completely ridiculous scene, weather-wise:

it's melting. you can see puddles, huge puddles everywhere. you can't see their breath, even when they're talking. it's probably +5 or better (40F for you people who think fargo is the far north). no one puts on a gigantic fur-trimmed hood when it's melting and buttons it up. you wouldn't even need a toque, probably. and what's he doing with that broom, pushing slush off his driveway? lots of snow left to melt, you'll just get sheet ice after it refreezes. this is the kind of weather we see in march if we're lucky, april if we're not.

saskatoon weather forecast tonight: light snow (5cm expected), low -28, NW winds at 20 km/h with windchill -40.

I'm upvoting plastique's comment because he somehow turned a scene from an American cinematic farce into a weather rant, which as I am well aware is a Canadian pastime.

Add in the obligatory "you young fellers / walked five miles to school / uphill both ways / had to shoot a prairie walrus for dinner to survive and weren't they tough to hunt / picked my teeth with the tusks" segue, and I'd be homesick beyond belief... er, if I weren't home, that is.

Lol, right there with you plastique. -38 C in Calgary tonight with windchill. If you can't see your breath, it's shorts and t-shirt weather in the prairies.

Did anyone see the Rose Parade the other day? I'm sitting here wearing a wool coat. Maybe its just that the actors are from LA, like me, and anything below 70 (F) is FREEZING.

Funny movie.

Strange mix of reality and Hollywood.

Steve Buscemi showed his colors there: damn good actor.

(apparently folks from Saskatoon take their snow-melting very, very seriously....)

Hell I showed up in Edmonton in January one year during a freakish warm spell - a few degrees above freezing, maybe 5 or 10 degrees Celsius.

There was a guy wandering on the street in shorts.

it doesn't snow when it's cold. just so's yous knows. it's around zero here in lithuania, snowing like fuck.

and by the way, if anyone else has a way of pedantically ruining a classic scene from a movie, please let me know my girl is a script supervisor, she loves that shit.

"It's probably nothing."

Biggest failed assumption in cinematic history!

Maybe the independent producers should have waited two seasons to film the rest of the movie.

heh, in ontario we haven't had snow for the past week. I actually got to take my motorcycle out. -11 tonight though.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

It's gotten up to about 90F here in the past week. No snow in sight.

-35F (-37C) here tonight.... damn cold

Or maybe they should have reworked the scene?
