A twenty degree drop is one thing, but look at that wind chill!

If the screen cap isn’t showing up for some reason, we are at -25C/13F right now, with a wind chill of -45C/-49F.
At this point, I’m glad we had the van towed to the garage yesterday, and didn’t have to try and drive it in, this morning!!

I hate those types of cold temps. Things break when it gets that cold.

Hypothermia also likely WITH clothing!! Did you forget to tell us you moved to Siberia?????
TIL: At that temp, C and F are almost equal!

I’m pretty sure it’s warmer in Siberia. Lol
When temps start reaching -50F, it becomes dangerous to breathe too deeply.
I remember reading a story about Mary Pickford filming a movie on location when temperatures hit the -50 range. Everyone was warned not to breathe too deeply while outside. Two of her co-stars found it a joke, went outside and deliberately breathed deeply. One ended up dying, and the other severely damaged his lungs.
I tried to look up the story to confirm my memory of the story, but can’t find it right now.

OMG!!
I can believe it. My one and only acute asthma attack was triggered by running outside to move a plant during sudden hail. Then the asthma attack was compounded by a panic attack over having a severe asthma attack!

You’re freezing and I’m in the hottest temps in the US. It was in the mid 80sF today. It’s 10pm and my doors & windows are open and I’m on top of my bed cause it’s too warm for covers. My phone says it’s currently 63F.
