It's cold. But it's not Condition 1 cold.

We're having HIGH temperatures below zero, and in northern Minnesota the lows are reaching -40 (that's both F and C). It is cold, but it's not "condition 1" (see above).

I watch this video when I need to go out in very cold weather to clear the driveway or rake the roof. I know what's coming at the end, but it still makes me laugh and makes my chores easier to face.

After you've seen the video, stop for just a moment to ponder the experiences endured by Amundsen, Scott, and especially Shackleton and his crew...
