So Cold Out, It Hurts To Breathe

Okay, this morning I wanted to get into one of the coldest spots I could find and I did it just down the road from the St. Cloud Minnesota Airport while heading into Minneapolis to shoot some early morning cold weather footage.   When I got out to experience the -36F temps, it was a shock to the system and hurt to breathe the air since it was so cold if you were not expecting it.

This is NOT the wind chill but the actual air temp.  Factor in the wind chill and it was well past -41F or the break even point when -41F is about the same as -41C. 

Yeah, someone find me someone talking about Global Warming and how green house gas is bad…  I had to let my truck warm up for about a half an hour this morning just to be able to survive.  The news radio was reporting 2 dead this week from the cold in St. Paul.  Funny, I can’t remember anyone dead in Minnesota from Record Heat. 

Yes this cold is getting annoying and it may climb up into the normal temp range by Monday before the next big deep freeze hits but hey at least some man eating polar bear can walk around on the ice in the dark up north this time of year.
