Ooo, that's cold!
I was once down at minus 70! Very briefly, inside an environmental test chamber. Now that was really cold, in there about 1 minute, frost in my hair.
Do we have any arctic/antarctic explorers, anyone with a claim to even colder? |

Not as impressive but i'm half norwegian and lived there for a year doing my masters - regularly went camping in the mountains, blizzard conditions often into April and altitude, glad J was knackered as otherwise I wouldnt have slept it was that cold.
Not sure what temp was the lowest but I often woke up with frozen condensation in my beard. |

I didn't try to find out how long I might have survived it. It was a work thing, needed an adjustment on some electronics inside this big walk in freezer place. Was supposed to spend a day warming it up, two mins to fix the equipment, a day cooling it down again. And cost thousands in time.
Or I could just put my big coat and gloves on... Got the two min job done in one min and got out of there! |

In the late 70's, I toured Sweden with a Choir & Orchestra in their winter months at a time when they were experiencing an excessively cold snap.
In Stockholm, it was -35 on average. BUT..
Everything worked! No problems with roads, transport including airports. Utilities didn't fail either. |
