We also routinely experienced Stage 1&2 of frostbite. The defrosting in a bucket of hot water is an experience that teaches one to watch for symptoms best :) | |
| Dec 26, 2017 at 16:25 | comment | added | ShemSeger | I used to enjoy it more than I do now, I spent a lot of time outside at -35°C when I was a kid, slept outside at -30°C for the first time when I was 13, and I've never been frostbit; never stage 3 frostbit I should say, I've probably been stage 1 and 2 a bunch of times. We used to play games in school when it was too cold to go outside for recess. We'd see who could run to the furthest point outside the classroom door running barefoot in the snow. You got bragging rights if you did it without a shirt on. | |

Yes, it was a slight over-exaggeration (those few hours).Unfortunately, even though I grew up in a place where -20 C was common, and -27 C every other week for a night or two, I never really had a chance to be exposed to -35 C, so I don't really know, but it does seem absurd to me that 5-10 degrees could make such a difference - hence my question. Hell, I once spent a December in Finland right below polar circle, but they got hit by a heat wave and it never went below -25 C while I was there. Real cold is hard to come by. | |

You are used to the cold and will be wearing hat and gloves (I hope). You think you might be over reacting a bit? Pieces of your face are not going to fall out without warning. | |
| Dec 26, 2017 at 5:00 | comment | added | 3D Coder | @ShemSeger : I am actually very happy about the cold, as I very much enjoy below -20 C temperatures (for few hours, that is). There's something magical that happens around -25 'C and shoots a dose of endorphins into the system. And my Husky is going absolutely bonkers now(hence why I let her play by the river bank, risking falling to the river). Just don't want to come home and find out pieces of my face will start falling off in few hours, as they froze : ) | |
