[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2909511, member: 109862"] The funny thing is, here when it gets down to that -40 range (Fahrenheit and celcius meet there) if you dress appropriately for that you’ll be fine, and it’s a very dry cold, the air is absolutely bone dry when it’s that cold - hard on the lungs it’s so dry, even with snow everywhere. The coldest I’ve felt I think has been much “warmer” - barely below freezing, and WET. once on the west coast, Vancouver, in February. I was on the shore of the Pacific Ocean and when the sun went down over the horizon the absolute wall of cold air coming off the ocean that hit me was inescapable. You couldn’t get away from it. It got right into your bones. I felt embarrassed being a prairie boy accustomed to much lower temperatures and not feeling cold in them…I was shivering uncontrollably, teeth chattering. It was right around 0 celcius or 32 Fahrenheit. The other time was more recently here in Saskatchewan. Ironically it was during a bout of very unseasonable warmth for January. It was only -10 celcius or 14 Fahrenheit….but apparently it was much warmer higher up because it was RAINING! The raindrops were so supercooled they were instantly forming ice on hitting the ground, no puddles. Scariest roads ever, absolute skating rink. But I didn’t know it could rain liquid water that far below freezing. And it’s friggin COLD getting rained on in January in Saskatchewan haha, way colder than -30 and snowing. [/QUOTE]
