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

[Frank McGrath]

In my world, 65 degrees is freezing. I was really cold today. Got to work outside. How lucky can one guy get.

we guarded the booze with body heat.

Was that internal or external body heat?

[Nervous Jock]

All coldness is relative. The coldest feeling that I can remember was in Viet Nam of all places. It once dropped down to 58F and we were just miserable and shivering. Couldn't get warm for two days. We were adjusted to the wet tropics and ...... well, you understand.

Chase and Jay can probably tell us about being cold at weird temps right now!

Agreed we were in Brive in France at a rugby match one December the stadium had stands down either side and open at either end. We stood at one of the ends as you walked towards the stands you could physically feel it getting colder as the concrete sucked the warmth from you.

Wow. Over here in Cali, I feel guilty for feeling cold at 45°F.

Wow. Over here in Cali, I feel guilty for feeling cold at 45°F.

If you want to be colder, you could come visit me... It's in the teens and 20s at night.

[Moosedog]

Yup. 35 degrees and pouring rain here in Western Oregon. I would take a cold Fairbanks morning over this any day. Just be careful of the inversion...

Was that internal or external body heat?

BOTH!

[Chase]

The coldest its been here in Iraq was 38 degrees...I worked in Northern Alberta back in the early 80's and it got as cold as minus 27 that I can remember...It was so cold I chipped a tooth eating my soup.

[kevinkinney]

Yup,

I had the Mackenzie Weathered tank, and stout Aran sweater, and boots ready for Christmas services at 8:00 am. We've got blizzard going, so I opted for the parka, mukluks, German Army issue wool pants, and mitts instead.

Happy Holidays.

Kevin.

Coldest I've ever been was around 0 deg F in the Boston navy yard. There was a 30 to 40 MPH wind blowing and the cable to the officer's lounge TV antenna had been blown loose from the connector. It was on Superbowl Sunday and the duty officer had decreed that either we (electronics techs) either fix their antenna or swap the cable(in the junction box) from the crew's antenna. It was so cold up on the mast that a 100 watt soldering gun would not melt solder. We wound up having to go to the shipfitters shop and borrow a propane torch with a soldering iron head. We got it working, but the duty officer got his butt chewed on when the Captain found out about his threats, and for sending us up there to work in that kind of weather
