I’d be curious if I could find enough clothes to be able to withstand these temperatures for half an hour. The coldest I’ve ever experienced was −20°C some 15 years ago.
There are research stations in Antarctica where it has like -60°C or lower on a typical day. There’s an interesting post on stackexchange referencing the US Antarctica programme on about what clothing for these conditions should look like.
Long sleeves and long underwear/leggings, two pairs of socks, flannel-lined jeans if you have them, sweatpants and jeans on top if not, flannel or similar overshirt, scarf(!), sweater/sweatshirt, winter coat (or 2 additional sweaters/sweatshirts and a raincoat or other large windbreaker), boots, gloves, mittens, and hat.
You won’t die, especially if you move around. I’ve had to take the coat off while shoveling in those temperatures, though my feet and hands were unhappy after a while. Definitely have a cup of hot liquid when you get back inside though.
That’s not that cold? Almost any winter gear you buy in Canada will be rated for atleast -30c. It gets that temperature normally without windchill regularly.
In fact, it was just -20c without windchill the last 2 days here.
It isn’t the amount but the quality of the clothes. My wife and I were skiing yesterday at -8°f without issue. So that’s temp plus actual wind chill and windspeed while riding.
I just got this beauty of an alert.
That’s -34.44 Celsius for those not in the USA.
WHAT
IT’S GOING TO BE COLD OUTSIDE, BROTHER. MAKE SURE YOU DRESS APPROPRIATELY, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER, JUST BAD CLOTHING.
Except for high wet bulb temperatures. That shit will kill you even if you’re naked.
Your father was a naked high wet bulb!
That’s what my mom liked about him
Waitaminute. That’s what my mom liked about him
b…brother?
Fr… from another mother?
Dress: Appropriate

IF IT GETS TOO COLD YOU MIGHT CRACK YOUR HOG WHEN YOU GO TO CRANK IT. NOBODY WANTS THAT!

In 20 years, it’ll be a temperate climate.

It is wind chill not actual temperature. Still cold cold cold but not as bad as it sounds in terms of your internal organs freezing or whatever.
I don’t see the point, since I would give up based on the perceived temperature way before any damage from the real temperature would occur.
You get used to it. Humans have an amazing ability to adapt.

Correct. Actual is expected to be -23° Farenheit.

You might be used to it and prepared for it, but it’s still bloody cold!
Easily. They cost a small fortune unfortunately. Look up Canada Goose parkas. Or Outdoor Survival Canada.

That’s…. Not that cold? It gets normally down to -32c/f here, and that’s without windchill.
