Harp: We’re gonna break it down into escaping the winter.
Maura: And then we’re gonna talk about hibernation, which means staying inside during the winter.
Harp: And then we’re going to talk about enjoying the winter.
Maura: Yes, which is also important. So first we should clarify what a Canadian winter is like.
Harp: Yes, because surviving winter in Canada is tough business.
Maura: Right. Many countries have winter, but the temperature doesn’t get quite as cold as it does here. Now depending where you are in Canada, the temperature is a bit different, but in winter, the temperature is almost always below zero.
Harp: Yes, and usually quite a bit below. Minus 10, minus 15, but many times it goes to minus 20 or minus 25.
Maura: Oh, minus 20. It makes me feel cold just talking about it. But you’re right. It’s always below zero and often much below zero.
Harp: Yes, I remember one time in Edmonton, for a full week, it was about minus 40.
