Maybe, but I do think all Manitobans are hardy little winter people!

Mind you, I was running around in nothing but a tank top and an open letterman jacket on Wednesday. Don't do that. 😰 I should have brought my parka and another sweater but I didn't.

I think sometimes it Feels way colder in Winnipeg and other southern communities because you guys have NO TREES. That's the Prairie nightmare: the wind blows so fast with nothing to break it, and tall buildings can actively funnel the wind sometimes. Cuts right through ya. So we're always asking each other "yeah it's -20 but what about the windchill?"

when it gets up to -45 to -50, spending even a few seconds outside running from your house to the car Stings on bare skin and leggings/other thin garments. At that cold, we don't let kids go outside for recess up north, but there's no such thing as too cold to go to school.

Ironically, bright sunny days are usually colder than cloudy, snowing days. Idk if that's just an up north thing, but it's fascinating to me.

For the love of God, be careful!! Drive slow!! We had a week or two in November where it was just cold enough a thin, transparent layer of ice froze over the concrete. You couldn't see it at all unless the light hit it just right. Truly the most menacing kind of ice.

Walking like a penguin can help you stay upright when walking on ice! If you don't bend your knees too much and take short steps, you keep your center of balance over your feet and reduce your risk of slipping. 🐧

How about some pics? 🐻‍❄️

good morning everyone for those of you who arent manitoban, a quick guide to what it’s like to be outside in -30 or colder

your hair will freeze, and it will have a really cool looking layer of frost on it making it look White in some spots which will make elementary school people be like !!! YOU’RE LIKE ANNA!!!

breathing in cold air tastes like really cold water and is super refreshing but its really hard to catch your breath if you have to

remember the hair thing? yeah your eyelashes and the teeny little hairs in your nose will do that too. and you will Feel It.

if you’re outside in just jeans or leggings (no ski pants) your legs will be cold for a second, then they prickle and then you’re nice and warm

this is mostly a problem because i wear glasses but i am basically blind upon going back inside because of how much your glasses will fog up

”thats SO COLD HOW DO YOU NOT JUST DIE” hi so *grandpa voice * i used to walk 20 minutes to school in -40 the secret is Layers and Lots Of Socks hope this helps

feel free to add more!!!

(@northern-manitoba i am 99% sure you have better cold tolerance than i do if you specifically have fun little facts to add)

These are pretty much two of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE PICTURES. DISCLAIMER: PLEASE, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME,WORK OR SCHOOL. I took these a couple of weeks after my 19th birthday (that is just about the age of majority in BC and scientifically speaking, I was still a kid and it was an act of youthful exuberant. Lolz!). If you want to be adventurous with snow, you can try the pictures in the post before this one. Anyways, make the best of the life you've been given🌹 CHRISLOVE™ 🦅 MRCHRISLOVE.COM Photo ©️ @canadian_ebony 👸 #lifeinwinnipeg #manisnowba (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B76Wh67lLqz/?igshid=1izebimcwceym

update on laptop

well, we tried everything, got my new keyboard installed but that didn’t seem to help and now the backspace doesn’t work, so here’s what I’m going to do.  I’ll be using an external keyboard until I can afford to get a new laptop, it’s a little annoying but what can you do.  I really want to thank @manisnowba for doing her best to help me with this and going above and beyond trying to figure this out.  

I’m not going to get to replies tonight, but I’ll do my best to get to them tomorrow.  I know I owe replies to 

@secondplayercanada

@temptationattwilight

if I owe replies to anyone else let me know.  I’m sorry I’ve been gone for so long, and I’ll do my best to make up for it.  that being said, I do still have papers to write so I won’t be on as constantly as I normally am (turns out I’m much more productive when I’m not on Tumblr, who’da thunk?) so I’ll be trying to find a balance to it.  thanks again for your patience and for @manisnowba mun’s help

Where I've been and what's going on

I'm sure people have noticed that I haven't been on for over a month, and for that, I'm sorry. There's been two main factors as to why I've been absent, and I'll do my best to explain them. First off, for those that don't know, I'm currently in my master's program to become a counsellor, and this is taking up a ton of time, especially considering how close my classes are this semester. My college does their master's programs on a modular format; meaning that I have pre course papers that are due the day class starts, a week of class that starts at 8:30 and goes till 4:30, typically with assignments/presentations that are due in class, and then post course papers that you have two months to write. I have five classes that are very close together, not great but I don't have a choice, so mentally I'm feeling a bit swamped. The second reason is that my H and G keys no longer work on my laptop. @manisnowba has graciously offered to help me replace the keyboard (meaning I'm paying her installation fee in sweets, she's very sweet) so I have to do a lot of my replies on my phone, and frankly, I don't feel like doing that. So that's what's been up, I hope you can forgive me for taking so long. I'll do my best to start replying again once my laptop's fixed, until then... I guess I'm not dead? Just slowly going crazy from school work. Thank you all for your patience.
