Weather.com says it's supposed to be -36 tonight or tomorrow night (can't remember which) in Fargo.A few years ago I was in -40 one morning in Quebec.I don't remember it be very windy so there probably wasn't much "wind chill" but as I was checking out the big TV in the lobby showed that it was -40C...which,as it turns out,is also -40F.

I wanna tell ya...-40 is pretty damn cold....even with no wind.

An old friend of mine ran a logging outfit in the bush out in western Canada. I never knew this until he explained the business to me, but they would leave their heavy equipment out in the cutting zone for weeks at a time instead of lugging it all back to town every day.

"You have no idea what cold is," he once told me, "until you've had to do an oil change in one of these things when it's -40 outside."
