Being outside kinda sucks alright! We have winds gusting to 70 kph right now. Skin freezes in under a minute. Definitely not good to be outside... Turn the furnace up!  :D

Mike, acords, if you guys are trying to make me feel better about my weather, it ain't working. If it's under 30, it might as well be be -30, unless somebody decides to move the railroad indoors. Seriously, I do feel for you guys. We've had some -10s plus wind chills in the last few years, and I was thinking about a career change. You guys don't take any chances, try to stay inside as much as possible. And remember La Quinta turning on her fireplace at 50+ degrees :D.

I remember some -20 deg below with several extra while going to electronics school in the Navy at Great Mistakes Ill.  A 6 pack of beer on the window ledge only took about 5-10 minutes to start to freeze little ice crystals inside.   Might tasty cold I might add.  I don't know that you could even put a bottle of beer out in that cold, Mike, without it shattering and instantly turning into a beer cycle.  I wouldn't be tempted to stick my tongue on it either.   8)

I think that must be why I drink whiskey. It doesn't freeze!  ;)

 :o -63?  That is not cold - that is a nightmare come true!  I bet if you set that whiskey outside for a couple of hours you might be surprised with at least a good tasting popcycle.  ;D
