ShooterTom Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ken that is unreal...is there a point that it's so cold you can't tell a difference between lets say -10 deg. vs -40 deg. I was always curious about that? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montea6b Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ouch that's cold! I spent a week in January about 10 years ago in Cold Lake Alberta, (apptly named) where it was -40 all week. What I remember is that when it gets that cold they caution you about breathing too rapidly. You really have to be careful and breath slowly to let the air heat up as it goes into your lungs or you can fry the little little avioli sacs with frostbite. You could feel the little hairs in your nose freeze on every intake, and I went out to the car once with damp hair after a shower and my hair froze! (would have worn a hat, but was getting right into the car.) Other than that as long as it wasn't breezy and you watched your exposed skin you could bundle up and it wasn't too bad. Kind of an interesting experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 And just think it hit a record high of over 60 here. Went from 10" of snow to nothing in less than 24 hours. That's got to be good for business though. Stay warm, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Darn..I was complaining when it hit 50 in Cali. Still Alaska is on the list....I just gotta convince the Hippy Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always curious about that? Tom You can feel a difference. Especially when it's warming up. After a week or so of -40, -20 will feel warm and -10 will be shirt sleeves weather. Here's how I see it, 0 to -10 is not bad at all. -20 is cold but do-able. -30 is GD cold. From -40 to -60 is F-ing Cold. (That's what everybody says when they come inside) -60 is the coldest I've seen, and I hope not see it again. I started my service van at 6:00 this morning and It almost didn't catch. I'm going to leave it running until the temp gets back above -30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 -50 here in North Pole, Alaska this morning. The weather forecast calls for temps to warm up to -25 and snow flurries. Wishful thinking I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 It's supposed to warm up to +16 by tuesday. I sure hope they're right this time. The temps have been hovering from -40 to -60 for a couple weeks now and it's really getting old. My service van crapped out on wednesday night (fuel pump I think) and I couldn't get a tow until friday night, so I'm semi out of commision until it back on the road.
