Now, How does the folks in sub zero deal with cabin fever in the days of cold? Lots of movies and trips to the stove???
Did you see the report of high rate of births last month, nine months after the blizzard hit in the DC area?

It gets much colder than that up in the air @ 20,000 ft right now. Hmmmmm and their still flying. Need a pilot on board here.

While flying the plane is already warm. If it stays parked all day and night all the metal and fluids are cold. Thats what the -40 rule was. Planes have crashed before because of the cold. I had a flight one day in alaska and the plane sat all night at -27, when the pilot set the flaps for takeoff they were so slow it was hard to believe. At some point they wouldn't work as it would take more pressure to push the fluid then the pump would supply.

I havent seen that at -55f. Must of been cold, or was that the outside urinal for everyone and it was layering up?
Dunno if it counts but I remember a day it was -75 with the wind chill in college (Bowling Green, Ohio). Everywhere cancelled school except for BG, my first class was a 2 mile walk. I didn’t make it to class…but I did manage to get to the beer distributor and bring a keg back to warm the boys up.
my brother lives in gorham, nh, which is right next to mount washington. just for giggles, i check the weather there on occasion. a typical winter day would be something like -25 to -45 degrees, wind around 40mph, gusts to 80mph, 5-8 inches of snow. check for yourself this winter, its crazy there. they have a weather observation something there.

Thats near where I expereinced one of the -35 days, at the Mt Washington Hotel, I think its in Bretton Woods, NH. The top of Mt Washington has is its own weather, crazy winter weather. I read a blog in the winter of one of the meteorologist that works up there, the pics are amazing.

That must have been a heck of a fire to fight - at some point it must have turned into a "let it burn out just keep it from spreading" case eh?
Seems all that ice out there would just make it too dangerous a scene to work.
