[Warmist visits Arctic; discovers that it's tremendously freakin' cold up there]

I was nervous about the fieldwork and how I would cope in the cold temperatures (averaging around -30 to -35 °C at this time of year)
...
The night we stayed out the temperature was around -37 °C and despite three sleeping bags, a couple of sleeping mats and going to bed in thermals and fleeces it still felt cold. In the morning we woke to find ice around our faces on the sleeping bag and on the inside of the tent roof – moisture from our breathing had frozen in the cold temperatures!  [If you've ever actually spent some time in a tent in seriously cold weather, this should *not* be a surprise.]
...The skidoo like many mechanical and digital systems did not like the extreme cold and broke down and it chose to do so on the day a storm developed whilst we were at the sample site. We ended up having to return to camp during the storm on foot. The temperature at the ice base had been around -25 to -40 °C for our first week in camp but the night of the storm, with winds gusting up to 60 mph, temperatures that night reached below -60 °C with wind chill.

Update: Cloud Forcing Paper Finally Accepted to JGR « Roy Spencer, Ph. D.
