Ya know, I’ve had my eye lids freeze shut running dogteam down the Yukon at minus 65. You bite mitten and with forefinger and thumb break the ice off eyelids so you can open them. Spent 21 years up near Eagle until retiring in Fairbanks. Was still minus 30 at night last week.

You are the real deal.

I am aware that four hours north of Toronto is actually pretty tropical compared to most parts of Canada and some parts of the U.S. However, very few people live in these places. That said, we still have ice fishing going on here.

I remember -80 (F) (with wind chill) in Wyoming.
