From your first steps inside the new air terminal building at James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, you'll likely be struck by two seemingly contradictory sentiments -- "this can't be Winnipeg" and "this is SO Winnipeg." (www.winnipegfreepress.com) 기타...

Coolest....yes and by January it will be right up there with Saskatoon and Edmonton as the Bloody Coldest. Hard to correlate all the hype about saving energy with the building of a mostly glass building when the average temperature for much of the year has a minus in front of the number and the only things breaking the wind from the North Pole are The Pas and Fort Churchill. You don't even want to know the wind chill temperature.

Maybe they believed all the Global Warming fraud and expect a tropical future but now "Winnipeg is the coldest city in the world with a population of over 600,000 based on the average night-time temperature during December, January and February, inclusive"! (Environment Canada)

Well I'm glad you mentioned that, John. lol. That brings me to the 2nd article of the series.

~Terminal case of energy efficiency - Building designed for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification~

"It may turn out to be the most energy-efficient building of its size in the world, according to the engineers on the project."

Thanx for posting that. I grew up in Saskatoon where wind chills in January were often colder than -80 many mornings. I hope they are right, but remain entirely skeptical given the poor R value of glass (around 5 when treated with metal coating). Hopefully they will give us an update in the spring if they survive.

Hard to believe, John. Record low for Saskatoon is -44° (1947). lol. Saskabush people always exaggerate. My parents were from Saskabush.

Wind chill in early morning...not absolute temp. Frostbite common at University Hospital for folks who thought it was only -20, but didn't take into account the wind during the Canada Winter Games. Only North Battleford to break that North wind.

I better keep quite, Dr. D. I think you may know some of my kinfolk and I don't want to be admitted under your care for foot in mouth disease.
