Yesterday my partner and kids visited the Antarctic Centre in Christchurch, and they were all delighted by the penguins and huskies. They were less impressed by the "cold room" (which was -8C and had fans that also blow wind at 40km/hr, they have parkas you can borrow...)

Saskatchewan has completely changed our standards for cold weather! My 9yo: "It didn't even freeze my boogers! That's not cold!" My partner: "It was nice dog walking weather."

@sundogplanets
-8C°??? That's just normal winter weather! And Sweden doesn't have half as harsh winters as Saskatchewan. This reminds me of the time GB prepped one of their princes for Antarctica by putting him in a giant freezer - despite having a direct flight line to Swedish Lapland.
@MarthaCrimson @sundogplanets I suspect the joke was on the Prince
