bout a week and a half ago we had a really nasty cold streak. well, I've found out that during that week we were the second coldest inhabited place on earth behind siberia.
temps got as low as -59 degrees celcius (-74.2 degrees Fahrenheit) with windchill (with it being about -50C before windchill).
So yeah......no riding.
Being outside was like experiencing the personification of Death as a city. Everything is terribly and dreadfully silent. You feel like youre the last person left alive in the world. The only sound you hear is the wind poking and prodding, and trying to seek out any life left in those frozen deathlands. Oh, and nothing works.....metals and machinery are at the brink of operating capacity due to the cold.
If you weren't surrounded by amenities and the great people of this city who know how to handle a winter, you can just imagine how truly frakked you would be. You develop a sense of how bitter a struggle the first settlers would have had here trying to survive through the long winters. They didn't have the thousands of years of practice the natives did. Even those natives when they first came across the frozen land-bridge linking Asia to North America would have had millenia of experience dealing with this sort of thing.
But all that being as it may.........I need to get the M. Frak out of this city!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so bad I can smell it inside the house, and the mountains 5 miles away are not visible...
