The woman and I thought it's been cold here, I guess we've just had it too easy for too long. Our low temps have been around 0 to -2 F, and pretty windy on some days (around 50MPH over the weekend), but -40 is seriously cold. It's supposed to be back in the 40s next week, though. I'm guessing you're above the Arctic Circle?

The "good" thing is when its 40 minus here it is alomst no wind and low humidity. So with the right clothes you can live with it but you dont go out if not nessesary
And i just changed oil in the daily, and just had a barrel with 15-40 diesel oil for the tractor so i put that in ::) You dont want to start the car in minus 40 with that
probably like a glob of grease in the pan. Monday it is suposed to be around 0 c (about 28 F) but 8 inch of snow.
Im about 50 60 miles below the Arctic circle at the top of the gulf of bothnia i see the sea from my bedroom window.

Heo - That last picture is very nice!!

I don't know if I could stand -40 very long.  My wife gets very cold feet, and she insists on warming them up on me when we climb into bed  :o :o
A careful study of failure will yield the ingredients for success.
