And whats the coldest absolute temp (excluding windchill) you've ever seen up there?

Ambient about -46 but it only takes a small breeze to put the WC numbers up there.
Ive pissed on the blade of the dozer at -80 and it flowed for an inch or so before it froze.Your dick would freeze first.

I guess thats where the expression "Cold enough to make your snot freeze" comes from.

Snotsicles,you get tired of brushing them off all the time.Your nose runs steady in that cold,all the time,every day,non stop.A moustach helps.

how would it help? wouldn't the snot just get all caught up in em?

Better then on the lips which would get chapped very fast. Human nature to wipe it off and a hard habit to break,thats why the fur on the backsides of the mitts.

They funnel the snot down and away the longer they get, so best to leave them.Usually around -30 your into a full face something,and with any wind your face is totally covered or close to it anyways.
So it's cold but if the wind is off you and your layered it's not bad because everything looks and sounds different at that temp.If your warm then you can sit back and focus on the beauty of the environment and wonder at how people have lived up here for thousands of years,how anything lives and survives there.

The weather report direct from the prairies
The guys and I were out in the garage having a couple of beers, I went out side for a whiz, it was so cold the piss stream froze solid and pushed me over bacwards
Currently -36 below 20km winds

I know, it's amazing how the Inuit (and other cultures) have survived such adverse conditions. We bitch about the weather sitting behind 3 panes of glass in our nice warm homes and yet for them it is just a part of life. I'd love to see the north, who knows maybe one day the McKenzie Valley pipeline will finally go and I might have my chance.

Never heard of it,supposedly its going to Manitoba.I saw it on the HRDC job bank last week and the edmonton and calgary suns.

It would be one hell of a long run............but I guess they've done that sort of thing before. There's a diamond mine going north of there so maybe there something tied in with that..?
