lew Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 -35F is probably my coldest Shawn and that was enough for me. Couldn't imagine another 100 degrees colder than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Think of the bright side.....we'd never have an argument about safe ice with those temps. The only place you'd find 1.5" of ice would be on your coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I think it was that temp at Quinte out in the boat sitting for hours watching my rod telling myself any min. now. Edited December 10, 2013 by Fish Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 At -35 the handle bars froze off the MWO's moustache . Colder than -40 and your spit freezes in mid air before hitting the ground. You hear it pop. At -50 exposed skin will suffer from frostbite in 2 minutes This was learnt from a week's arctic orientation up on Hudson's Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I was up in White River back in the late 70's apparently it got down to -72°F (I didn't have a thermometer with me) tires were flat on the cars (or nearly) if you could get your car to start the wheels didn't want to turn. That was more than cold enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 HMMMMMMMM, about 5 degrees warmer than it is here right now!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 We used to get -50 when I was a kid in Flin Flon, Manitoba all the time. Still had to walk to school. Nobody closed down, it was business as usual. I used to wrap a thin scarf around my face and the hood of my snowsuit so when I walked I would still see somewhat. Maybe that's why I don't mind ice fishing, it's not really that cold down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets to be 102F and they ask is it a dry heat? The theory of dry heat is you can sweat faster with less resistance so you it feels cooler.

misfish Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 The wind is the killer in the cold,along with dampness. Last Saturday,it was blowing and frigg,n cold. Thought the day was going to be misserable. Once we arrived at our spot. No wind,same temp. No dampness. It was a pleasureable day. Ya,lets get those -20 dry temps here,and there will be no arguments about safe ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Isn't a welding torch dry heat too? Very dry it is scorched air so the humidity is 0. The ability to evaporate is greater the further you are from 100% humidity. See when you exercise you and generate body heat which you bleed off by sweating. A person who is at 50% humidity will have a slick or small beads of sweat while the same person will have sweat all over themselves at 75% humidity. The cooling effect is the evaporation not in the actual sweating. It is possible to be in a high humidity place and have heat stroke.( overdressed in the winter). You also can have heat stroke in a dry place if your body can not cool off by evaporation. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
