Its cold I agree but hasn’t shut me down, I’ve seen colder, I rescued a family at 2am on a dark stretch of highway north of Wasilla, Alaska several years ago, it was -47.
It has been on average -30 for a week now, kids still go to school, life goes on as usual, we are Alaskans.
Except some parts of Anchorage.
I can’t imagine -47 degrees. Brrr.
Here in IL this winter, we’ve had it get down to -10 with a -30 windchill, and that’s more than cold enough for me.
It's tough waxing skis for sub zero temperatures. I used to have some luck with Jack Rabbit Wax when it got to -30 or colder, but you had to rewax every few miles. Of course that was back when wooden cross country skis with pine tar applied to the base was very common. Now everyone wants to skate on their skis.
