Long term exposure to those temps without the proper gear is a definite hypothermia risk
I always say this but no one ever believes me, the deep cold is not as bad as you think it is
Your first exposure to those type of temps sucks. Like examining your life type sucks, but you acclimate quickly
I’m a North man now. The blood has thickened, so to speak. Anything above 70 is miserably hot to me. I’m sure I’ll acclimate back when we get too old to do this anymore and move south
I was in flannel pajama bottoms and regular house slippers and shirtless when I took that pic of the lights. Went outside to take my old man piss at 2 am. The lights always come out late on cold nights, so I grabbed my phone in case they were out. I was rewarded. I was out at 30 below for about 5 minutes total dressed minimally. It’s cold, but bearable. Not dangerous. It’s feels nice to go back inside and warm the bones by the wood stove then crawling back in bed. Simple pleasures
