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 I was there a few weeks ago and it's such a great place! The -8° was fine but the wind chill in that room makes it feel like -20°.

At -8° everyone was having fun and taking photos. The kids were barking about.

At -20°, everyone but us left the room!

It was fascinating how the wind changed everything. And how hiding inside a snow structure made it feel instantly warmer.
