Wow. 38. Only 78 degrees warmer than the temp I used to walk six
blocks to school in when I was in elementary and junior high. I
remember one six-week period during which the temp never rose above
zero F. Forty below was common, in the days before global
warming...

It was uphill both ways, too, right?
It is all what you are used to. Living in Indiana, I get a
kick
when the Weather Bureau posts wind chill warnings for Florida's
panhandle when WIND CHILLS get down to 32 or so.

seriously

One winter I was working in the UP of Michigan and they had a
snowmobile race just outside the hotel I was staying at (near the
International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie) anyway of course we went to
watch - it was literally about 2 degrees out, and was fairly
tolerable... until I decided I wanted a cup of coffee and started to
walk back to the hotel, and realized that there was a decently brisk
wind, and it'd been at my back the whole time I was standing there...
woo, that's cold!

And there were a whole mess of guys out there racing snowmobiles the
whole time...

You don't no cold. I worked a stint in Labrador City in 2006. Dipped
down to -40c (in the -50's f).

Wrong. -40 is the same in C or F. Veify on Google by typing "-40 f to c" in
the search bar. If you don't believe Google, solve the two temp conversion
formulas simultaneously. Equal at -40. Easier to trust Google on this one
:-)



Forget plugging in your truck at night
- we kept it running 24/7. Add a wind chill on that - now thats cold.
+2F - wear shorts and a sweat shirt in that weather - Hide quoted text -
