You have to be very careful. Make sure everything but your eyes are covered in layers. Wear some long johns too. Or you will get frostbite. I saw a bunch of idiot University of Vermont students running around in just hoodies and shorts. The hell is wrong with kids these days?

There is a list and it is a long one. But off topic for a weather thread.
I've been out in -30F for three hours at a time. You are right - snorkel jacket and many layers. Most gloves are only good to about -10F, at that point you switch to mittens so your fingers are together.

I do the ol' gloves with mittens over them. Does the trick pretty well. I have a $550 Spyder jacket that is pretty amazing too. But none the less you still get cold as hell. Best to just stay the hell inside when it dips below -10. If you have to go outside make it as quick as possible.

Sanguine here and 8C to 26C.
That's still way too hot for me. Is it considered a nice day for you after such high temps?
It's -18C here with winds blowing 30k an hour and snowing. With the windchill, it makes it feel equivalent to -30C which is -22F.

You have Opossums yours look like the proverbial rat ugly little things but cute all the same. Our big brushtails are magnificent they are not marsupials just mammals . They eat my apples and plums and live in my spare chimney during the day. They like nothing better than to eat grapes and jam on bread. .
Yours
And ours .
