I feel sorry that you live in such a suck ass cold snowy place.

I just got back from a work camp in North Dakota. 40 miles from Montana,20 miles from Canada. for 2 weeks i got mild weather with an average of -14 bellow and no new snow.
I don't see how you guys work out side in the -35 below shit and snow. not that I was cold I had enough gear on. but all the equipment and other shit kept freezing up. my hats off to you guys . I hope not to go back.

Some work has to be done when its that cold, but for the most part when its subzero you try not to work anymore than you have to, as you learned shit just crystalizes and breaks. This was a very, very mild winter for most of Montana (temp wise)

It's been ridiculously mild all winter up here. Barely any snow and I'm already walking around in a t-shirt and light leather jacket. Friggin' incredible.

I had the misfortune to spend three years in Minot, North Dakota. It was the coldest place ever, I saw a wind chill of 71 below one day. I will never, ever go back there.
