So Glad It's Not This Cold
 |
| Image source: Big Picture I read that it can get as low as -50C in Yakutsk, Russia, and -40C could be a day time high. In the photo above, it's -35C (-31F). A warm November means temperatures not dropping below -25C. I like this excerpt written by Shaun Walker from The Independent:
Starting from the feet and working up, I'm wearing: a pair of cotton socks, with a pair of thermal
socks over them; a pair of ankle-high Gore-Tex boots; a set of thermal long-johns; a pair of jeans; a
thermal undershirt (a present from a worried family member); a long-sleeved T-shirt; a tight-fitting
cashmere jumper; a fleece; a padded winter coat with hood; a thin pair of woollen gloves (so that
when I take the outer pair off to take photographs I won't expose naked flesh); a pair of gloves made
of wool and Thinsulate; a wool scarf; and a woolly football hat.
Lumbering from my hotel room like the Michelin Man, and already breaking into a sweat due to the
hotel's industrial heating system, I decide that I'm ready to face everything Yakutsk has to throw at
me. I stride purposefully out of the hotel door and... well... it really isn't that bad. The small oblong
of my face that is naked to the elements definitely registers the cold air, but on the whole, it feels
fine; pleasant, even. As long as you're dressed right, I think, this isn't too bad.
Within a few minutes, however, the icy weather begins to assert itself forcefully. The first place to
suffer is the exposed skin on my face, which begins to sting, and then experience shooting pains,
before going numb, which is apparently dangerous, because it means blood flow to the skin has
stopped. Then the cold penetrates the double layer of gloves and sets to work on chilling my
fingers.
The woolly hat and padded hood are no match for minus 43C either, and my ears begin to sting.
Next to succumb are the legs. Finally, I find myself with severe pain all across my body and have to
return indoors. I look at my watch. I have been outside for 13 minutes.
