It is so cold......how cold is it??

[Alaskan Kilted Guy]

Well, I have updated you all on the temperature here. It has been hovering around -30 to -45 F. Well I normally use my porch as a natural freezer and keep my vodka out there to stay chilled. Well, I was going to make a drink a little while ago and well.....have a look.

Here it is.....



And upside down.....


Oh, and I have decided to wear trousers...it is a little too cold for the kilt....I would hate to break down and have to walk kilted.

[Bugbear]

Yep, that's cold.

[Clockwork John]

I set the vodka in the refrigerator, and headed to the liquor store. I used a gift card that my employer gave me for Solstice, and bought a nice bottle of Glenmorangie 10 year, which I must say was much better than the vodka would have been anyhow.

Oh, and McMurdo... you can whine. To be honest, I have been colder in Washington state at +18F than I ever have been here at -30. The dampness down there soaks in to you. Can't shake it.

Just like Ireland! I'll take -20F and dry over 40F and wet any day.

Stay warm, man. The cold can sneak up on you. After -20, it all feels the same.

[McMurdo]

OK I'll quit whinning about how cold it is here, at least I can still walk outside in my kilt.

[Dirk Skene]

Gee manezzz! If is cold enough to freez that it is way too cold for me.
