11:00 AM Temp: -90 F (-68 C) Conditions: Clear with ice fog Wind: Variable/3 mph Dew Point: -90 F (-68 C) Snow Depth: 242.3" (615 cm) Seasonal snowfall to date: 270.8" (688 cm; +86.6"/+220 cm from normal) Not warming up much today... I get that you want this climate for interest purposes but I’m genuinely wondering what you find so interesting about this. I can understand -90 being interesting, I think that would be an interesting temperature too, but your observations are mind-numblingly boring IMO. So damn repetitive with -50 to -90 every day for the last few weeks. Do you find these extremely cold temperatures so interesting that having them for weeks at a time is still interesting? Maybe we just have different views of what is interesting...I find extreme cold interesting for a few days but then it would get boring—variability is what I need for a climate to be interesting. Not knocking your preferences or anything, I’m just curious. |

Not knocking your preferences or anything, I’m just curious. To be honest, this is quite rare in this climate to have such a prolonged cold snap. Usually it's swinging between moderate cold and extreme cold but this cold snap is kind of unprecedented, I would probably get bored of this myself if I lived in my climate. A lot of this is also fueled because I'm starved of cold weather, so I'm adding some personal bias here. I also made the record highs in winter a lot higher (DJF record highs were 31 F, 22 F, and 34 F previously, now they're 48 F, 41 F, and 50 F). I do like consistent cold and snow pack. Also, there is big time moderation coming for next week, so there'll be some different observations lol. I get where you're coming from though, it does seem a bit ridiculous. And I had a feeling you'd comment on that eventually lol. I don't really want 60 F in winter though, and would rather winter heat waves to still be below freezing, but very moderate cold. |

Would it even be possible to go outside without a spacesuit in weather like this? According to south pole winter-overs, it's possible to go out without too much equipment but only for very short periods of time. Take a look at these two vids below. The second one addresses how to dress for long-term exposure when its -70C outside: |
