Old trappers of the north camped out on the regular in sub zero temps. I’m camped out right now in the kitchen drinking coffee...

My goofy kid and his buddies went out on the lake with the quads ice fishing this morning at like 4am with -15 real temp. I was sitting in the warm kitchen drinking coffee play with his pup at 5am. The boys are fishing in a derby they call the Atomic Derby. Last year there was I think like 1000 people registered to fish? I went out last year and fish a while with them. They have to be in line at like 1pm for weigh in then there is a big party after. I'll probably run up at noon grab the trailer with the quads go stuff it in the kids garage. Then they can go to the after party not have such parking issues with quad trailer.. Anyway if it wasn't right now -11 with the wind chill at -30 I'd take the pup go visit the boys. Instead I'm going to sit here suck coffee reading t-man post. Not even looking forward to picking the trailer up for them clowns and it's just unhook from his truck hook to mine.. But if I was still young as them in my 30s I'd probably be out there too.

Go Fishing!

Great weather for frost scraping.Get a bunch of fur done quick and easy.Was minus 51 c last night with the wind chill here.

When is it supposed to get cold ?

Work in this weather I enjoy cold over hot and muggy negative 40 isn't to bad when you dress for it and stay active

Had -24 here this morning I did the usual got up went outside fired the boiler and went back in to help the wife clean the house. Gonna be a cold week oh well making ice

Those are some brutal temps. I've only experienced -30 degrees in Oregon and North Dakota. My time outside on those days was limited to 3 or 4 minutes bursts then back inside to warm up.

At minus 30 I generally stay home or in camp and work in the fur shed.

Its +31 here in western Alaska

There hasn't been many cold days this winter yet, any way like that. If really cold I stay busy getting a few carvings done and just tinkering. I would rather have it cold then have rain and warm temps and snow and rain in the winter. I hate bad roads worse then working and being out in the - cold.

None of the windchill Crap....to enhance your coldness. We just want actual mercury readings....we all know it’s bad when the wind picks up....So I sit inside and sip on a Dram of Good Scotch.

Boco ...what is -51c ...in American degrees ? They tried to teach us the metric system....Nevah caught on ,here in the states.

Between this cold snap (gee whiz, it's winter !) and recent rotator cuff surgery, I'm relegated to cleaning and sorting my man cave area in the basement, listening to tunes, etc.

Minus 59 F or so I believe

Osky

about -25..my bad..i looked it up...-59.8

Right ! -59.8F to be precise

I'd stay home where it's warm if I could lol
I once stalked a red fox in a -58 wind chill, old formula
Even with insulated coverall, two stocking hat face masks, it was brutal coming back to truck into the wind

Pretty cold here! It was 40 this morning.

Impress my wife by tackling the honey due list! Save the fun outdoor activities for better weather!
