Trev-the-Rev Posted December 31, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD7 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I went boarding in Canada earlier in the year and can vouch for Calgary being ridiculously cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted December 31, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 31, 2008 Share 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.
