Canadians always seem so nice, but don't let that fool you. (Sorry, @Court.) When they get tired of their frigid Arctic air masses, they just dump them over the border.
When we lived in Denver, we were on the receiving end of these cryoattacks several times a winter -- though none as severe as the one about to hit. I considered them acts of war. ;^}

Forecast now has temperatures up to 36 on Monday and Tuesday. I'll probably be wearing shorts outside.

Today would be one of those good days to consult the weather forecast. Around lunchtime, you'd have had a hard time seeing this coming. Now that the wind is blowing 30 MPH, we're getting hints.

There’s only one solution to stop this illegal immigration of Canadian air…you must build a wall!
It was a cold ride this afternoon which played havoc with the electronics on my Garmin and camera. -31 C discounting the wind chill so I was only out for an hour. Returned home and shoveled the snow that fell last night.
We did set a new temperature record last night as the mercury plunged to -38C topping the 32 yr old record of-36.8C.

Wait a minute, that's their evil scheme: Dump the cold air, get us to build the wall, no more American refugees!There’s only one solution to stop this illegal immigration of Canadian air…you must build a wall!

Only Snidely Whiplash could devise such a dastardly plot -- and this time, Do-Right and Nelle are in on it.

Don't fret Jeremy, we would personally grant you special entry and even put you up in digs to make you feel right at home. Just make sure that you bring your own heating oil.

@Jeremy McCreary - We’re really a friendly bunch up here and take kindly to anyone who visits…you do know that, don’t you? Before Covid Alberta saw a bump in American tourists so I expect that hasn’t changed post pandemic. On our rides along the Icefields Parkway this past summer, we noticed many US vehicles parked at rest stops and key POIs such as Peyto Lake.

Of course, I'm just kidding. It's easy to poke fun at the US. Canada's much harder. (That's a compliment.)
We always felt welcome on our trips to Canada -- mostly BC and the Rockies. Stunning country, especially the Icefields Parkway.

Everything is canceled or shutting down. Travelers will be stranded for days. When one major hub has 3-hour delays that backlogs the entire flow. The weather outside is frightful.

I haven't ridden in quite a while as I'm still recovering from Pneumonia. Bypassed cold, flu, RSV, Covid and went straight to Pneumonia. Weird.
Cold air, even for a few seconds, drives me into an intense coughing fit. It's currently -26C so nope...
When I do get out (perhaps on Christmas day with forecast currently at +4) , it will be we with a mask of some sort - perhaps my Balaclava.
Happy holidays to all - it's 4F time.
