Seriously don't know how you guys live in those freezing conditions. I'll stick with our hot 30+C temperatures any day!

The coldest (that I know..) that I've ever worked outside in, is -36c.....

 

[michaelmaltby]

... about the same for me - 13 - but with wind chill, much cooler. But if you are dressed for it - insulation layers and a robust wind-weather-stop outside layer - it's actually OK - as long as you keep moving. Riding and rescuing SK- DOOs comes to mind ...

True.... The wind chill can be lethal!

The wind chill can be lethal ....

Out on squirrel hunting?

"...Out on squirrel hunting?"

Sadly, no, friend. Out freezing to death .... with a 1,000 yard stare.

 

[Lucky13]

Just think, sandy beaches, birds, bikinis, booze....

From plus three to minus 16 overnight ....

On the walk in we followed fox tracks -- not this guy (not my photo) but his kin
