going to die simply by stepping outside

About 20 years, ago I worked on a pipeline job that ran a 12" line from Norman Wells N.W.T. to the Alberta border. That was without a doubt the coldest situation I ever been in. The location was North of the treeline, there was absolutely no shelter from the gusting winds.

It was so cold you didn't dare to even think about going for a piss, needless to say, after that experience, I went back to school. :)

With all the talk of energy, trade and the environment, it looks to me we will be revisiting the North once again. More pipelines, more pipe? I'm sure Tommaso is well positioned.
