Good evening. I happen to still be awake watching the antics on Bourbon St., listening to oldies on the radio, drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette, and now and again playing a video game: Multi-tasking!

>>> who could survive in that cold
I had to google it and found this:
"The use of wind chill is to show the effective temperature at a particular wind speed. For instance in calm conditions at -29°C a well clothed person is in little danger, if we add to this temperature, a light wind of 10mph, this will then give the same effect as a still air temperature of -44°C when exposed flesh can freeze in a minute or so. Increasing the wind to a breeze of 25mph gives an equivalent of -66°C with severe danger to exposed flesh within seconds rather than minutes".
So it's the wind chill temperature (and, of course, the amount and type of clothing worn) that's all-important, rather than just the temperature on a thermometer. Even so, those temperature referred to by Sanmac are ruddy cold! (I've refereed a football match with a wind chill temperature a bit below -20C and I know that an hour and a half outside in those sort of temperatures, especially when wearing football kit rather than thermal clothing, is far from pleasant!).

I'm feeling very naughty at the moment, 'cos I'm drinking wine at around half past five in the morning!
It's possibly not quite as bad as it sounds though: I've just found roughly a glass and a half of claret left in the bottle that I had with my Christmas lunch. On opening it to find out if it was still drinkable, I discovered that it most definitely was - but then, of course, I'd introduced more air into the bottle, meaning that it probably wouldn't keep much longer. So, working on the principle of 'waste not, want not' . . . ;-)
