I live in Northern BC, it drops down to -40Cabout twice a year. And often hits -20C. Those two temps are nothing alike. Nothing.
In -20, it's cold, it hurts, the air is dry. You turn your car off for an hour it won't start.
At -40, moisture in the air is flash freezing forming sparkles that look like magic. The cold burns all over your body like your lying on a bed of coal. And if you shut your car off for a few mins, it won't start.
You can most definitely tell the difference between -20 and -40. One is very cold, and the other is "Oh my god I just spit and it froze to my lips upon exit of my mouth"
Minus -60, Tower Minnesota back in '96.....I came to realize hell wasn't warm, it was cold.
I have experience colder when I was station in Alaska in the early 80's.....but really, below -60, the cold is just ridiculously painful.
Tower, Minnesota...
Nothing like living in an apartment, waking up and looking out the window and seeing a cemetery...great way to start the day! :lamo
Wow...some other poor soul that has actually been there? :mrgreen:
My daughter was in Edmonton, AB for 7 years, she said like we have heat warning days, the news posted skin exposure times.I live in Northern BC, it drops down to -40Cabout twice a year. And often hits -20C. Those two temps are nothing alike. Nothing.

She was telling me that at below -20, the city would open the subway tunnels for the homeless,
(I was thinking their homeless are a lot tougher than ours)!
Thankfully I only visited in Summer, My wife spent 3 months up there in winter, and said it was very unpleasant.
In Minnesota we call that "a bit nippy."
-135 C, I am guessing the CO2 level is very near zero at that temperature.
Didn't algore and barry tell us that by now there would be no cold spots left on earth? How do leftie retards keep believing in the lie?
If they actually sad that, they are either stupid, or counts on the stupidity of their constituents.

If? Come on. You’re not dumb enough to think for a moment anyone said Antarctica wouldn’t be cold.
They counted on stupidity. Google "Chicago Climate Exchange".
I have been told lots that the world could be flooded by 70m if all the ice were to melt so we must panic now........
Yep, lots of that.
Interesting reading.
Thanx.

The thing is, for that much ice to melt, the thermal expansion of the oceans would add more yet.
