air temperature. We don't get more than a few days of more than 30 degrees below zero per winter on average anymore. Come in the summer for warm and livable weather!
1:40 The Garry Theatre, I've seen so many movies there in the early 1980s when it was the only theatre in Selkirk, my friend Dennis's older sister worked there and would let us in to see age restricted movies like Porky's and The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas. Ziggy's Arcade was across the street, my home away from home. There were 3 video game arcades in town and only one movie theatre, Lion's Lair at the Met Mall and the pool hall next door to The Garry had a few good games like Joust and Battlezone. The only Pac Man game was at the 7-11 near the steel mill.
I never realized this film was made in winnipeg, but I loved it before I knew that. It was quite comical, in my opinion, but pretty real. I’m enjoying this clip as much as I enjoyed the movie, much love from southern manitoba.
I live in Winnipeg. You get used to the cold. Yes. Really!
Renee looks very much Icelandic… I would tour the north with her anytime!! 🤪
THAT'S what enduring Canadians are. Hahaha.
I live in an equally cold Canadian city and I can tell you that everybody exagerrates when it comes to the cold. If it's -30C they say it was -40C. If the windchill is -50 they say that was the actual temperature. So if you really want to know how cold it was just subtract a good 10 degrees from anything people say (18 fahrenheit)
I don't wear my glasses anymore because of the cold, fogging got too annoying so I just got used to seeing blurry. Since I stopped watching those old rear projection televisions about 20 years ago my vision has actually gotten better.
Yip…its cold here in Winnipeg
I grew up in a small town Manitoba.....the cold is real
OK … I was there…yes a bit cold but no where near as cold as they make it out to be! Lived here all my life and have never experienced -50.
Some comments are just wild. My kids go on school field trips in a -50F days
LOL AS A WINNIPEGGER BORN AN RAISED 😅😂 ITS NOT THST COLD! I AM A DAILY LIVE STREAMER AN I GO LIVE FOR HOURS HOLDING A PHONE WITH NO GLOVES..
Even Winnipeggger's avoid going outside at -50.....all the schools shut down and cars won't even start unless they are plugged in when not in use. But as someone born in southern Ontario, that now lives in Winnipeg, I would rather -50 in Winnipeg than -10 in Ontario.
Schools do not close down.
EVERYONE should have been wearing a Resolute Canada Goose!
They torture animals for those coats. Plucking geese alive and trapping coyotes is awful practice. Get a humane coat.
You mean “Snow Mantra”!
@ Back when this film was made, it was called the Resolute. I owned one. Great coat.
Even Canada thinks Winnipeg is cold, Winterpeg😀.
Okay, it was cold. We get it.
They were saying it got down to -57 with windchill. I live in Winnipeg and I remember some cold days...but -57 would be people dieing in the cold. So I asked AI when filming for this movie occurred in Winnipeg and AI said November 2007. I then asked AI for temperatures in Nov 2007
what were the daily temperatures in november 2007?
In November 2007, the daily temperatures in Winnipeg varied quite a bit. The average high temperature was around -2°C (28°F), while the average low temperature was about -12°C (10°F). There were some warmer days reaching up to 5°C (41°F), but also colder days dropping to -20°C (-4°F) or lower.
I don't see any -56 degrees
It's been about 15 years since I worked on that movie and AI probably referenced when pre-production started or prep as they call it.. believe me it was that cold.. I think it was January.. it was as cold as they say it was.. I was outside hooking up a trailer at -40 in a blizzard and Renee came walking by and took the time to stop and asked me how I was and if I was okay.. she's a real sweetheart❤.. if they say minus 57 don't forget there from the US and that would have been-57 Fahrenheit
@@calvinpochinko4277 ok, if it was january there was quite a few days at -30 C and there was a blizzard.
You gotta remember that -57F would be around -45C.
We've often had wind chills in the mid to upper -40s.
February 2007. Worked outdoors. Above average way above average temperatures in Nov Dec. Jan was cooler. Then a ice storm hit. Minus 35 C during the day. Minus 49c at night. Minus 57 windchill.
@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. Yeah, AI must have gotten it wrong when it said Nov but -49 is just brutal in Jan with a blizzard. Movie got "lucky" because they wanted winnipeg cold to be a character. To careful what you ask for.
Yup it gets cold here lol
