- Well, here in Regina, Saskatchewan it has been in the -25 C to -35 C
- range every morning for the last week or two...and we've had lows approaching
- -40 C (around -30 F if I did the math right)...
-
- But don't move here if you don't like hot summers. We hit 40 C on a
- reasonably regular basis in the height of summer. Our highs, for the
- metrically impaired, are in the 100 F to 110 F range.

- To add a little satellite-related topic here, does anyone know the effects
- of snow on a mesh dish? I realize a light crusting won't impair my
- reception, but what if a ten foot dish is packed full of the stuff? The
- weight alone could damage the dish, but will it affect my reception?
