Yep, that's right. C.O.L.D. Woke up this morning, it was -34. With the windchill, felt like -46. What?? It's funny, people who are from around here don't put the "-" or negative, part when talking about it. Just...it's 46 out there...wow. And to convert that to Fahrenheit...well, -40 c is the same as -40 f. So yep, we're talking cold. I am very happy that I do not have to go outside at all, but wow, I feel sorry for the workers that do. When it's this cold outside, however, even INSIDE it's cold. I finally had to go begging to the maintenance guys to throw a log or two on the fire at my end of the building. Can't even guess how cold it was in here, but the thoughts of actually stripping down, getting into the shower, then having to get out all wet was extremely unappealing at 5 a.m. today!
We continue to be extremely busy here, despite the low temperatures. Busier than ever, as a matter of fact. We have about 800 people at a third-party camp right now, more than ever before. I guess long term plans in are place for another camp, as it seems there will be more oil coming from the earth around here.
I hear back home it's warm, above freezing, and rainy. Hard to imagine from here!
