When I moved to Saskatchewan in July 1985 , I hit a wall of heat .
This was a new experience for me : 42 degrees celsius and absolutely no humidity- unlike Ontario .
I could feel the water literally being sucked out of my body . Sweat evaporated before it had time to collect into a drop on my forehead . Thus , there was no cooling effect of evaporation . The water dissipated too soon to reduce my body temperature. I felt sure the few clouds that did occasionally build in the sky were formed from evaporated human sweat.
How did these hearty prairie people manage to do it ?
Winter is about five months (with snow) in these parts so is a major force of life . The rest of the time is filled with things ...many of which are in preparation for winter .
