Yeah I’m “all the way down” in Chelan, and it’s -4 right now. Painful cold.

I’m at -24 and still dropping. East of Tonasket.
On the positive, the sky is amazingly crisp.

County Dept of Emergency Management was pretty funny in their wind-chill alert this afternoon. "On a positive note, tomorrow, you will receive 2 more seconds of daylight."

Once I went skiing in -25 in Vermont. It was fun.

Be careful because at those temps, a weak car battery might not start.

I survived -40°F in Michigan… it was cold, but, you know, layer up, eat food, keep moving. First time in 100 years that Mich State Univ cancelled classes. We all went out in the snow and played. It was a good time.
It get’s to -80°F in Alaska sometimes. People survive ok.

If their house is built for it sure. How about outside chickens that aren’t used to anything below 20f?

Oh yeah, I’d build a heater for them.. for sure. Like a ‘tea light heater’ or ‘greenhouse heater’.. seen those? Super useful.

Is this a 2 series? I prefer this analog gauge cluster over the digital ones in the LCI.

I lived in Anchorage for a few years. Discovered that I liked day hikes in the winter much more than summer. I will admit, this was largely due to bears being in hibernation, but I was surprised at how much I liked the cold. When you can dress for it, it makes a big difference.

I hate the heat in summer. Cold just requires you to manage layers & be aware of times. With heat, there is no escape (I almost got a heat stroke when I went backpacking during the peak heat season).

Yes! Prior to Alaska, we lived in Texas, and wow. One summer it was three straight months of triple digit heat, plus Houston humidity thrown in for good measure. I made the mistake of taking the kids to the pool and not getting in the water myself. After a while, I felt kinda sick, and realized I was just way too hot. Got in the pool and felt so much better.
