babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
Also, on windchill, I know they used to to it as watts per square cm or something (over 2000 was damned cold). But when I was a kid they always broadcast it as "exposed skin will freeze in 1 minute, or less than 30 seconds".
Had to use my skidoo to get groceries today, too much snow for my 2wd truck. We are supposed to get a blizzard beginning tomorrow night and all day Saturday, with clear weather Sunday - Tuesday. We haven't hit -30C yet, coldest we've had this winter was yesterday or the day before, with -22C, with -29C windchill.
Any news from the Atlantic provinces on the blizzard? We had very strong wind last night, not nearly as much snow as was in the forecast (maybe it all blew north?). Still extremely windy here today - gusts of 100 km/h - but the sun is out at least.
