The coldest I have ever been in my life (on the misery index) was at Bangor, Maine in the winter of 2012. It was -27F with 7 knots of wind and somehow, what I remember as humidity! I was very busy in the great outdoors wearing a leather bomber jacket and a wool fedora. That's a day I'll not likely forget.45 degrees so I've got that going for me...
We're up to 8. I'll be headed to Georgia in a couple hours. I guess I should pack my shorts!14F, 14, friggin 14.
It ain't gotta be awful cold, temperature-wise, to be DAMNED uncomfortable with a stiff, damp breeze blowing it up yer skirt. We get that a lot here on the coast.The coldest I have ever been in my life (on the misery index) was at Bangor, Maine in the winter of 2012.

Gardermoen Norway in January... a stones throw from the Arctic. Don't remember the exact temps... -30°f sounds familiar. One of our F-111's had an engine decide it was done. No hanger space available. Changed it on the ramp. Normally an 8hr job for 4 men. Took us 3 days. They say you can dress for the cold. And that's true to an extent. There's tasks on an engine change that have you shimmy your way up 'tween the engine and frame to loosen and tighten stuff. You can't fit with a parka on and fiddling with 3/16" nuts and bolts ain't happening with gloves on.The coldest I have ever been in my life (on the misery index) was at Bangor, Maine in the winter of 2012.
