A roommate was explaining to a friend from Cairo that we plug in an extension chord from an outside outlet to a block heater in our cars. His friend thought he was messing with him 😂
Seeing a Canadian in the snow with pants/shorts and a tshirt is relatively normal (especially if they're shoveling their driveway). Usually the only time you layer up is a) it's super cold like -50 or b) you're going skiing/snowboarding.
We use our garage to store random crap, projects on the go, an old mg and of course the extra beer fridge.
We layer in the winter so a layer can be removed before sweating. Sweating in the cold can freeze you quickly. Winter hiking and camping has taught me that quickly!
If you park your car in the garage, that's another 10-12 feet long in the driveway that you have to shovel. If the car is parked there, you can start the car and let it defrost (interior of windows ice up, too) while you shovel around it and out to the street. Under the car isn't likely packed with snow unless it was very windy when the snow fell. 😊
Going outside in a tanktop/tshirt is 100% true. It's the only way I can comfortably shovel my driveway (otherwise, I get too hot. Also, if you're just running to the store, pants, a jacket, and toque are acceptable. If you're going skiing/snowboarding, you dress in layers (long underwear, long sleeve shirt, sweater, jacket, snowpants, toque, and waterproof gloves.
And in winter you don’t have to plug in that fridge. I use my garage in winter as a big refrigerator. Great at Christmas and New Years. All the extra food and leftovers stored on top of the freezers!
Garage for a vehicle? What the hell is that LMFAO. Mother nature is my garage LOL 😂😂😂
In my arctic military training we would be down into our t shirts and light unzipped jackets when we were doing our 32k forced march. We would only layer back up after we had rested and let our sweat evaporate off us. If we allowed that sweat to stay on our clothes i can guarantee some of us would have ended up hypothermic. It’s a serious thing.
People usually start Bitching about the cold when it hits -20 but you also need to check the wind chill and humidity. A wet humid cold is worse than a dry cold
Well in Manitoba it gets too COLD to be wet
@@dawnknox4640 which is why I dont want to visit Manitoba in the winter :) Montreal is bad enough. Humid and a cold that goes through everything. At least when its a dry cold, its usually sunny. At least here it is.
I dare you to come stand next to the lakes in the middle of winter with that snow effect and cold front going... it's lovely. It's humid and cold...
@dawnknox4640 yeah it's different... -40 is also dry and cold here... but the humidity... duuuuude. Cuts through your coat...
-10 on the west coast is honestly on par with -25 in the prairies
i grew up near vancouver and moved to southern alberta last year and if it wasn’t for the wind, winter wouldn’t even be that bad lol
Those White houses that look like miniatures are real. It gets pretty windy around lake Eerie and the mist will freeze on the houses into a very thick layer of ice. Same things can happen in the Maritimes during winter if cars are parked too close to the sea.
The houses in the foreground are on lake view lots. At that moment, they were no view lots because they took a direct hit from the icy wind, picking up moisture as it blew across the entire lake. That's why the houses and trees farther back had progressively less frost on them.
Its always warmer when its snowing(low pressure). Its when it clears up and the sky is blue that it gets really cold(high pressure).
Most of the winter it's just too cold to snow .. but once it warms up a bit we get a good healthy snow fall , that snow insulates the houses , and while it's warmer it's a good idea to get out and get some fresh air .. once it gets to -45c again if you go out too long your nose freezes shut and ice crystals form in your lungs and can cause pneumonia..
Also .... Dressing in multiple layers keeps the warmth from your body close to you ... Outer layers block the cold , inner layers keep in the warmth
Yup, to snow there needs to be moisture in the air. -20 Celsius is about where the air becomes too cold to hold moisture.
I spent one winter in Peace River Alberta. It hit -65C with the windchill. Life kept going for me, work, grocery shopping... Layers are definitely the way to go.
-52C was the worse i ever felt in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Had to walk to school and it was pretty darn cold, anything that isn't covered hurts.
Yeah in northern Quebec at -51C . It was so cold it actually felt like windburn.
I’m not sure about the accuracy of this, but two things I’ve heard over the years:
1 the water droplets in the air give off a minuscule amount of heat when they freeze into snowflakes, so it’s closer to zero when it snows
2. A blanket of clouds holds heat to the ground, so an overcast day may not feel as cold as a clear sunny day.
I'm not sure about the science behind the first 1, but both are true.
Idk about the snow flakes given my off heat, but I do know that it's unlikely to snow below about -15°C. Most of the snow you see at that point has already fallen and is just being blown around by the wind.
And yes, cloud cover acts like an insulating blanket. Incidentally, so does snow. A thick layer of snow will only allow the ground to get to a certain temperature (because water molecules can only get so cold) while if there's no snow, the ground van get much colder (permafrost)
Here in Newfoundland and Labrador (Canada's most easterly province), we get SNOWFALL. For calendar year 2021 (from January 2021 to December 2021) we received 319.6cm of snow. And that's not a record. Highest snowfall for my hometown (St. John's NL) this year was 53cm on 8th March 2024...that's in a single 24 hour period. Wear layers, check the seals at wrists and neck, and be careful of your back when you're shoveling. Side note: not a lot of houses have a garage round here.
Whenever I think we had a lot of snow here in Eastern Ontario, I look at you folks in Newfoundland and I am humbled.
The Ottawa record was 450cm..at the end we were cheering for the last storm that would at least make us break the record. It kept coming day after day 30 cm each time
But usually a door on the second level to get out!
A lot of the material for this video was obviously made by Canadians who don’t live on either coast. I’m from Nova Scotia where we don’t get -50c. We get as much rain as snow during the winter and -25 with wind chill would be considered a cold snap. Snow-sleet-rain-freeze-ice-thaw-slush-repeat. And that can all happen in one day. 😜
Same here in Saint John, New Brunswick. Four seasons in one day. We had 4 day cold snap in 03 were it was-50s. But the-25 is cold. I prefer July and Aug. I hate winter. But we survive.
Once the temp drops to a certain point it us too cold to snow. That is when you start to feel it. If you get so cold you stop sweating that becomes an issue as well.
In Canada they laugh at Australian survival programs, walk around there in flip flops and shorts for 6 months of the year your'll freeze to death. And as for swimming , hypothermia will get you 8 months of the year, Unless your in the far north then there's usually 2 or even sometimes 3 days in August when it's okay to go swimming in the lake without a wet suit . That's if there's no bears or timber wolves about , and you can stand the mosquitoes and black flies . Not those sissy mosquitoes you have in Aus. but tough little monkeys that can stand minus 60 winters. But be warned ,as any ex-pat will tell you , if 1 day your standing up to your ass in snow, trying to find your car in a 12 ft. drift, in balmy minus 15 weather, a Canadian will tell you ."Oh this is nothing , I remember when I was Kid we had real winters".
haha -15 is barely winter. I saw -55C one night in Northwestern Ontario.
@@alanj9978 See ,You prove my point , I'm talking about being up to my butt in snow, can't even see my car , minus !5 with a wind chill of minus 30 and along comes you . a Canadian , saying ha ha it's barely winter it gets a lot colder than this,
Some people have block heaters to keep the engine warm.
'Victoria, BC, on Southern Vancouver Island is located in a temperate, sub-Mediterranean climate zone. This results in the mildest climate in Canada with comfortable dry summers with low humidity and onshore breezes to keep it cool; and winters where the temperature rarely falls below freezing.'
Northwest BC is also part of a temperate rainforest (Great Bear)…the coastal region is equally temperate.
That's where I live now, but I grew up in Ontario. I do NOT miss shoveling snow!
That is not much snow on that car, and it takes less than two minutes to clean it off. Most people do not bother to shovel if it is that much snow and just drive through it, though if you did shovel it does not take that long since it is the light an fluffy version of snow. Most people do not have a garage.
Although, the worst part is the end of the driveway. If the snowplow already went by then you may be blocked in, and if you do not keep on top of clearing that part it hardens. The feeling you get when you have almost completely shoveled your driveway, and then you hear the rumble of the snowplow coming up the street, is hard to describe.
There is a block heater in most cars in the cold parts of Canada, and we pug it in overnight to ensure we can turn the car on in the morning. Many new cars have an auto start that you can turn on by pressing a button on your key fob from inside your home, and the car runs and heats the car, making it easier to clear off and your car can drive without any issues. If you do not have an auto start you have to go outside early, start your car, and let it run.
Diesel engines require block heaters to keep the coolant warm for starting. The engine still cranks over slowly though. Farmers use tractors in winter for chores like snow removal, feed distribution from silos and manure spreading on fields.
Exactly! And if you're stupid and forget to plug your tractor in when you start cranking it over you don't stop cranking until the bitch fires due to the fact you might not get a second chance of cranking. Ether is also a farmer's best friend! And no ether doesn't blow up the motor I use it on gas engines all the time
Gas engines do, too. The block heater keeps the oil in the engine liquid enough to turn over. Diesel actually needs to be reformulated for the winter, as normal diesel would turn into jelly much below freezing.
As for formulation, in Canada and northern USA, we use "Diesel No. 1" in winter months, which is basically kerosene, with some additives for fuel pump lubrication. Roughly late March, fuel companies switch back to Diesel No. 2, which is conventional diesel fuel.
When you travel to remote northern towns in Canada, after you disembark from the airplane say in High Level, Alberta instead of receiving a flower lei as a welcome gesture [welcome to Hawaii] you receive an extension cord around your neck from the car rental company [welcome to High Level] so you plug the block heater under your car battery in overnight thus ensuring the engine will turn over in the morning 😂❤
No not miniatures. That is ice on the houses. Happens to houses on the water front. Wind, water and -20 weather give you that effect. If you notice trees and houses behind are not covered the same. Canada can be very very cold but we are used to it.
the town you are looking at is lakeside. the ice is from storm spray off the lake
Cleaning the car doesn't that long if you have the right strategy. Starting at the front drivers side, right from the front of the hood ,you use your brush to sweep the snow backwards and off to the side, working your way over the windscreen then the roof then the trunk, always brushing in one direction, for front to back. Then you do the same thing on the other side. Then you can quickly do the side windows and mirrors and Bob's your uncle. It should only take 5-6 mins. Maybe 8 if you have to scrape the windscreen.But a good brush is important.
i usually make do with a t-shirt , wind breaker and a nylon shell with a toque most of the winter. That usually holds me until it hits -15c i do have a parka for when it gets cold
For the first guy:
the umbrella is nonsense.
Other than that, this is how I was taught to dress for winter in Kindergarten in Ottawa:
Layer 1 - against the skin. You want cotton and tight enough not to rub and give blisters: T-shirt, long johns, socks under the longjohns.
Layer 2 - cotton shirt and trousers. This is what we'd normally wear to school in spring/autumn.
Layer 3 - sweater. You'd keep this on inside.
Layer 4 - thin gloves over your shirt, knee length woollen socks over the other socks and the longjohns. snowpants, and a scarf. You'd take this off inside.
Layer 5 - Mittens over the gloves. A jacket (or liner) over the scarf and mittens. A toque.
Layer 6 - A parka, ear-muffs, and boots with a good tread. You'd close the hood over your hat and earmuffs.
The sun glasses/snow googles weren't there to keep you warm. The UV light reflecting off snow and ice could give you snow blindness.
---------------------------------
As an adult living in Toronto, I usually only wear: underwear, shirt, trousers, jacket, mittens, hat, and sneakers for cold days.
---------------------------------
BTW, why hot water freezes faster than cold water.
That's due to tap water being a mix of chemicals and gases dissolved into the water. Bringing water to a boil drives out those gases. Cold distilled water freezes faster than hot distilled water. (1st year University chemistry.)
Actually, depending on where in Canada you live we do indeed use umbrellas when it snows. I am in BC and when I first moved here from Toronto I laughed when I saw people using umbrellas when it was snowing.
Well I'm not laughing now. The snow here is so wet that if you don't use one you will be soaked through in no time.
So different from what I was used to 😅
My regiment to survive our east coast Canadian winter... comfortable t-shirt with pj bottoms and stay inside.
11:30 this is the effect of an ice storm. That is freezing rain. Or rain that freezes instantly when it lands. You should check out the ice storm of 98. Crazy stuff.
Ps. Trees dont hold the ice, it slips off the branches.
wrong this is LAKE EFFECT WIND blowing mist crashing on the shore onto the homes coating them in ice.
Well i have often seen trees encased with several inches at it’s worse. Ask you years we had one a storm that really wiped out a lot of trees all over several counties. Eventually gets another just brings down the tree and brings down the branches. Usually she will have summer hours are the wrong tree until the sun starts to melted and then the ice slides off.
I was born in Quebec, and spent my first 35 years there before moving to BC. You're taught to dress for winter, like you're taught to cross the street. We don't go surfing at Christmas, we try out the skates we got for Christmas, unless it's too cold. My mom wouldn't let me go out when it got below -20, but when I got older I thought for myself and -20 wasn't that bad with a few libations.
12:59 this was caused by freezing spray effect
Winb lowing hard across the water, picked up moisture and droplets, and when tye water hits a cold structure with a nasty wind chill, it will freeze instantly.
My hubby is THAT guy in his shorts 😂 he golfs in December! I grew up in northern Ontario, hubby in fridgid Montreal, we live in Southern Ontario now and laugh at the whiners 😂
mist of the lake freezes on the buildings close to the great lakes
When I was a kid we would dig systems of tunnels in the mountains of snow created by the heavy equipment that cleared off parking lots. Every year a few unfortunate children would suffocate when a tunnel collapsed but we kept on tunneling in spite of that.
First guy dressing for winter left off his extra mittens and 2nd pair of socks
And yes, this is how I was taught to dress in Kindergarten in Ottawa for when it got dangerously cold.
We were required to keep footware for the school in our locker and take off the outermost layers.
Yep. Thermal socks, then a larger wool pair, then my boots. I usually am fine with a t-shirt and hoodie until -30, but working outside I learned you gotta keep your feet warm and don't sweat.
I was thinking he looked a bit bare...
@davidcheater4239 we were too in Nova Scotia.
@@OJBReacts cold head, cold hands, cold feet are the fastest way to freeze to death
That first guy is overkill and we dont do that normally lol. Most of the time we just have a warm hoody unless its -20 then we wear a hoody and a winter jacket. That snow is nothing compared to what we get on heavy dumps. A lot of people also do not own garages. It only takes about 3 minutes to clear the car off. You get useto the cold and if anything it makes you strong. We use something called a block heater which is like a hot plate under the engine that keeps the fluid and battery from freezing.
I remember listening to the radio early morning, there was a new radio host settled here from the warm west coast. He did the weather, forgot anyone was listening and said aloud”how can minus 29 be the daily high” then there was a shuddering sound and you could hear the “keeping back the tears” in his voice for the rest of the news, there are block heaters so the oil doesn’t freeze.
When it’s cold enough it doesn’t snow because there is no moisture left in the air. The buildings in white are being filmed from the direction the wind came from.
The trees get a proper shake in a wind like that. The trees are adapted for this. Here in Winnipeg the trees are the same type as Siberia has, and our city is a massive urban forest, but with global warming it’s all changing.
Snow usually comes at the leading edge of a low pressure system. Low pressure systems are warmer air and high pressure systems are colder air. When a low pressure system pushes out a high pressure system, the temperature, arriving with the snow, can increase quite a bit compared to before the snow.
Ok first dude isn't even close to a Canadian getting ready for winter.. hahahahaha 🤣😂🤣😂
My cousin and I use to build igloos in stewiake Nova Scotia Canada in the 80's
Generally speaking when it’s snowing there is cloud cover overhead keeping some atmospheric heat in. A clear sky winter day is when it gets truly cold.
Been following You for years it seems like now.
Love all of your reactions. This one was quite Accurate !! For Us Canadians.
Rain then immediately temperatures dropping and it freezes the trees and houses
you can tunnel through snow pretty easily if you know what you're doing!
That frozen town next to one of the lakes. It looks like the wind picked up massive waves overnight. Most of those people wont have to go to work today. The homes further back look clear.
About the garage thing - I don't think those houses had garages.
I lived for seven years nearly 1900 km north of Edmonton, and there were days when Edmonton was colder than where I was.
Not everyone has a garage and we all put on winter tires to drive in the snow
not everyone has a garage
yeah peasants have to park on the street.
Always with the cold. What about our great summers. In Edmonton it's +25 and 18 hours of daylight.
Watching the Oilers with a sun burn. 😂
That is a John Deere tractor. They are the best. I live in Alberta. Block heaters in every vehicle are an absolute must in the winter. Plug them in when you stop and you can be sure your engine will start when you leave. Except with 40 or 50 below. Then we have a bit of trouble.
if its snowing its usually about 0 to -20 (unless around great lakes.. lake effects can be wild) then after the -20 the snow stops the skies get clear and it gets really cold no clouds to insulate us anymore... then it gets chilly lol
Never mind the mist covered houses. Check out the ice walls created when waves from the great lakes push the ice blocks op on shore.. also cleaning the car starts with electric start from inside. Go out 5 min later quick 2 min brush. Hit the defrost and go. Who cares if ya can't see. Just go
hehehe, well umbrella.... perhaps. Went out shooting my bow after church one Sunday, was nice and warm and sunny, March I believe. Jogged out a few kilometres outta town, over a couple fields looking for rabbits or gophers to shoot, and then dang, wind came on hard, clouds, sleet, snow, tried to jump over a little melting snowdrift remnant and wind blew me over in midair, landed on side..... by the time I walked back home, took about and hour and a bit, was a walking icicle. outside layer and jeans were frozen solid, escept for knees of course, hat was encased in ice, but did cover ears and all so was good enough, but yeah. spring can be goofy. Usually is. And with the chinook winds in the winter, sleet sometimes mid winter rain followed by freezing. Some parts like Vancouver seldom seem to freeze over from the constant drizzles around the coast, and there is a rain forest over on that coastline.
From Alberta, Canada. Winter is my favourite season. You will never hear me complain not even in -40. I don’t even drive. I walk and take public transportation. But in +30 and above I complain and am very uncomfortable. But I’m allowed to complain, as I never do in winter! People will say oh I’m so cold and all I say is “can’t relate” I keep my apartment at 14°C at all times if I can, obviously that’s difficult/expensive in the summer. ❤
No, we really don't dress like that in Canada. Yes, in winter, we do wear heavy coats in most places in Canada but things start to warm up in May and then we switch to lighter jackets until June when it is usually warm enough to just wear tee shirts and maybe even shorts. It can be hot as hell in July and August. It starts to cool again around the end of September and then you have to add light jackets until the end of November when you switch to heavier coats. Canada uses the Celsius scale. Yes, we can get that white after a heavy snow fall in winter. The snow does fall on the trees, but usually gets blown off or melts when the sun comes out, so you see snow on the houses but not on the trees. I have seen the snow fall so heavy that it has completely covered the doors of some homes and businesses and you have ro shovel/tunnel your way out. That's rare. I'm 74 and I've only ever seen that happen twice in my 74 years living on Canada's east coast. It was 32 C (84 F) last week but down to mid 20s C (70s F) for the week coming up.
Yes, typically days that snow tend to be milder than days that don't but I personally hate those days because milder usually means cloudy and extremely moist for those of us in a humid climate (ie mild temps. but higher wind chill) instead of brisk but sunny so to me it actually feels warmer on days too cold to snow.. So many videos about how cold Canada is (and assuming it's the same temperature throughout) usually perpetuated by Canadians themselves. I get it though.. it's impossible to make a video showing how disgustingly hot it is in summer - I'm watching these wishing it were winter - so others have only these videos to go by.
Lots of us do use the garage. A lot of people use the whole garage for storage though.
Alot of rental places we have street parking and if you do have reserved parking its outside. Also -40 is where F and C meet.
if you want to see crazy look at the great Canadian ice storm of 1998, we had freezing rain for around 5 days, it actually almost took out Montreal.
12:50 the storm the night before blew lake water and into the buildings flash freezing in the -75C windchill.
It’s not a miniature. Homes on a lake front. Winds blow the water from the lakes and it blankets the home.
You don't want to sweat it's true. Another reason for layers. You can take things off as needed and then add again when needed
Shout out Edmonton! Home sweet home, as soon as it’s over 15 degrees, it’s time to put the A/C in the window!
If it's mild enough to rain, you don't need as much cold weather gear on. If it's cold enough outside that you do need to put on all of them layers, you will never need an umbrella. The freezing cold would probably shred it anyway !!!
When you drive in winter condition six months of the year, it's no big thing. One of the hardest things to learn is when not to break.
COLD COLD happens when there is not cloads over head, the cloads create a therm blanket tat keeps the heat in, so when its snowing it is way warmer that when the sun comes out
Some places you don't turn off your diesel engine, just let them run all night.
Layers guy probably works outdoors. Though honestly most folks I know have given up on umbrellas by now due to the fact that… well. It rains sideways. Even during the summer rains it ends up feeling a little pointless maneuvering an umbrella when the rain is sideways…
There are very few people that have experienced-50C.
I have been in -64C with windchill but the vast majority of Canada has never visited that far north.
The coldest it has been in Edmonton is -48C.
Toronto- The absolute lowest on record dipped down to a frigid -31.3C (-24.34F) in January 1859. More recently, in January 2018, we saw temperatures nearing this record with a chilling -22.6C (-8.68F).
The coldest temperature across Metro Vancouver is −23.3 °C (−10 °F) recorded in Pitt Meadows on January 23, 1969.
I have a screenshot on my phone from this winter -51°C when we had that wind blowing from Siberia and that really wicked cold snap for like a week. Other than that, we had quite a warm winter so….
From Edmonton
We actually have block heaters to keep the oil pan warm
1- we don't need 6 layers of clothes... it's a parody. 2- Water don't freeze faster when hoter... that make no sense at all. 3- We use snow tire to drive in the winter. 4- Everyone with a garage put his car inside but less then 10% of people have garages. 5- 95% of Canadian live in winter zone with an average of -20 celsius. -35 is rare and winter is around 3months long 6- We use clothes that absorb sweat so we do not froze when working outside. 7- Farming begin at spring and finish before next winter. 8- Vehicule can use different type of oil to help working in frozen temperature. 9- Even if it's snow, the temperature can be "warm"... you can have snow at 2-3 celsius no problem. 10- Most of the time, we only need to manage some snow and it take maybe a minute or two to clean your car and it's only when it snow.. around 7-10 times a month. 11- Snowy day are warmer then a sunny day cause the snow and cloud act as a "cover" to keep warmer temperature around. A full sunny day without any cloud will always be colder. 12- Every thing can be frozen if you live in front of a big open water source after a really windy day. 13- In 2008, in Quebec City, we received more the 4.5m of snow in the entire winter. 14- Snow can be light or as hard as ice so yeah, we can dig in it pretty much without any problem but yes, it can collapse if you dig to large without support.
at 4:58, they are the same at -40 I know because I'm canadian and regularly see that in winter.
snow is an amazing insulator since most of the area of a snowflake is trapped air and air does not want to give up its heat
Funny..😊 I live in southern BC 🇨🇦.. It's never 40 below here but you need layers or extra clothing year round.. 4 seasons..
I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada and yes it gets pretty cold here in the winter, but most of us don’t wear layers and layers of clothing unless you live in the Yukon or NWT! And the sweat freezing myth is exactly that, a myth! 🥶
Edmonton can be very cold and is the only mayor Canadian City that is not within 200 miles of the USA border. However The Sothern Border of Ontario is a little South of the Northern Border of California. I offer these facts in case satire and sarcasm that crossed the Atlantic from England to Canada didn't make it to Australia.
I don't know if this is a general Canada thing. But, in Alberta, a very common "cryptid" one can find in the city is that one dude in a full blown winter jacket and boots but shorts and nothing else on the legs. In -20 weather or worse. Like they dont look as if they couldnt afford it, it just seems like a willing choice.
It often gets -40ish C. And if you work or live up around yukon and NWT you need -75C clothing. You need a wicking layer like wool covered in a cotton layer to absorb moisture, wool is amazing, and keep wool blankets on hand as well, great windbreakers and heck, you ever go out in the rain just in a wool blanket robe like a monk, don't matter if yer wet, still warm. just get dry when you can. And honestly winter camping with a lean-to and a few people is really quite nice. with a 6' reflector fire, and properly made and insulated floor with snow and pine ..... -35-40 no probs. Went back from a main central camp to our with 5 folks, used pine torch for light, got back to our lean to in about 30min hike or so fire was totally dead of course, so we just tossed our nice resinous squaw wood torch in, tossed bark chunks on, had a 5 log high reflector back to roll in when needed, with snow outside for windblock and to keep logs from burning through, honestly, that was one of the absolute best sleeps ever in my life. Had a borrowed -50 mummybag, slept like a log. Then we all checked traps in morning (was a winter survival trip 10 days ) Was a great time. We didn't have any food, but was fun. Wish they woulda let us make a deadfall for all the deer around, but we weren't allowed, but they would let us fish and set beaver traps at the lake, about an hour away.
My hubby and me are runners. We don't put long pants on to run in the winter unless it's below 2 degrees Celsius....love Canada, love our winters....
The reason why we don't put our cars in a garage in the winter is because of salt. Most cities spray salt on the roads to melt the ice and that salt gets in the snow and under your car. If you then put the car in a warm environment, the salty snow will melt and cause the car to rust.
the prairies use heated gravel because we get too many really cold days where the salt reaction dose not work, but for the east provinces salt seems to be the reason
Never considered the melting part of that equation, but that makes a lot of sense, thanks!
@@OJBReacts no worries
Ok ...I know how much you guys love to crap on Canadian winters but let me tell you we love our change of seasons. Each one is magical in its own way, winter being no exception. I feel sorry for countries that don't have that privilege, you are missing out on some of life's greatest pleasures.
snow is an insuator, if the sky is cloudy and snowy, it is holding the warm air layers in lower to ground, and usually too the wind is still, usually a great time to go out, ski or sled, or just have a campfire and a BBQ, (and bbq season never ends, usually out there in shorts anyway during ) A gentle foggy snow is actually very nice and mild. usually warmer than -20C, often like -10. Oh, and if it is snowy and cold enough with a huge enough snowdrift, dig a snow cave, is soooooooo cozy inside. Me and some friends dug out a three room snowcave main room was about 10'x10'x5' two other little caves connected by short side tunnel, man, you don't need a coat on in there, just a sweater, and so quiet. Could be a blizzard out there, you would never know. of course entrance was just tunnel in about 8 feet or so, then opened up. snow is an amazing insulator. mostly air, so packed snow like for igloos is unique. hard enough to hold shape, is kinda crunchy, but soft enough to saw into blocks.... but once sealed and shaped, same as the snow cave. Heat with an oil wick stove.
In Celsius and Fahrenheit -40 is exactly the same
It's no problem in -40f if you're dressed right.Diesel engines don't like the cold..lolAt 11:00 happened because of an "ice storm" and it's real.The temperature fluctuates between just under freezing to just over freezing as it's raining.The rain builds up as ice.
I am going to guess that row of houses was off one of the Great Lakes, like Lake Ontario or Lake Erie. Frozen spray.
As a Canadian Army Veteran..this is hilarious 😆. These skits are just taking the piss dude. We didn’t even really have a winter last year. You haven’t heard of a drone dude⁉️. “How are they filming this on a railway”⁉️😳🤣🤣🤣. Wind Shear ! Blasts come off the Great Lakes and yes the houses look like this on any of our coasts 🤦🏼♀️‼️
What Vancouver is for, right here!
I remember working outdoors year round in Northern Alberta, and having icicles in my moustache & beard.
Cars and trucks are equipped with an electric block heater, to make starting possible.
Don't ask me why nobody seems eager to invade us.
Not everyone has a garage and many people have more than one car...and many people use their garages for storage and extra freezers etc (especially if they live in the country or fish or hunt and have to store extra food. So there is not always a space for cars....the ice storm in Lake Erie is real...you can google it and see more photos. The way it is filmed makes it look like a miniature but it is not it was in 2022 and the wind coming off the lake caused huge waves and water to freeze to the houses.
"Snow makes it feel 10° warmer" probably has to do with the fact that it can only snow between a relatively small temperature range. I think once the temperature is below -4°C, snow can't form because it's so cold that water vapor in the air disappears. Also, -40°C temperatures are pretty rare, even in the far north. -25°C is sort of the normal low, which, to be fair, is bitterly, and dangerously cold.
Coldest temperature I ever personally experienced was -58°C, but that was during a weather system known as a Polar Vortex. Warmest temperature I experience here in Canada was 48°C during a weather event known as a Heat Dome.
Also, those white houses are real. I grew up living about 200-300M away from Lake Huron (one of the Great Lakes) and that happens because it's really hard to freeze over the Great Lakes due to the volume of water in them (about 20% of all the freshwater on planet Earth) so when there are winter storms, they sometimes kick up a lot of water off the lakes that can freeze really fast. There is a town in the U.S. state of Michigan that is notorious for such events with a specific lighthouse frequently being iced over.
It’s too bad you didn’t find a clip of clear ice over houses and cars. We had a layer more than 3 or 4 cm thick once. It broke lots of branches and the whole place was a skating rink.
Snow reflect light at a massive level without sun glasses you go what we call "snow blind" from the amount of light
I dress for winter... by "tee shirt" or polo and jacket. But it's a dry cold here.
Not all people have garages, and also most families will end up with more cars than garage space.
Temp intersects at -40 and F moves faster so the "further" you get from -40 the more F differs.
The tractor - you may use it to clear snow... or move say hay bales to feed livestock.
The frozen houses houses could be real. Blown snow, "ice storms" (aka rain freezing on the way down) and even high humidity and a temp drop can "start" that effect and once started it can build up. Trees might be clear due to "movement" any time a tree moves some of the ice on it cracks and may fall off. Not saying it IS real just that it could be.
Final clip... blowing snow piles up on anything it hits including your front door. Also not completely safe to dig a tunnel in it but if you are aware you can. Like mining there can be a cave in but well built mines don't... well built snow tunnels don't either. And between wind and weight the lower snow can get pretty packed down and stable.
I'm sure you can live up to your name and only wear a singlet most of the time!
Heated driveways are useless. Clearing snow off your car or sidewalks are wonderful. Everything is quiet and it is a Zen moment.
The colder it is, the more you have to feed your cattle. Tractors are called upon in the ultimate nasty weather.
The real challenge is coming back in from the cold and stripping everything off before you melt
Also, can confirm, it's like 10 degrees warmer when there's snow
We might have winter but at least we don’t have so many spiders that their webbing makes it look like it snowed outside.
Snow does indeed mean it's warm.
imagine getting into your car and turning the key..and all u hear is URRR.
The winter layering used to be true when I was young. Now long underwear are silk, add a shirt and make sure your batteries are charged up for your heated coat. Batteries only last 8 hours so only good for around town trips.
At the price of housing only the rich have garages but you plug your car in over night. Brush off driver side first, start car up to help defrost windows by the time you get all the snow removed.
Since we live in a "no consequences for stupidity" society now. most just drive away and let the snow blow off as they drive.
These people don’t have garages, or they would be parked there in the winter months. No one wants to scrape snow off their car in the morning. We don’t have a garage but we have automatic car starters and turn on the vehicle for 10 mins to melt the snow, before you get in.
I live in one of the colder parts of Canada and he was overdoing it.
Yes that is true because snow acts like an insulator
I’m Nova Scotian. I HATE the weather here, always have.
+25 yesterday in Edmonton. 🌞
