sweet... I wonder how it really feels to be so thinly separated from that kind of environment. always found it fascinating.

Nothing but a small blizzard. Our Christmas eve was like that. Actually, probably not that bad.

Looks like they forgot to close the door at one point though, for there to be frost all over like that lol.

That's pretty extreme.

I doubt a small door is able to insulate very well. that room is probably very cold normally.

That could be, especially if it's not a well insulated door. I know we do get some frost inside sometimes on/near doors and windows though not as bad as that video. -40's will do that, -50's even better.

Yes... It's called an arctic entryway. Think of it as similar to a pressure chamber that the astronauts go into when they come back from a space walk to equalize pressure. AEW's allow you to enter the house without directly exposing the interior to the elements.

I've been in condition 1 in Kuparuk. (North Slope Alaska) Interesting...

I wonder if that at McMurdo. probably.
