IIRC, -40 is the same in both the Farenheit and Celcius scales... don't quite remember, it only ever got that cold in PA about ten times

Yep, -40 is the same temperature in both F and C. And if you want to see those temperatures (or colder) every winter, come live in nortern British Columbia, Canada. You gotta love cold weather.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
I've always thought playing Darts in an English pub is pretty dangerous, especially by the end of the night.  |

Re: OT: Tough sport?
No thanks, I think I'll stick with the cold and snow. Not to mention I hate rain. Southern BC gets lots of that.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
snow is nice. you can't make a ball out of rain. although you can't stick snow in a balloon to well either.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
The coldest temperature I have experienced was -43 deg Celsius, when I visited Fort McMurray (in northern Alberta) in January a few years ago. Walking around outside at night, I was numb with cold and I thought I was going to freeze.
