xStric9x Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Just be talking to our friends from Calgary who we meet in Cuba this year, got talking about how cold it is here at the moment and was then told last night it was -28 where they live Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I thought -3 was cold enough... Happy New Year, Mike... Quote
martinmac Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Bet their transport system doesnt grind to a halt though Quote
M13KYF Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 bleeding cold ere but dont think its anyway near -28 just had to thaw out the outside tap. never had to do that before Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 They're bloody welcome to it. Anything below about 20 C and I feel cold. Should have emigrated to a warmer climate when I was younger and had the chance. I HATE THE COLD Quote
xStric9x Posted December 31, 2008 Author Posted December 31, 2008 Yellowknife which is further north topped -45 last night, i told them they must be nuts to live there Quote
Randomfry Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Been watching a bit of ice road truckers lately and the liquid in peoples eyes was starting to freeze. Quote
RobD7 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I went boarding in Canada earlier in the year and can vouch for Calgary being ridiculously cold! Quote
Lexx Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I remember having to chip 3 inches of ice of most of the deck when operating up in Canada. Not for those of poor circulation! Quote
Stew Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I've seen -50*C. That was cold. I used to walk to work in -40*C. That is Siberia though where there is no wind and it's very dry. I found it very easy to live in with the right gear to be honest. I remember working on a rig in -36 for 17 hours straight, I was pretty chilled by the end of that. Quote
martinmac Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Same in the Falklands Stew, its a dry cold and easier to live with. Quote
