EDMONTON PRIDE!!!! WOOO!!!
lightningboltkid1
My best friend did the same thing. Speaking as one who proposed. We are thankful to friends like you.
Squidg3tt3
You're such a good friend.
3taco5
Right on buddy! I miss you!
CountSnarkula
Marry me or I'll let you and the kid freeze to death...

What a beautifully captured happy moment :)

OP sneaking into position
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Is it just me, or does that building look like a giant pissed off robot's head?
TheEdmontonMan
It's the legislature building in Alberta
WillemHellfire
I will refrain from anti marriage comments. Congrats to the couple. Enjoy the ride.
RezDogLover
Wait this is edmonton!!!! The legislature!

Baby mama finally gets ring
Shishka99
Calgary but still close. Congrats!
understryke
Haha I was at that proposal just outside the picture. My family congratulated them right after.
imightbeawomenorafish
I'm down voting this because my relationship is ending..
imightbeawomenorafish
But still happy for them!!
juloserpy
Omg I was proposed to on the other side of the building on the stairs!! Congrats you bertans
ATLien08
I hope your buddy bought you a beer or 100 after this favor...Cheers!
easteregg
Trust me, even if she saw you, she wouldn't have said anything. Females know what's up.
Fishf00t
Whaddup 780!
thelostg
That's where rocky ran up the steps. Well done.
pingjones
Just a little more north and a bit west.
thelostg
Jk
Quki
Judging by the comments not many here are from north. Hehe. -20 celsius right tho?
wonder89
Uh,from Rochester N.Y. Try that cold with 30 mile per hour wind. And pitch black clouds. At noon.
Quki
I'd like to see weather report with -20°C and 30mph wind. That's pretty rare though? Unlike -20°C with normal wind or -2°C with 30 mph wind.
Fairydogmother
C or F? Either way, not super comfortable temp lol
emmuppet
Canada so -20C or -4F. Cold but not insane
justanotherdescendingangel
-20C is nothing. Today it was -41C with the wind chill.
yallmfsneedjesus
Yea, -20 in Fahrenheit is really fucking cold. There is confusion here.
Stronghans
That building doesn't look very pleased about the whole thing.
Bonesy84
This is awesome....
dekket
So they had a fucking bastard, huh?..
ZoidbergIsGreat
No just a regular bastard.
EatSomeFuckingShitYouFuckingStupidBitch
Such an awesome picture. How high was your ISO set at?
pingjones
Thank you! I believe it was in the 1600-2500 range I don't remember. I'll have to check my exif when Im home!

PizzaPringler
At least 4/20. Eh? Guys?
lucanos
No.
EatSomeFuckingShitYouFuckingStupidBitch
I giggled.. +1 even though ISO 420 would've been a little more acceptable.

macintop
Hard to say but it looks around 4800-6400 ISO (could be higher but it depends on the camera, some have better/less noise than others)
EatSomeFuckingShitYouFuckingStupidBitch
Just wondering considering there's a lot of noise in the picture. @op did a good job compensating ISO for fast shutter speed.
pingjones
It was actually snowing pretty good when I took this, may not be as much noise as you think!
HappyCapybara
I fucking know you!
pingjones
Haha what!
pingjones
JESSICA?! IT'S BEEN AGES
HappyCapybara
How have you been?! I thought you were still living out in BC?!
pingjones
Nope I moved back here a few years ago!
pingjones
We doing that thing when ppl reunite over Imgur?
UmpireForLife
I'm glad my father, and his small team of co-workers could setup this environment of lights for your proposal. I'll tell him/show him [1/2]
pingjones
Rad! Mucho gracias!
UmpireForLife
this image to make his day, he prints and puts stuff like this on his work office fridge. [2/2]
TheEdmontonMan
Tell him thanks, the leg is always a nice place to go in the winter :)
sosofosho
They had a kid out in -20 degree weather?
clancysmum
We dress for it. If you stay inside just coz it's a little chilly, you won't leave your house for 6 months. The kid was prob the toastiest
didireallyescapenorthkoreaforthisshit
Kids play outside at -30 and come home sweaty lol :v
kvikz
We do the same thing in Denmark. Also unattended in a stroller outside a restaurant. Just make sure baby has a blanket on. Vikings you know.
SlightlyNormal
There's a thing called clothes, you know. Try it.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
Do you even winter, bro?
JaronceOrTwice
We have +15 frost resistance.
thejenster
This was my thought exactly, but then I thought maybe it's cause I'm from the south. Hmmm kudos on the great pic.
Arsikere
badass
keppay
That's how we grow Canadians up here
Showsyerhaggis
Swaddle the little fucker in lots of warm things and get them some fresh air
sj2890
Converter says that's -4. That's still really cold; I wouldn't take my baby out in that.
pingjones
Schools don't shut down here in snow storms or anything. It has to be at least -40 for there to be a snow day, at least from what I remember
wowwowwiwah
Guess it depends on where you live.as others stated it's that cold for ~6 months, guess you wouldn't keep your baby inside that long either
yallmfsneedjesus
-20 Celsius. That's Canada not US. -20 Fahrenheit is a VERY different thing.
kkuja
I wouldn't call that huge difference. After all, it just 8 C difference. (or I missed something)
yallmfsneedjesus
No it's a huge difference. 0C is 32F. If you use C then -20F = -28C would be a clearer example. C intervals are larger than F.
DoNotKnowJack
-20C is -4F
salazarsandwich
-20F is -28C.
StubbyJohnson
Celsius my man, but even still, as someone from Upper Michigan currently living in Duluth MN, kids are fine in -20F when properly clothed.
nakedlady92
Hey! I'm from Marquette living in Minneapolis!
StubbyJohnson
I guess Minnesota is a good fit for yoopers haha, keep on keepin' on!
Quki
Thats still good weather to put a baby to sleep outside. Just warm clothing and good cover and they have damn good nap time.
SexualPeanut
It's so calming.
twominutesforhighsticking
That's -4F so not quite as awful as you might be imagining.
anitabieror6
when you say-4 do you mean negative four degrees (36 degrees below freezing)? or 4 degrees below freezing (28 degrees)? -4 is pretty cold
twominutesforhighsticking
I mean -4 degrees Farenheit. I'm in Minnesota so if we didn't go out at -4F we'd never go outside in winter. :)
teardropivyyearofthetiger
Ottawa? Victoria?
puppiesarepoopers
nah, it's chilly in Vic but we'd die at -20C. https://imgur.com/BSLpJGF (IG @dystrukshun)
BeLessBadAndBeMoreGood
Edmonton. They are parliament buildings if that's what your guessing at.
teardropivyyearofthetiger
They look really similar. I'm three hours south so just guessed....
dekket
We scandinavians call this "slightly chilly". Canadians too, I'd imagine.
Vencakes
I'm from Alaska, but I live in the lower half. I think -20C/-4F is too cold for me, but -17/0F through -6/20F is my comfort zone
AuroraNora33
As a Norwegian I feel the same. Though anything between -5°C and 15°C is nice as well
yallmfsneedjesus
Thinking they are from the US and that it's Fahrenheit.
teardropivyyearofthetiger
No Canada can get to -40c or f regularly
periwinklepanda
In Germany babies are put outside in their prams or bassinets for naps. In Russia and Finland people will sauna and then run out into the /1
periwinklepanda
subzero temps and either go into the water or dump water on themselves. Don't know if I could ever do it but they are people who do and /2
periwinklepanda
it's normal for them.
Peldie
As a Finn, I can confirm this. Our babies slept outside in their prams when it was -25C, no probs. You just have to check they breath...
Tutor
Which is easy as the breath steams like a fucking volcano during that kind of weather
puppiesarepoopers
you gonna keep a kid indoors for 3 - 6 months? -20C isn't that bad
scifinovelist
Exactly, and the snow quality is better when it's colder, both for riding on the snow and building things out of it.
yallmfsneedjesus
I think they believe it's -20F. That's waaaaay colder.
dekket
Right? Although... if the wind picks up and the air is kinda damp, so you have ice crystals slamming you in the face... no fun.
puppiesarepoopers
very true. proper attire helps, as does moving to vancouver island
justanotherdescendingangel
If we all moved there would be nobody to grow crops or produce natural gas.
puppiesarepoopers
and it would be quite cramped
pingjones
We're from Canada, guess we're bred different here.
Kentopholus
And edmonton is known for being a pinch nipply
Rugbyrucker
It's that +50 racial bonus. Damn Canadians.
carmablue
We have a +20 racial bonus on ride checks involving moose as well
Rugbyrucker
Can confirm, hunting racial for sure. Regina/Saskatoon Elk hunting rocked.
dashingrainbowturtle
In Finland we too put babies outside for nappies. Even when cold weather. It provides fresh air, sun (vitamin D) and quality sleep.
T00MUCHD0G
just toss em right in the snow, eh?
dashingrainbowturtle
Wrap them up well in the skins of their enemies or just winter clothing. Then put them into baby carriage.
