After fifty years or so, I still remember the feeling of -25F, -50F and one day with the wind chill factor -80F up by Mt. McKinley :>)
I walked outside and stood with my t-shirt on when it hit -80F, showing off to my buddies standing inside by the door, looking out at me. They wiped the smirk off my face by slamming the door shut and locking me out (fortunately it was only for a minute or so)
That is cold. That was one of the issues out in Bethel, AK, wind, and cold like that. It is something you never forget. Like the first time you toss that cup of of hot coffee content up in the air and watch it rain back down as freeze dried coffee. These blocking High Pressure system in the Y-K Delta first happened in I think it was 1988 or 89. Barometric pressure over 31.50, (89). Here is an archive story. It sucked that entire Month of Feb, back then. Sky-high barometric pressure prompts deadly FAA warning
It really was an awful Feb back then. Several villages ran out of fuel, because the FAA would not let planes fly unless they had special equipment on board.
Yes...One does not forget a chill like that; especially when having one friend die from frozen respiratory passageway and another get three fingers frostbitten to the bone from passing out drunk along side the road.
