All I gotta say is I'm so glad I spent those five winters in Germany - that taught me how to deal with the cold. First thing they did to me when I got over there was take me to the top of the Alps and left me at 10,000 for six weeks. What I learned was as long as you stay warm & dry you're OK - the minute you start feeling the cold that's it; you're done.
Despite all that the coldest place I ever went was last winter in Chicago and the industrial sprawl in the surrounding hinterland. Colder than above 10,000 feet up in the Alps, in the wintertime . . .
. . . and I STILL ain't feeling the cold ! ! !

9 F would make it -12.8 here in Alberta and we would all be very happy. This winter has been fair cool here with many more -30 or colder days than normal. When it gets that cold we generally say "Its cold enough to freeze the nuts off a steel bridge". Thank God it is only another month or so till spring.
ReplyDeleteI spent 17 years in Alaska. Winter day to day temps were not the problem. The problem was winter lasted from October till April. Being cold for 6 months can become painful.
