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

[ChattanCat]

It's friggin cold here too! 29F Ever see fog freezing on the grass? Just weird.


OK, so it isn't -40 but we rarely see snow let alone freezing fog.

[James MacMillan]

I never had that happen. But the coldest temperature that I think I have been in was -30F and we guarded the booze with body heat.

[CactusJack]

:crap: Now that's what I call cold.

[James MacMillan]

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!

Frozen Vodka..man that is cold. That good single malt will warm you up.

I certainly do. I was staying in the Caribbean about twenty-five years ago when it dropped down to 64F overnight. I woke up with a fever the next day, almost missed my flight home. I think that it's still a record there.

Amazing what a difference glass windows make against chill.

Jay,

I remember a few of those evenings especially after a monsoon had rolled through - but I have to admit I think my Brim Frost days in Alaska (-65 degrees) were even colder. The hairs in my nose froze up on me and the gear shift in my truck snapped off. We even had separate heaters for our car batteries - to keep them from freezing up, mine managed to freeze up anyway.

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.

we guarded the booze with body heat.

Was that internal or external body heat?

BOTH!
