[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3008405, member: 109862"] Hahaha…yeah I get a kick out of that “dry cold” claim. Being from Saskatchewan we know all about dry cold but the thing is it’s not possible to have “wet cold” at -40 because it’s not possible for anything humid to stay that way haha. That being said, one of the coldest things I’ve felt has been on the coast of the pacific in Vancouver in February. I thought I was on a balmy warm vacation, it’s so warm there compared to here. But then, standing on the shore of the ocean in a sweater and blue jeans, the second the sun went down a nasty cold wind blew in off the sea and it started raining. Just a hair above freezing all of a sudden, windy, and getting rained on. That was wet cold!!! I will say even here the days when it’s just in that -10 celcius range and still humid and overcast it’s still definitely not DANGEROUS the way -30 is, but it gets into your bones it feels like in a way that dry cold doesn’t. Makes my joints hurt and stiffen up and takes forever to warm up once you’ve been chilled. Nonetheless, humid cold right around freezing is uncomfortable for the poorly dressed. “Dry cold” at -40 will kill the poorly dressed. [/QUOTE]
