Okay, I know all you Murkin' think that, like, all of Canada is some kind of permanent freezer. However, Vancouver doesn't usually get this cold. Our days are mostly around 33 to 40 degrees and maybe it freezes at night.

So, needless to say the entire City is frozen and scared.

2. 33 here.
That's uhm... 1? Which is bitterly cold by local standards, it got down below freezing overnight a week or so in a row when I was a kid and people still talk about it. Nobody here knows how to wrap a pipe or anything, so it may be kind of interesting tomorrow.

15. Oh hell no. I just moved. Not doing that again any time soon.
You'll just have to live with the igloo along with me.

7. My front and back lawns are white with frost...
...I grew up in Massachusetts, so I have experienced sub-zero temperatures, but I also moved to California when I was 16 and that changes everything. The last few mornings here have been around 40 degrees and it feels like I'm back in New England again.

27. it's about 8F here too
so about -13.3C.

ffr:
tC = tF-32/1.8

tF = (1.8)(tC) + 32

14. that doesn't seem that cold to me
if it were minus 10 in real temperature, that would be something to talk about.

22. Vancouver is scared that it got down to 17 degrees? Come again?
There is something missing from this. Chicago has had early cold snaps. A day last week had a high of about 10-15 degrees. We're having a high of 5 tomorrow. Pull up your big girl panties and deal with it. You're in Canada, not Bermuda.

24. That's the Pacific Northwest for you though
We put up with 9 months of unending gloom to avoid either extremes of hot and cold. Lots of snow is a betrayal of that contract.

23. I am near Austin and it is about 75 and humid.
I am wearing cargo shorts, a t-shirt and drinking a cold beer.

Tomorrow we cool off, a cold front is coming.
