1.5 here today, but then i'm not that far from Chopsdad in Carlisle


Coldest i got was in -20's in Gemany a few years back, the diesel froze up as we drove along the autobahn
Then the recovery crew set fire to the truck while they were trying to thaw it out

That's a bit drastic - couldn't they just have turned the heaters up a bit  ;D



They did just that ....... moved the space heater to close to the diesel tank and set fire to a rubber/plastic fuel line

-4 Yesterdau but no wind so felt ok - back to -1 today.

Coldest I've been in was -25 on top of a French Glacier last year , -40 when skiing with the windchill!


With the exception of a certain parade ground in the land of horizontal rain and 2" frosts ie HMS Caledonia in Rosyth  ;) the coldest I've witnessed was -45 inc wind chill was Trondheim Fjiord (sp?) in Norway

One of the regulars in my local reckons we're all a bunch of softies - he's a big lad (6' 6") and works outside all the time. He came in the pub the night before last when the temp outside was about 0 degrees and he's wearing shorts!! :o :o
