You step on the brake pedal as your approaching a stop sign and your car keeps going because the brakes are frozen.

you plugging in zirc?
when your nipples are so cold even a hot tub wont warm 'em up
:nod: Most definitely. If I hadn't I don't think poor Mo would have started this morning. He hates the cold more than I do...and that's hard to do. :ninja
I cannot imagine those temps.
do you own anything that does NOT have a name?
Feel free to come visit in winter some time. Then you won't have to imagine.
If you really want to live on the edge come this weekend. It's supposed to approach -40C. 
Ummmm...:unsure:
dry cold though
-40 in Ottawa gets right into yer bones, it is damp/humid cold, -40 in sask is easier to bear

Once you get past -20C cold is cold. Dry, damp...I hate it all. The worst thing is windchill. :surrender
true enough we dont get as cold as you and when we do it is not for as long, mainly because Ontario is a favoured province
Do lots of pipes burst up there? On the news they always say to leave your faucet running so your pipes won't explode but it never gets anywhere near that cold.
we shut off external pipes, i have two , one in my garage and one on my back deck, each has a valve inside the house, in the basement, i close that then drain the water between theat valve and the external faucet
For external water lines, what porterjack said. As for pipes in buildings and such, no we do not have that problem. Bone chilling cold is expected here and as such things are designed to withstand it. Everything is well insulated. :nod:
That's just crazy. :willy_nilly:
you know its cold when you pee and your stream freezes upon ejection
So I went and bought a new extension cord for plugging in my car because I wanted one that has the light on when it's connected. This led me to discover that, contrary to popular belief, I haven't been plugging in my car all winter because the outlet I was using isn't working. :willy_nilly: I love my car even more now because it hasn't failed to start on me once even without being plugged in. Complained, yes, failed, no. 
Wait...you plug in your car?
Every night after hugging all the trees in her yard.
Yes we do up here... and probably other places where it gets so cold your engine won't turn over..
Zirc.. I forgot to plug in this morning I went out and well.. she whined and cried by finally turned over.. I got out and hugged the car.. LOL I would have kissed her but I didn't want my lips frozen to her.. :24::24::24:
