old thread:
If anyone need some heat relief you can check out the conditions at the McMurdo station.
I find it hard to believe what the south pole stations says for temp and windchill. That must be a malfunction. Never heard of temps like that
Let's see, the McMurdo station is -8F, and we have been seeing 112-114F the last few days. I will still take the heat over bitter cold!!

Not me. I got a good coat, hat, gloves and boots. I am ready for a walk.

^^^Same. I can deal with the cold WAY better than the heat. It must be my Viking blood. Or something like that.

Remember that it is winter in the southern hemisphere at the moment. The summers at McMurdo are far warmer… like averaging just above freezing. Right balmy by comparison

So it looked warm and sunny out when I left work this morning. Popped the tops on the Jeep, started driving and it didn’t feel warm and sunny. Looked at the temp reading on the dash 52 degrees.
