Then had to participate in a ridiculous dance around a stake in the ground with what looked like two tyres hanging off it. :-[

Not sure how far Elvis is along with his training, but I read a book by Peter Bloeme called "How to Raise and Train Frisbee Dogs". Its been awesome for Buffy! Followed almost everything in it from when she was 5 weeks old. It works for the Auskick footy she loves too!
Get out in the sun all of you and take in some warmth for me!

Hang on boys. The expert is here to save the day. The sun has fried some of your brains down there! 8)
You lucky buggars. While alot of you have a great degree of knowledge about footy, you should leave the "cold weather" opinions to us who permanently live in this white world.
-46 deg C average in Ottawa. No mate. The lowest recorded temp EVER in Ottawa was -35 C. The average LOW for Ottawa in January is a relatively balmy -14 C.
I have backpacked through the south of Sweden, Finland and the west of Russia during January. Cold?... yes.
I also spent a "vacation" in Anchorage in a December. 2 weeks of "cold".
Before I go further. Let me say this. For wind-chill to be taken into account for a negative temperature, usually a 60 kilometre an hour wind will take off a further 20 degrees C. to the recorded temperature and this doesn`t count on recorded levels. Most of the time when we have wind it consitutes about a drop in a further 10 degrees C. A 60 kilometre an hour wind is very strong and not common, although is does happen.

The Finns are like all Scandinavians - give 'em a beer and they cheer up pretty easily.. Maybe a little more defensive because of their history??? I was more friendly with them because I worked for a Finnish company in London...
I think I did see the Northern lights the first night I was Staying nth of Rovaniemi - however I was staying in a very remote cabin and thought at the time that it was just the lights from a nearby town. When I read my travel guide I realised what I had seen, but it was too late - the weather was not the best the following nights...
Bummer :doh
