After -50 -22 feels pretty friggin warm:spit:
Temps swing like that here in Southern Indiana too. Over 100* in the summer with 95% humidity to single digits and 30mph wind in the winter. Not sure why the hell I live here.
I lived in a cabin next to Brown's hill on Badger Loop, out by North Pole, temp would vary 10 degrees in 10 feet of elevation change. Smoke would come out of the chimney and go horizontal the temp inversion was so bad. Spent one night running in and out of the cabin with my camera trying to get pictures of the northern lights before the camera froze up. Had to put it in a plastic bag when you went back in to keep if from fogging up. Changing a tire at -40 sucked. Coldest temp I ever saw was -62 at the bottom of the bank in front of the cabin. The higher up you can get around Bareflanks the better, also get on a south facing slope. BTW it was a balmy -4 here this morning.
I got back from the North Slope Alaska today (where it was about 20 deg warmer) to -33 in Nisku. My '09 company owned 6 liter beater fired right up. Sure miss my heated leather.
-50F is the coldest I have seen, Damn global warming... North Pole is always 10 degrees colder than us. I live off the Chena a little, down by the Pump House. Looking back I wish we would have bought a house up on chena ridge or off of famers loop. Oh well, hopefully only a year or two more up here.
I wadded up my motocross bike at the polar roller track, just down the road from your cabin.
Where you moving to? It's been in the 40-50's here for a while now. I pay a lot more attention to the weather now that I don't have a heated shop to work in!
I want to move back to Boise Travis. Maybe go back to Western States or ??? Wife and I have been toying with doing something with a Gym as well? Who knows?
You man up and go Field Service?
