erm id have to disagree.

that -56 windchill a couple weeks ago wasnt what i would consider mild

Oops, I should have clarified. I meant here around Medicine Hat. We seem to have our own wierd climate around here.

Yup, pretty excited. We'll be in the Mayan Riviera. The Grand Paladium Kantenah is the name of the resort.

As for going from a colder climate to tropical? No problem. I plan on wearing shorts and sandles when we go to the airport in Calgary to fly out of Canada. Did the same thing when we went to Maui....hehe. It was about -10C with snow on the ground then too.

AHHH! I was at the Maya Riviera last year! Gorgeous place!

Go into one of those walk in freezers and stay there for about 15 minutes. Hold onto something frozen until you can't feel your fingertips. That will give you a slight idea of what it can be like around here.

Oh, and if you want a snowball fight then get your butt over here and we'll have a snowball fight!

We can go skiing too!

I want the tongue to pole kind of frost bite ahahaha just joking Melody

I did experience sliding down an indoor ski slope thing in Singapore and at first I did not wear/rent gloves... but my hands started to get numb so I eventually did

somehow Steven it's not hard to picture you stuck to a pole by your tongue

Great shots Omar! Pool??.....That's more like a lake than a pool.

I'll make sure to post up some photos from my trip.

Sorry Steven, I'm in agreement on this one. ....I can see you being the one to tempt fait if you ever visit a cold climate.

Freezing your tongue to a metal pole isn't frostbite. Frostbite is when you get so cold that your skin actually freezes. Fingers, toes, nose, cheeks, and ears are what usually get frozen first. Less blood flow to them. I got frostbite on a finger in highschool when we went tobogganing when it was -30 without the windchill.

Fake skiing isn't anywhere near to the real thing. Think thirty below, 40km/hr winds, snowing, standing on top of a mountain.
