ok seems us Canadians are not the only ones that like to whine about the weather
So here is you change to tell us you coldest and warmest stories.
Coldest -53C but that was a low as the thermometer went, and without Wind-chill. As young lad , working on the rigs I was up in the Yukon one winter. We had actually blown the rig motor and had a new one was flown in. Imagine working for 20 minutes at a time (then warming up for 20) , trying to install a motor , dressed with gear like a deep sea scuba diver ! A 36" Pipe wrench is workable - however the smaller tools it was like trying to pick up a penny with your elbows! It was shortly after this a career chance was made for me
Warmest +43 C - I was in Las Vegas (no humidity) with a very stiff breeze. Anyone who has been there knows all the Casino’s are kept fairly dark and roughly a constant 18C or so. Walking outside it was like a blow dryer on high about 2 cm from your face! I find that worse than -53C actually as in the cold you can always get warmer - however even in Vegas they frown on stripping naked outside in public (most places!)
Edit: What prompted this thread ? -34 today with only a slight breeze ''feels like -40ish !" Weather Winners nice title dooooooooooooooooooooh !
