«chinook : Right.... I'm actually glad I don't have your forecast.
Here's mine for the rest of the week. It's warming up for me (I'm only visiting Nunavut on Thursday/Friday). I'm not going to Arviat, but it's the closest place to where I'll be that has a weather forecast.
Oh look! It gets really nice right as I head out back south to Thompson!
Sub-zero temperatures! You really should move, for your own safety. People die at temps.

Well, it's not as though I live there. Permanently.
Although, with that forecast, I'm packing a few pairs of clean undies for my "day" trip, because I know Nunavut weather well enough to not trust it. Wouldn't that be just luverly - spending my May Long up in NU. On the plus side, I'd get paid for the weekend, and the fishing there is supposed to be incredible.
It is...I worked with a fisheries biologist who helped build the stairs for the char to return to their breeding waters. He loved it up there, complained about Wyoming never getting cold enough.
Our forecast is 90+ today, 100 tomorrow, 102 Friday. Yes, I DO live in the desert, and I am FROM California and darn proud of it! Be nice to the CA Girl! :D hehehe.

Yeah, for some of us, it's like a drug and you need to keep going back to get your 'fix' of the North. I'm counting down the hours until I return (26.5!!).
Out of curiosity, was this biologist in Arviat building stairs or was he working with one of the major dam projects in the Hudson Bay area?
The dam projects weren't for char, were they? I know he spent time in Nunavat, I know he worked on stair projects to restore Arctic char populations to help with the native food populations. Sorry--it was a few years back that he gave a presentation on it, so my memory is a little fuzzy.
So now that my NU trip is nice and cancelled (thank-you, crappy weather in NU!!), I'm sitting at home in my underwear sipping a cold beer because it's freaking hot here.
It's 23C and sunny, and after my 5.5k walk home from work, I'm a hot and very, very sweaty girl.
I'm so glad I'll be north when the real hot weather starts!!
