“I live in Philadelphia and I noticed that you guys are always around -1 or less in Fahrenheit (-18C). Its 21 (-6C) in philly today and we hate it” the user wrote.

“How the heck do you guys survive out there?”

Dozens of Edmonton Reddit users responded with advice both useful, and … less useful.

Vengeful ghosts

User PureFicti0n wrote: “We don’t. We all died of frostbite years ago, and the city is filled with nothing but vengeful ghosts and White Walkers.”

Another user, goobyandscooby, shrugged off the cold:

“It is honestly not so bad. People who want to spend time outdoors still manage to. There are these hardcore runners (November Project? Not sure), who continue their runs despite the weather. People continue to walk their dogs, ride their bikes, and head out on the town. Right now it is very cold, but this kind of weather isn’t the norm.”
