Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Based on the sub-zero temperatures caused by the Polar Vortex, northerners are experiencing the effects on everyday items. This bowl of noodles with fork appear magical. The water in this toilet froze causing the porcelain tank itself to explode. And something as simple as a water bubble freezes in less than 30 seconds.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ya got me beat Jabez. The coldest I've had it was -60, surprisingly, at CFB Cold Lake. Father, that ice bubble forming is pretty! Thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think the coldest I experienced was -40 in Chicago back in ‘79. Actually that was wind chill with -10 or -20, I believe. Regardless, it was dang cold. In Biddeford Maine in Feb of ‘89 I got to experience bitter cold with Atlantic winds. Spit froze before it hit the ground. I don’t recall the temperature. I believe the little REI thermometer I had attached to my backpack said there wasn’t any temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I can't show the effect of 98.6 F. liquid flying through the air at -30 or -40 wind chill! But you can hear it crackle as it freezes in mid-air! "Thirty, thirty and thirty! Thirty-below with a 30 knot (or is it 30 mph) wind, exposed flesh will freeze in 30 seconds!" It definitely pays to get your business done in a hurry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I left my iPad in a vehicle onecold night. When I tried to use it in the morning I got a message something like “overheated, give it time to cool off.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 -50F is the coldest that I experienced and that was at RCAF Stn Val d'Or, Quebec back in the early 60's. Lived in Edmonton, Alberta when it was -50F in the Saskatchewan River valley however, we lived up top where it would hit -40F max due to the heat of the buildings and vehicle exhaust.
