Skate Canada Challenge in Winnipeg? Again?
People associate Winnipeg with Slurpees, Honey Dill sauce, and the unofficial slogan, “Welcome to Winnipeg, Where People Drive Halfway Across the City for Cheaper Gas.”
Recently added is the year the city was colder than Siberia in 2013. Last year during Challenge, the temperature was only -35°c (guess where I live) with a windchill of -48°c.
However, Winnipeg’s experiencing a rare warm trend, above zero, plus temperatures. At the end of November. Minus Sunday, November 26th.
