Below is the Highest I have seen the frost ring in the sky for years. These SunDogs were shot January 4, 2014 at 2:17 pm. at the time it was -27ºC with a 25 kph wind it is a sharp bitting COLD. This is looking south on 15 th. Ave. west of Pasqua Street in Regina.
When I was taking the two Sundog ( frost circles) this last weekend an other photographer was close to me and said, "you know when the temperature or wind-chill gets greater than -40ºC, the conversion to Fahrenheit gets to be a larger number."
So when I got Home on Sunday Jan 04, 2014 I had the computer convert the wind-chill of -53ºC to be -64ºF now that's Cold. The change to Celsius temperatures was in 1975, previous to that all winters were cold.
The last time I can remember the weather being this cold was the winter in January of 2004, It was -28ºC day high to -37ºC night low, for six-weeks. I think that year's SaskPower bill's for the year, July 03 to June 04 paid out at 13 months of power due to plugging in our cars.
In the picture above, at the top of the page and below; It is really neat what you can see from the back seat of a truck going to Carlyle on Thursday January 2, 2014.
