How cold is -40?

[Tom Brown]

Here is what it looks like when you toss a pot of boiling water into the air at -40C. This is the SaskPower building, only a few blocks from where I work.

I farted in Toronto on Monday and it looked just like that. Fockin' Canadians just laughed at me. :hammerhea

[mirvin]

That's pretty cool Tom :D What would happen if he dumped it over his head??
Now is that -40 farenhiet or celcius? This is a trick question;)

I can't even imagine being in weather that cold.. and if I was I'd be looking for the fastest way south.

I'd like to save that video but I'm not sure how. I've tried the file save as and right click save as deal and it doesn't work...any suggestions? :)
Worked for me Mike. But it launched in Real Player as opposed to Windows Media Player, perhaps that is the problem?
Oh, and the video was cool, BTW.

I figured it out, did the "save target as" to my desk top then set it up to open with Window Media Player, then I was able to do the "save as" deal. :D
It was originally opening with internet explorer :hammerhea

too darn cold.......

[Kim Hanson]

I have worked in as low as -57 and its what you have to do to get the job done, I work outside also. Inside would be nice looking out at those temps, but you have to be a big boy and suck it up....Albertan Oil Rigger :cool: .........( . )( . )......It isn't so bad once you don't feel toe's or fingers :cool:

[Tom Brown]

I have worked in as low as -57 ...
That would be with windchill, Kim. :cool:
A week ago (when that was shot), we had a few days of -40C with a windchill on top of that. As in... look at the thermometer and it shows -40. :)
Come on up, everybody! :D

[Debbolas]

Gee, and I was complaining about our little rainy drizzley day we had today :eek:
Too cold for my blood, Tom, you're going to have to come on out here where it's warm :wink:

[Tom Brown]

It doesn't stay cold like that all the time. We typically have one to three weeks of that sort of weather each year but the average January temperature is about -20C. :cool:
I should add that I have an office job. Kim is way tougher than I am to work in those conditions.

[ratso]

...can you actually get wood when it's that cold???

[Tom Brown]

no

We had a few weeks like that in WI too this year :sqeyes:
I am building condo's by castle rock lake and man was it cold about 3 weeks ago :messedup:
-35 to -40 wind chill's and about -20 temp.
I should try tthe boiling water trick next time looks awesome!
Unfortunatly for me the same thing happened when I had to use the porta potty on the job-site :cry:

[Desert Rat]

Hell I don't think you can find your wood in the weather.... Come out come out where ever you are :jawdrop:
