The winter thread

For legs one layer thermal pants, plus my regular pants. For 2 legs, it was only 2 layers while it was 7 layers of clothes for top body.

For feet, 2 pairs of socks.


Top body needs a lot more clothing than other parts of the body at extreme cold.

 

Some photos I took this January during my stay in Northeastern Turkey

 

Actually they are beautiful pics.

 

Lovely pics mate.
It's currently pouring down rain here.

 

the snow on the ground says otherwise.

fucking fuck.

 

It's also Spring here in Ballarat. But it's winter weather. Supposed to get to 11*C today. Beanie weather. Snow above 700m as well.

 

Speak for yourself. I'm already measuring temps as low as -11 C (12.2 Fah). And it's only early November. Me thinks the next 5 or so months will be really miserable this time around...

 

The high was 27.3°C here today.

 

Temperature in Eastern Turkey dropped to -20.5°C in Early November already.

The city, where I normally live in, could drop to +7.7°C only.

 

26 degrees Celsius here and muggy. Supposed to be a thunderstorm here soon. I'm a little nervous as it's not even summer yet and bloody warm!

 

looks like winter is here, its snowing ( calling for 15-20cm)and the mercury is headed for -20ish by tomorrow night.

I'll be able to take my kids sledding tomorrow morning. its been a mild fall this year

 

In January, I plan to go to Northeastern Turkey again for the extreme cold.

I miss -30°C very much. I wanna feel the cold in my bones once again. Thats wonderful. Cold is wonderful.

 

get plenty that cold where i live...should try keeping a fleet of heavy deisel trucks running when it been -40 for a month straight. keeps you on your toes.

worst ive seen is -57C, with windchills pushing -80. I used to work mine sites in northern canada, would fly in, work a month, fly out. I prefer to work closer to home these days though.

 

Rug up and stay warm mate.

 

Coldest weather yet this year, coming next week.

Another Arctic Surge to Deliver Record Mid-November Cold Next Week to the Plains, Midwest, South and East

A powerful arctic cold front early next week will deliver the coldest air of the season to the central, southern and eastern U.S., shattering dozens of mid-November records in the process.

Of course it has already turned sharply colder over much of the Midwest, South and East from what has been a parade of arctic cold plunges, pushed south from Canada by a southward plunging jet stream.


The coldest spots in the northern Rockies, Northern Plains and upper Midwest dipped below zero earlier in the week. A few locations in northern Montana plunged to the teens below zero Thursday morning.

 

-57°C with windchill of -80°C, really?

That seems fatal.

 

I myself want to have minus 3X numbers in winter. That'd be ideal extreme winter weather for me. I wouldnt wanna have minus 4X, 5X numbers. That is so subarctic.

And average night temp being around -20°C is just perfect in January.


I go to Northeastern Turkey in winter for cold weather. I did 2 winters and I will go again this winter.

 

I live in California. Winters here are mild. Every once in awhile we will get frost on our windshields where I live. On such days, I walk out to my car around 6 AM to go to the gym, see there is frost everywhere, and realize I will have to go back inside and get something to scrape off the dreadful stuff! lol

Aside from occasional frost, it doesn't snow and we don't usually get much rain either. I honestly don't know how the ski resorts stay in business. I take that back. They obviously manufacture their snow...

Winters are nice because you get to wear that sweater in your closet that is too warm for any other time of year. Autumn is also a little chilly in the early morning and evening where I live. We're less than 10 miles from the coast, so our temperature stays reasonably mild throughout the year. Cloud cover at night traps the heat of day sometimes. It's a really neat place to live! It's hard not to take it for granted. I am always grateful though whenever I see terrible storms hitting the east coast, hurricanes in Florida or anywhere in the southeast, and blizzards wherever they may be. We do get earthquakes though. And that's been happening in Ventura recently; a neighboring city near enough to shake us a little.

 

verry much so, any exposed skin skin can freeze in seconds. shut the whole mine down, to dangerous to work. was a short lived storm, warmed back up to 40 below after a couple days and back to work as normal.
