Don't even remind me about July and August. I seriously wish I could skip those two months. 

Penguins scoff at -40. 

That year when we went below - 40, we had had one of the hottest summer in the history of the city. 

There was like a +80 C degrees difference between the hottest and the coldest day. People just weren't engineered to live through such opposite extremes. lol

True, but the amazing thing is that we engineered ourselves to do it. 

You sure those are penguins and not midget nuns?

Careful, or you'll have my mother on here telling the story of when my 3 year old self announced to an entire doctor's waiting room that the nun sat opposite me looked just like a penguin. True dat. God I was adorable...until I burned the house down a few weeks later through playing with matches. The adorability officially came to a crashing halt on that day and never came back. 

I can see how that might put a damper on things.

Fascinating how these things work isn't it. We had to live in a tent in the back garden for a few days until alternative accommodation was procured. It was not long after that I got expelled from nursery school for launching a tirade of 4 letter words (probably learned from my brother) at the headmistress after she suggested I come down from the climbing frame to listen to some story I had no intention of hearing. 

I've actually seen worst, like below -40. 

Degrees C or degrees F?

[trick question]

At that point it doesn't matter. I just call it 40 degrees below reasonable.
