  2. Okay, don't know who this person is, but that is significantly beyond my range of temperatures for riding a bicycle...

    "...BBC presenter Louise Minchin has been taken to hospital after contracting frostbite during an Arctic adventure challenge.

    The 57-year-old had been attempting to cycle 300 miles (483km) in three days in Canada's Northwest Territories to raise money for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award....

    March average temperatures in the Northwestern Territories range from -13C to -23C (8.6 to -9.4F) - but the region was particularly cold on Friday, dropping to -30C in places.

    Wind chills were as cold as -36C, which can cause frostbite to set in in as little as 10 minutes. Extremities such as fingers and toes are particularly vulnerable...."

  3. Just saw a Brit on BBC news reporting from the National Mall with bright red ears, he’s shivering and stomping his feet. Why would they send someone who doesn’t know how to dress in the winter? I hope someone at least suggests purchasing a hat to the poor guy.

  10. Happy #Monday afternoon from the #Northland!

    The #arctic #cold is upon us, and any #wind will keep #frostbite concerns ongoing through Tuesday morning.

    At least we have some #sunshine to help us out.

  11. The biggest #weather concern for the #Northland Sunday night and Monday morning will be the below zero #temperatures and strong #wind #gusts. It will feel at times -30° to -40°, making #frostbite a big concern.

    #Snow #showers are slowly winding down, but still a #travel risk for the South Shore tonight.

    Glad that windchill let off, now I can go shovel :)

  17. With Arctic air moving in, it’s important to recognize signs of frostbite and hypothermia — two serious cold-weather emergencies. Know the symptoms and what to do if they occur.

  18. To me, Vince Zampella is like "The Fixer" of Electronic Arts.

    Everything he puts his hands on becomes great. He understands the purpose of his projects and what makes them good.

  19. Ah, yes, the riveting tale of a rusty bus taking its final lap around the ice block, because apparently nothing says #adventure like freezing your toes off in a clunky metal box. 🚍❄️ Meanwhile, Atlas Obscura distracts us with overpriced jaunts to places with actual warmth and stories, because who wouldn't want to pay extra for #frostbite memories? 🌴💸

  20. EXTREME COLD ALERT:

    For the first time since they changed the name from #WindChill #Warning, nearly all of the #Northland is under a #Extreme #Cold Warning from Saturday night through Tuesday morning.

    Wind chills as cold as 45-below are possible. #Frostbite can form in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin, plus the increase risk for #hypothermia if you are outside with improper clothing.

    Please take it safe out there!

  21. Woke up in middle of the night with dull pain in the toes.
    Fingers, nose and ears also icy.
    Probably just blood circulation to the extremities being restricted to preserve warmth at the core.
    Pulled on some thick socks & extra blanket, rubbing hands to restore some circulation.
    Annoying, but probably not Raynaud's phenomenon...yet.
    Maybe 14℃ room temp. before turning on heating was a tad too stoic😓

  22. #DeadSpace2 being “on hold” it’s really disheartening. The first remake was good, even if sales were below EA expectations.

    Given how #EAMotive is now busy with #Battlefield and the new #IronMan game, it highly doubt the sequel will come soon. Plus, no new studio would want to work with #Frostbite.

    I still think it would have got better sales if it was released just before Halloween, but instead it slipped to January.

    > Fans were bitterly dissapointed with Adam's death in volume 6, because him and Weiss never had even a brief moment to speak with each other.

    确实!

  24. Recognizing and treating frostbite (from the Cleveland Clinic)

    What are the stages of frostbite?

    Frostbite symptoms appear in three stages that include feeling:

    Cold, sore and painful (frostnip).
    Pins and needles (surface frostbite).
    Numbness (deep frostbite).

    If you notice any of the symptoms of the second or third stages of frostbite, get immediate medical treatment to prevent long-lasting damage.

  30. How #cold did it feel like in the #Northland Sunday morning? It ranged from -20° to -39°.

    Similar #wind #chills are likely Sunday night, Monday, and Tuesday morning.

    #Frostbite can form in as little as 15 minutes, so be safe when outside and bundle up!

  31. Wow look at that about half empty stadium in KC. Well it's smart for fan safety. Alcohol and subzero temps can be deadly

    But it's just wrong that they're letting players out with bare arms- on either team #NFL #frostbite

  32. Wind chill to -60F in South Dakota today. (!) Frostbite in as little as 5 minutes. (!) #wind #SDwx #frostbite #ArcticBlast

  33. Environment Canada weather warning for my part of the prairies:

    > A multi-day episode of very cold wind chills is expected.
    >
    > Coldest wind chills: -50 to -40.
    >
    > Time span: Thursday morning through to Monday morning.

    Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
