It did warm up to -29C during the day, though!
They're welcome to that!

I don't think many people in the UK could comprehend how cold -41c is. It is dangerously cold. Takes your breath away, literally.
I have been in refrigeration all my working life and have had brief spells working in -40c blast freezers. Ten minutes was the maximum at any one time. The worst bit was your tools (usually metal) also get down to those temperatures pretty rapidly. Then there is a danger of them sticking to your skin.
We complain about it being 4 to 5c for a couple of weeks here. We have it easy.
We certainly don't want our tools freezing.

Yep, drove an artic for many years doing frozen distribution on behalf on Brake Bros at -25. It's a tad chilly but lovely on a hot summers day
Here in Texas the past few days have been in the teens and low 20s, with low temps 8n the to 8 degree range, with wind chills in tje minus numbers. I think the birds were ice skating on the bird bath this morning...Stop moaning. I saw a post on another forum from someone in Canada yesterday.....-41C there last night!

I've been skiing in -32ºc in both Jasper and Bannf.
The skiing was great...but the walking around town with eye-lashes sticking together and contact lenses freezing was not as much fun.
