Displaced Canadian and Joe:
We plug in Tracy's rig before bed, she is up and out by 5am and plugs in my rig for my son and I to be ready by the time we leave for preschool. Hers could probably go without by my diesel really hates the cold. All the office buildings and hotels have outlets in the parking lot.
Andrew:
Its been a great winter for us as Displaced Canadian said it more miserable when its above freezing and wet! We got a lot of that last year, ruined the trapping season and I had to do the line in GLACIER CLETS more than once do to ice up. I am sure the sheep and the goats were hit much harder by the icing than this years more normal if a bit mild weather. The wind has been dead flat all week, but that going to change! The peaks were "smoking" this evening so the winds are coming, hoping to chase some critters a bit before they start ripping off the glacier.
Ben:
I hunt and trap a bit out that way......nights are brutal!
Turff49:
Clear is the military cold climate research area.......BRUTAL by design! Some really cool tech including a heavy sniper rifle developed there!
Tex:
90% of the time I am in whatever I am wearing around the house plus a Heavy flannel down well below zero, the right hat makes a huge difference but 95% of it is being used to the cold. You eat a bit diferent in the winter too and that makes a HUGE difference. I can't speak for others but I never really do seem to adapt to heat, but cold isn't a big deal.
