Try getting feeling in your fingers and then finding it when it's minus 40.

i know all about minus forty... and unprepared yet in waist deep snow with a pack full of soon to be pelts on my back.. we only went out at -35. with the snow as it was a two hour snow shoe turned into a seven hour slug into the freezing night. we (my buddy and i) had two bottles of frozen water, a granola bar a piece and thank god he had the sense of mind to pack a lighter. i swear that fire we lit (with pocket lint as the starter) saved my toes from frostbite that day. ill never go out so stupidly unprepared again ill tell ya what.

Love the Winter, or ah well at least I used to....now I just like it.  I remember one Winter some 20 years ago we had pretty well a month of -40 and more as an overnight low, it was a bit brutal.

It's stories like these that makes me want to say "I'll never complain about the Florida heat again", but of course I will so I don't say it, lol. Though as a way of demonstrating how cold it can feel in Jacksonville, Fl between the river and the sea I had a friend from Canada (can't recall quite where but I'm guessing a drier area) visiting, it was her first winter in north Florida, stepped outside one morning and said "Brr, must be 18deg out here", I asked her if she meant Fahrenheit, she said yeah and I proceeded to laugh, I said "It's only 37"...

HAHA, my cousin grew up in Green River Wyoming, she now lives in Vegas and complains about the cold. I have to remind her that her lows now were her highs in her childhood.

Yea, I've peeled out of clothes when I'm in Alberta when it warms up to 0 c, and didn't hunt the last weekend of the season in Ocala, Fl. because it was in the upper teens F.

I saw it was in the 40's in Alberta today, I guess I'll get the word to go when in drops into the - dgs.
