I spent alot of time in Chicago the past 12 years. It wasn't even close to the temperatures of North Dakota. Not to say there weren't some cold days. I like Chicago alot. Great people and lots to do.

In reality, it was not merely colder than fifty below zero; it was colder than sixty below, than seventy below. It was seventy-five below zero.

Jack London had some quirks but he was one hell of a writer. This story is one of my favorites. Burning Daylight is another.

I've been out in -40 F. When I was trapping the temperature sometimes dropped to -20 F. I had no trouble building a fire, but I couldn't eat my frozen apple and orange. It is damn uncomfortable, especially when you get fur and have to take your gloves off to reset the trap. I used Korean War surplus mittens and they were fantastic. I'd rather have it cold than snowing. Every inch of fresh snow makes it harder to move.
