I can't imagine. I think the coldest temps I've ever been in were the minus teens at camp in north-central PA. We've been having below average temps here in southeast PA with more days forecasted to not get above the mid-twenties. I'm building an addition and know how to dress and layer to be comfortable in those temps all day long but wouldn't have a clue how to dress for the sort of cold you are talking about. I would like to experience it though. Even if it was only for a very short time.
Eh...wot?

Inversion layers. Often you only have to gain a bit of elevation and it gets warmer. Not too uncommon in a lot of places. (pics are from 2 years ago) Very true. Sometimes its a LOT warmer just a thousand feet higher. I've often wondered if thats one reason marten seem to move up higher at times.

Yukon, wasn't quite that bad here but with wind chill around that 40 to 26 below all day. I was out in it most of the day but a full sun day does help. You don't want to leave it too long thou it was might cold.

I drilled up near fort McMurry in the tar sands back in 2004 and got to experience -64 glad to have had the chance to do it but would not go back. You guys that live up there sure must like the cold.

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

One of my first hunting dogs Barney was a Springer spaniel / black lab cross and yes my youngest daughter named him. He loved the colder temps he did basically the same thing with his steel bowl after that he got a rubber water bowl ha ha Stay Safe out there ! Allan

Been out at -50 once. That was without the sled ride. Checking marten traps was slow going.

And you prefer NC? 😆😅 I've been able to trap beavers here year round for 30 years without ice. That's why I prefer NC. Loved Alaska while I was there. North Pole, AK - January 30,1989

Was pretty cold here for the last week. I was checking traps and a lynx jumped across the trail. I yelled but only a couple ice cubes came out of my mouth. I picked them up and put them in my pocket. Later at the cabin as I warmed up a loud yell came from my pocket when the cubes thawed. Scared me pretty good.
