Yeah.  Last night it was only -30 C with a 20 km wind, night before was calm
but at a little chillier than -40.  Hardly cold at all... This morning was
up to -20, practically a heat wave.  Been to -52 years back, now that was a
little cold, but there was no wind, so it was okay.  Being outside with
every bit of outdoor clothing on I owned was like walking around at -30
naked except for a breadbag. NOT hilarious. Only thing warm was my head, as
I was wearing a big fur siberian hat.  WVO doesn't flow very well at those
temps, nyet? Neither does diesel unless you run a gallon of kerosene per
tank, and ours is blended to flow at -40. fun. Plugged in diesel has yet to
fail to start.
