You can drop the C from the title. When its -45 it doesn't matter (C or F). -45 sucks as much in Canada as it does in the US. 😛

You don't lose most of the heat out of your head. That's a myth and a quote of a study under the following circumstances.

If you are totally bundled up, and your head *isn't* covered, almost all the heat you do lose comes out of your unbundled head.... Duh.

If you're naked, no.

One would think someone who lives in that type of climate would actually know that.

In fact, they are almost the same thing. -45C is -49F.

-40C = -40F.

I was just thinking about that. I was like, wait... isn't that the one value that is the same in both systems?

Though it is technically -40º. 😉

-40, -45, don't really matter how it's measured - that's miserable no matter what language you speak.

edit: I see D1gger beat me to it.

Your body will restrict blood flow to every part of your body except your head to keep the head warm. No gloves and hands freeze. No head covering, and as long as the rest of you is covered and you are generating heat, most of head, as in brain is kept warm, not so much stuff like ears and noses.

Indeed people who live in the cold should know to manage it, but people unused to the extreme cold may have the false notion that they can get away without something on there head because they have in the past in warmer areas.

-40C is fun. I've done the boiling water trick too, it totally works. We don't see -40C that much anymore though.

Honestly, anything after -25 all feels the same. If there's no wind I'll actually take -40C over -10 with wind. Or worse, damp -1 with wind. It just goes right through you.

-45 sucks more in canada than it does in the US, but not by much.


FWIW the all-time high score was -63C (-82F) at a military airstrip in BFE, Yukon.


>Staff at the station made note of various phenomena, particularly sound such as voices being heard clearly miles from their source.

weird.


We're sitting at a balmy -30 right now, with -40 windchill. god forsaken place.

lol, we had our first big snow yesterday. It's 70º warmer here than that place. Fookin' crazy.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Not even wearing a coat. I get bundled up at about 45 above zero.

Verry official citations there of your "study"
