But, it doesn't feel as cold as it can around here. There is a huge difference between damp cold and dry cold. Out there it's very dry so it doesn't feel the same as -40 would here. No real humidity in the summer either. Excellent. -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift - which is why they call it the present.'

I feel your pain... terrible terrible pain... we should start a club. we could call it "the I froze my toes off at the Quebec Winter Festival while sipping warm Caribou with Bonne Homme, but it was worth it Club" -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!

Hottest is about 105°F but I am expecting about 140°F when I go to Egypt at the Valley of the Kings -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 9 Joined: 4-March 08 Member No.: 150375	I grew up in northern Alberta, Canada. I once woke up to see the temperature at -51'C. That did not include windchill. I'm sad to say I didn't venture outside to find out exactly what that felt like. Last weekend here in Edmonton it was -35 with a -41 windchill and unfortunately I'm no stranger to these temperatures!

You have to dress properly for it. That's the 'secret'. Layers Rich. It's all about the layers.

Hahah yay! Speaking of my previous post about experiencing -15°F with windchill. This morning when I went to my car it was -17°F after wind chill (that is -27°C). My windows re-froze once I got into the car and was driving about halfway to work. The funny part is that some that froze were not frozen to begin with.

Tourist Group: Local Expert Posts: 520 Joined: 24-September 09 Member No.: 375741	Minneapolis -37 C and that was air temperature. For wind chills, I have experienced far below that (and have the frost bite to prove it).

Tripper Group: Local Expert Posts: 2002 Joined: 4-June 06 Member No.: 2195	What a thrilling topic. Last night the temperature in Miami dropped to 32F (0C), which was just a tad off of our all time record of 30F (-1C). Last night was certainly the coldest I have ever felt in Miami! -------------------- .
