I’m convinced it’s the winters that get them

    Our winters here aren’t much better. We hit -50C for 2 weeks last winter. The only benefit, I suppose is that we get a lot of sun during the winter, as we’re in a rain shadow.

        When you step outside, your face hurts. And that’s if it’s not windy. Unless you’re really bundled up, it feels like you’re naked in the cold, and your clothes are like a makeshift tarp you’ve wrapped around yourself.

          In these temps anyone will understand how cold can burn.

          I slept outside in -42 when I was in the army in Finland. Not a good night’s sleep, I’ll tell you that.

        Eh it is a dry cold…

        But really after -20 or so its all the same but you get injured quicker.

        I have lived in wet winter places (east cost of Canada, Ontario, Quebec) and I like my dry -50 more.
