I live downtown, don't really need a car, so I walk about 30/35 minutes to school or work everyday. So far, I've been able to play it off tough and go without a hat or toque, but wowzers: it's now officially cold.
We've also got about 15 cm's of snow on the ground.
Has winter arrived where you are yet?

The hammer is going up to zero today. So far this winter, we may have had maybe 2 cm which have already melted

Its +5 right now in Calgary and is supposed to hit a high of +8 later today. When I moved here last year the last thing I thought I'd be doing is riding my bike to work in late December.
Chinooks rule!

Chinooks do indeed rule. That's the great thing about Calgary... -30 one day +10 the next. And if you're jonsin for some snow during the Chinooks all ya gotta do is drive up to the mountains.
Speaking of which, I recall a "winter" thread around here somewhere and in it I epressed my love of the season. This past weekend is a classic example of why. 35cms of new snow overnight up at Sunshine and I was one of the first ones into the lot on Saturday morning. Storm blew off and we were left with over a foot of fresh snow and clear blue skies. Doesn't get much better than that. I still have a shit eating grin from the weekend. Winter RULES!!

I live in downtown Ottawa as well and walk across the bridge to hull everyday for work... I've been in toque and nylon windpants mode since the Grey Cup basically. There's no shame in this.
2pm and -11... it's only going to get worse... what a country!.. what a city!

Haha....welcome to Vancouver, the mild, wet west coast. Its currently +10, and is in no hurry if dipping much lower. The closest Ive come to a REAL canadian winter in the last few years is heading up to the local mountain for some boarding. Madness.
