Just remembered - brain freeze.. you don't die immediately.. you die when the bit of brain thaws out or a couple days later due to complications.

This whole subject is starting to make me feel cold.. going to get a nice hot cuppa tea!

Out in a long sleeved t-shirt, nothing else. Coats result instant girlisation and er, I tend to lose them

I've experienced -15 in the Andes before, and that was properly cold. I'd love to be in -60 at some point.
