My very first job was in Minnesota and the snow is not what you have to be afraid of.

It's the damn frigid temperatures. My wife and I quit our jobs, broke our lease, packed up and moved to California after one delightful -27F day.

The key is not leave the house when its really cold. Also layers. You can always put on more layers

It's a lot easier to warm up than it is to cool down.

The lies that people tell themselves. Frostbite says bullshit to that. When it gets that cold staying warm is not easy. Especially when the wind starts to blow.

Cooling down in high heat: A cold drink, sun umbrella, and a ice pack under your hat.

packed up and moved to California after one delightful -27F day.

So it's May, 2017. We're just finishing our third winter in Ottawa, aka Canada's wind-tunnel, and a string of -40 days made this one super harsh. 5ft snow pack around the driveway showed signs of melting on the weekend and the dog poop left by negligent fuckwits is almost visible and ... ah shit, it's two weeks of hard snow. We can barely see through the tears as we realize when we talk about 'fool's summer', hope has made us the fool.

My first day at my new Vancouver-area job was 3 months later.
