Climate change: It was only -10 degrees F the other day where I grew up. I’m used to California weather now, 50 degrees is cold to me. 
From a **“FEW”**years before I was born.

Stay away from bootleg hooch.
Never had opportunity.
Get to bed by 3? I try to get to bed by 3am.

Her advice is terrible. No meat, no sweets and no peroxide blonds 
That would be a big NO THANKS.

I’ve only experienced actual -40 once, and that was enough.
-20 F is pretty common around here, so windchill of -40 is not abnormal, We usually have at least one week a year where the temperature never goes above 0F.

Ah, but when she enfolded you in her scent, you’d be a goner…
Also @ssummerlin , he’d be a goner. 
Also @speadie , him probably, too. 
Back then in that time? Just show me an ankle.

My coldest was a dry mountain top, around ~20, t-shirt and pendleton, perfectly warm. Hop in a small plane down to coastal Santa Monica, ~60, teeth chattering. 
That is the key word.

NO WIND. I’ve been ice fishing out on a lake at -10 on a clear sunny day and it was nice and comfortable in the sunshine.

Is it like nothing can stop ‘the bite’ at some point? Scary at all?

Breathing becomes hard because the air freezes your lungs.
Scarves or balaclavas are a necessity. If there’s any wind at all, even with a balaclava, you have to face away from the wind in order to actually inhale.
Your eyelashes freeze to your face, and breathing through your nose is impossible.

Spoiler Alert: Worth not watching this clip if you think you might ever watch the whole film (it’s worthwhile, but intense and elemental, so not to everyone’s taste.)
I loved that movie!
Never saw it. Guess I should take a look.
Experienced that in Banff, Alberta, Canada while hitching in a rain storm. Fortunately got a ride before frostbite set in, my glove thumb was frozen in place.
Hah, and Banff is not even the coldest part of Canada by any stretch

Banff and Jasper are much nicer in July. Still saw plenty of ice at the Columbia Icefields.
