Well for this Ca smartass it was 82 yesterday when I left Temecula on the Stelvio to have lunch up at the Palomar Observatory and a chilly 59 at the top (5000ft) with slushy and wet roads. Brrr, glad I brought the liner to my ventilated jacket.

The only other place I have been is the western end of Newfoundland where they tie the trains down with chains because of wind.

When you inhale and the hair in your nose cracks, it's cold, trust me I know.
I've slept on the ground with no tent in -30 weather, (US Army) and endured colder than -40 ( Two trips to the Antarctic courtesy of the Coast Guard).
It was nippy some of the time I lived in the Selkirks in Panhandle Idaho with no electric power.
These are some of the reasons I now live in Hawaii. Cause it don't do that here!

Isn't that Antartic duty for a year with a good portion of that in total darkness? Now that would be something to brag about. Me, I spent 2 years in mainland Japan - cushy duty by comparasion.
