I suppose you don't know what the heck you're talking about. I've traveled extensively in the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic , where sub 70 temperature and 50 mph wind gusts is not uncommon.

Actually he supposedly has. He has claimed to have travelled to Yakutsk, Russia, purely for the purpose of experiencing the weather. He also apparently asked a number of people what they thought of the cold, obtained a few positive responses to the -40 or whatever temps, then used that small sample size to pass it off as the opinion of 90% of the global population.

Some members have asked him numerous times where he lives, but each time has avoided the question. Clearly, a task such as jotting down the name of a city or town is rocket science for some people.

Yes, it was a compliment.
I'm both surprised, slightly confused and in awe of Kaul's weather-hardiness,
though comments like this reminded me that I'm frequently, equally unimpressed with his social-intelligence.

Actually I do,
but I have needed to wear glasses anyways since I was 13.
Wearing sunglasses feels about the same as regular glasses,
so I often forget that I'm even wearing sunglasses.
There is almost-zero facial discomfort for me.

The only downside to needing sunglasses and regular glasses is when you need to switch while driving,
especially if the weather alternates from "dark & stormy" to "bright & sunny" every 30 minutes.

I'm reopening this thread, after cleaning most of it up; if it gets off-topic again it will be closed permanently.

A B from me. I like the temperatures, although I imagine eventually I'd desire a little warmer temps in summer (like mid to high 60s maybe). I also enjoy cloudy weather, but I think I'd get tired of it if sun is as rare as it sounds in Cold Bay.

I would hate that climate! Almost no chance of any warmth outside in any part of the year!
