just average rainfall HerbHerbGlaze said:Thats Insane coldest it ever has gotten here was around.. 26-28 F.
So you guys get a lot of rain fall?
block heaters are nice but in that extreme cold the battery takes a beating. I have the Expedition plugged in today & my battery charger hooked up too.......Old Man Time said:For the first time....my chevy wouldnt fire off....it has a block heater and an oil pan heater....but that wasnt enough.
20+ yrs of living in northern MN has taught me much about dressing for the cold. I wear military surplus 'bunny boots' good for -60 temps, I've stood on the ice fishing @ -25F for 3-4 hours at a time wearing these boots. If your feet remain dry & warm then that's more than 1/2 the battle of retaining warmth. Above the feet up I just dress for the occasion, DuoFold longjohns rule for warmth and comfort imo and spending any time outside requires good gloves and head gear for sure, I like a MadBomber style surplus cap I wear over my wool navy watch cap.arcticsun said:by the way, if its really that cold over there. then take it from someone living at 70 degrees north. you should use only wool directly to your skin. socks, longjons, tshirts or sport-tops. use only pure wool products, atleast 80% wool. it just outshines any synthetic product on the market anywhere. also, flexible boot soles, very important. if you get cold feet outside.. put the feet and shoes in a plastic bag hehe.
... or get a plainticket to jamaica

Military surplus is the best cold weather gear imo & functional like a mofo as there's always extra pockets and features built in. Our military is forced to over produce these items because to find ourselves w/o them is inexcusable. Surplus clothing is available year round online through many sources. yeah I can afford nice comfy rain suits for fishing but you gotta know you'll find me dry and warm under the surplus poncho I've had for about 40+(yup, mid 60s) years now. Cheap to own but built to last, it's military grade tough.......
