only until -40 then the Fahrenheit scale sounds much colder. Coldest I ever worked in for a prolonged period was -55
, a few days of -57 & one day of -60. Run those on the 
scale & they sound just brutal. -67, -70.6 & -76. Brrr sounds cold. You can have it. 
Too cold for us Canucks.
No snow from this storm for us up here . . . and I am actually disappointed. I would love for the sledding season to be extended. My wife on the other hand is quite happy and keeps hoping for a warm up . . . didn't have the heart to tell her that it's supposed to be cold enough all week to keep the snow we have on the ground already.
Get here quick Jake. My driveway is a nine hundred foot bobsled run at the moment.
Ummm . . . I'm talking about sledding with a motor in the front . . . aka snowmobiling. Then again, bobsledding might be fun . . . you want to be the driver or brakeman?
Me too. I'm at the northern limit of the Redbud zone, and am worried that mine have been killed by the cold this winter.

Its those big V8's and 10's in my trucks that let you get a paycheck, or to the store, or anywhere else. Also the same ones that drag your toys back on to street when you have miscalculated conditions. If I get jammed up you better believe you had no business being there.
Don't get a paycheck. Don't need to go to the store or anywhere else. So the 454 powered 7,100 pound 4x4 toy is sitting covered in snow in the driveway. Playing winch rack. 
Sounds like a similar Winter to us BB. I was just saying not long ago that the only Winter that would compare to this would be the winter of 94/95 but I don't remember it being quite this long and figgin cold.
Were working on it Jags, were working on it. Trust me we all would have rather been done last month. Spending your days & nights for the shift workers, hugging a steel pipe or pumping water before it freezes in -30 is no fun at all. We have put in so many warming stations this year that I seem to lose count for awhile. Good thing they are there though as with a -45 wind chill things can get real deadly real fast. Not the kind of temps one wants to get wet in. All the normal horseplay on a typical job site just vanishes at those temps, good thing too.
Snow is done. Now just the bone chilling cold. First winter with this many ice and snowfalls we have had without the lights going out.
It's getting pretty thick around here now! I may have to go out and get my waders soon., lol
I wish, those are quite normal temps for an eastern arctic winter above the 60th. Wish it weren't so but it is.
It has never be any "C" here. But tonight is gonna break a record low set in 1878 for the coldest temp in the month of March.
I know it, I looked into a maintenance job at McMurdo science outpost and you start out in our summer and there winter. A big federal contractor which I can't remember the name runs the facilities there and you apply and interview in Colorado. I'd imagine they have quite the redundancy in their heating systems.
