i see land, nice big garage barn and looks like your neighbors aint right on top of ya, and I like that.....maybe worth the cold for that......Call us weird, but - while our home is still in CA - we are now spending our 2nd winter in WY in the snow.
One of the advantages being that nobody cares about me running around with larger fixed blades and automatics - perfect in the snow

On the down-side, I have to use my iPhone for knife photos.
Good God.This screenshot says it all this morning except that a -51°C windchill converts to -59.8°F....

I've got the thermostat set to 74°. Toasty warm in here. Our two vehicles are parked in the attached garage where I've got a 30 amp heater set to keep the space around 40°. Life is easier with this arrangement. Back when I was young & foolish, scraping ice and boosting dead batteries was the norm.
Things work, but complain about it. My van sounded like it was going to seize an axle yesterday. Our vent stacks iced over so I had to go up on the roof after work and pour hot water down them. Coming home to sewer smell is unpleasant but just another thing to expect when it's this cold.Good God.
I work outside everyday, usually at elevations, and I'm used to the cold.
But we don't work at minus 20 degrees.
The temps are one thing, it's the wind that will kick your butt.
I don't think anything would work at those temps.
At least the UV index is low
This is so true^^^
We have similar weather conditions as you and waiting for the snow to start. 4-8 inches by this time tomorrow. I like the look of your Slim Pro handle. Did it turn colors naturally or did you treat it somehow?
If you don't mind the question, where do live? Northern Canada??Things work, but complain about it. My van sounded like it was going to seize an axle yesterday. Our vent stacks iced over so I had to go up on the roof after work and pour hot water down them. Coming home to sewer smell is unpleasant but just another thing to expect when it's this cold.
Yep, -50 in the wind is where I draw the line. Up here, school buses won't go out at -35 due to the danger of a breakdown.
No chance of a sunburn today.
Southern Prairies. It's actually colder here than the North at the moment. Weird, I know but that whole Polar Vortex is to blame.
they should rename it...... frostbite in minutes Prairies.
Or FIMP for short...
funny, reminds me of a term...... got a distant family member by marriage from/in Michigan he calls big city people from Illinois and Indiana "fip"'s..
Yes the "fip" and "fibs"(wisconsin term only for those from Illinois) come in, buy the prime property, drive costs up and disrupt the quiet areas. Very similar to "snowbirds" in south florida this time of year
So what you're saying is that you'd rather we didn't contribute one billion AMERICAN dollars to your economy like we did in Arizona back in 2019? (source: USAToday, Nov. 2, 2021)
I'll be packin' the 110 Slim Pro for that adventure.
