Oh, even worse than that: my parents spent a few years after they retired teaching on a northern Manitoba reserve (at the same time that I was living in Winnipeg). So I went up there twice.
-45C was the coldest I ever experienced. It was INSANE. We boiled water, threw cups of it into the air, and it came down as a foggy/snowy puffy cloud. It even made a 🞵🞵🞵🞵 sound (apologies, if you're British).
Actually in the city, I think the low -30sC was the coldest I ever experienced. But it felt like the whole winter was -10C to -25C, which was torture. I even got a ticket for making an illegal left turn and I honestly couldn't even see the sign prohibiting it because of the exhaust fog.
I contested it in court - and lost - and the judge (I assume it's a judge) was just a b****. Oh my God, I've never seen someone in a professional setting take such obvious delight in being an a**hole.
She interrupted my story a half dozen times, laughed at me, rolled her eyes when her little assistant confirmed I had a clean driving record. At the end, she was red-faced and almost shouting when she gave a speech about how I was clearly in the wrong.
And then she said I had to pay the $X,
But what she said was $100 less than the original ticket.
It made me SO happy. I phoned my parents once I was outside the court, posted it to FB, the whole works, ha!
