not to mention the 50 foot snow driftsInternational Falls Minnesota is the one place that has historic lows. Nearby Baudette had windchills in the minus 50s f. Quoting someone who was there at the time ... "minus 50 is hard on the eyes Chief."

Yeah, it's not uncommon for us to get -20F here in VT, but add the windchill on top of that and it's more like -40F. Last winter there were actually warnings here about -50F windchills, and it was telling people to stay indoors. It was pretty nasty. I'm hoping we won't get that kind of weather this winter.we gots plenty of snow here in indiana
off and on of course, so it's a constant state of slush
lowest so far this winter is about 10F (-somethin C)
Wait till january, it gets to the -25F easy here, probably much lower in vermont
Yep. I've been in weather where when you spit, it crackles in mid air and bounces on the ground. 15mph "light breeze" with -15°F temps makes for seriously deadly weather. We lose several each year, mostly people that get stuck in the ditch and try walking from the car and getting lost, or homeless people thinking alcohol will keep them warm through the night.International Falls Minnesota is the one place that has historic lows.

I used to work with a french guy, for a moving company. we did strenuous work out in the 100°F+ (sometimes up to 110) weather. He sweated profusely, more than I have ever seen another human sweat. liters in a day. He told me that most french people would not be able to do it. He said that one year in france, it got into the high 90s and people started dying. it was a national emergency. people filed into climate controlled stadiums. still not sure if his sweating was due to the climate he was born and raised in, or if it was just him.I can hardly keep a straight face when I hear that a northern city has been declared in a state of emergency due to a heat wave.
What is the climate like in France usually?I used to work with a french guy, for a moving company. we did strenuous work out in the 100°F+ (sometimes up to 110) weather.

Yes, that's if you want to stay under the sun. Sunburns are also a very realistic danger. Suntan lotions can do only so much. Arabs know best about it.a well known trick among the outdoor working types here in this hot nasty climate is to wear plenty of clothes. Seems counterintuitive; when you think of hot weather, you think shirt off, shorts, sandals. all wrong. long sleeves, long pants, cloth on your head/neck, with a hat, cloth around the wrists, gloves; that's the best thing to wear if you're going to be digging ditches in 110F (43C) weather. it keeps your own moisture on your body, as it evaporates slower, enhances the cooling effect of your own sweat. easier to stay hydrated that way, and it also keeps the sun off you.
I love those arab cloth thingys,Yes, that's if you want to stay under the sun. Sunburns are also a very realistic danger. Suntan lotions can do only so much. Arabs know best about it.
