Don’t know how cold it gets where you are. Most days it hovers around -10 to -20 , think the record stand in the -30 , but humidity and wind really affects how you feel it....it's a humid place here even during the summer.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I was amazed at how fast the cold went through my gloves, hurt like hell warming my fingers up again. I've never experienced that degree of cold before, the humidity is generally quite low but it does get windy. Without the right clothing you could be in serious trouble very quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember this one time , must be at least 30 years ago when I use to snowmobile...we were dum and stupid , and would go out in extreme cold , the temp dropped dropped to - 31 c after nightfall , ive never experienced anything similar before , by the end of the ride we were about 30 km before reaching the shelter ...the colder we got , the faster we pushed the machine to reach the shelter, speed in excess of 60 mph , i remember not my skin feeling cold but my inners , lungs , heart, chilled down to the core , a few buddies had there tip of there nose turn completely white...white like paper....took hours for me to stop shivering after I got home...even by being buried under blankets... these are the exact same gloves I was wearing at the time...I still have them...lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
