I'm in Loreto now and it's 35c in the shade. Ice cubes are melting fast.

One thing I liked about -40 in the north is that you don't need to figure out if it is F or C. That is where the two scales cross!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

-40°c and -40°f are also significant because that's a temperature where many machines just don't want to function well. Even whiskey has hardened
up. Not to mention #2 diesel.

The coldest actual temperature I ever had to work in was -56 degrees F ! We were building scaffold with weather protection for pipe fitters to change
out a valve, and could not use forklifts, hydraulic jacks or anything else that needed lubrication.
Claw hammers, pry bars, and any nails that got bent over broke! We were right next to a heated building, so we would work for 15 minutes or so and
then warm up for a half hour.
Ski goggles replaced safety glasses, and multiple layers of everything was the uniform of the day.
That was one expensive scaffold!
P.S. The pipefitters never set foot on the scaffold until it was wrapped in tarps and had heat pouring into it for a few hours.
