-17 and it's not too cold????

That's a reasonably nice day up year this time of year - note that the -17 is in celcius, it's 1 degree Fahrenheit. When dressed for the weather it's inconsequential, I think my two youngest sons would play outside in that just about all day if they didn't have to stop to refuel from time to time

This is a very ordinary day, here's some screenshots from a post I made back in 2021, that was a cold and snowy winter here and on December 30 we got this, with the windchill factored in (and it was weird to have wind, normally at this temperature there isn't), -51 celcius or -60 Fahrenheit is actually too cold to be playing outside for long . The air actually just hurts your face in that nonsense, until you stop feeling it entirely

Yesterday morning we weee at -33 celcius, that's cold enough to take notice but not too cold to walk to work if ya have to

Crabbing/fishing for thanksgiving.

How does a person go about crabbing if I may ask? I live about as far away from oceans and crabs as can be haha.

Is it with a net, or like a lobster trap thingy? Or do you just chase them down the beach with tongs and a butcher knife singing the "le Poisson, le poisson!" song like the French chef in Disney's "The Little Mermaid"?

Yes, I have a 4 year old daughter, and yes I have had to watch that particular film too many times in the last year
