rusty

-36 Celsius this morning, with a windchill rated at -46 Celsius.

Thats cold, no matter how you look at it.

Lite poly-pro base layer, heavy poly-pro underwear, military woolie-pullie, vest, jacket.

Helly Hansen lite watch cap, under a heavy fleece watch cap (toque, or stocking cap)

Military cold weather mitts, with Helly Hansen lite liner gloves.

Neoprene face mask, UV googles (Ski type)

Heavy felt pac boots, with silk liner socks, lite merino wool socks, and heavy wool socks.

Light wool pants, with heavy wool pants over those.

I carry the heater packets for warming hands and feet, on the long days, too.

The pack has extra socks, extra mitts, extra toque, a mylar survival bag, fire starter kit, etc. Along with lots of food, and medications, in case I am stuck somewhere.

Just have to dress for the deep freeze, and be prepared.

(You must not mind the odd bit of frostbite, either!     )

Dang I was cooking some bear back strap last night ran out of propane had to run down and get a tank.By the time I got back looked like things were freeze dried.bd

I never knew any politician could change the weather other than creating a lot of wind!

I agree with Flinttim

       ...Van

Without the snow and cold we would have some of the critters they have in other states. Plus my wife LOVES the snow, and makes her feel "cozy".
I love that part.  :D    :D    :D  

Old man winter has been somewhat weak for about ten years, he is making a comeback.

I work outside, and he is giving me a good whipping. I dress for it and sleep like most people wish they could after being out in it from 8 to 5.

I PRAY to god that the global warming thing is just a money making hoax.

Be brave...winter is a newborn, and just getting started!

Well we jumped from the pan into the fire. Now in Washington with white stuff and cold temps everywhere.  I'm bundled up and I'm insidethe house.  LOL

Mike

at least we don't live in some place like fargo where it gets down to -40 windchill.  i know what you mean though

OMG! for a minute I thought there were TWO Wingnuts!!!!!!

Hey, yesterday was 25 deg. and wind 35-48 mph.Cold! Nothing like our friendly winds here in the Panhandle to make life fun, much less for fun archery. We have some interesting shots in our "minor" breezes. I know others have winds too, but ours seem to never cease. There ain't a straight tree anywhere in this part of the world. Today, temp up to 50 but so is the wind. Shooting some anyway. Trick is to shoot at what want to hit, then when you don't you have a great excuse;

Sunday morning it was -12 up in central WI with 35+ mph west winds. Wind chill was somewhere around -40. But since I have two does in my garage, I really can't complain too much.  

i've just spent the last year living in the tropical climate of cape york australia where it's 30+ degress celcius year round. in a week i'll be in cranbrook B.C. guess i'll need more than my stubbies and thongs. (that's ozy slang for shorts and flip flops)LOL

Jason,

Hope you have a little heat in that garage!!!!!

Those doe-cicles are SO challenging to butcher!

Congrats-

Daryl

Well it's currently -20C up here. We just dug out of a 17" snowfall and it's snowing again. Another 6" supposed to fall today. This is definitly snowshoes for snowshoe country this year.
