Working in the cold is much nicer than most would think. Dress properly with layers. If your working up a sweat, pull a layer off. Something you can't do in the heat. Back in the old days I would go to work with a pair of shorts, hardhat and boots to help beat the heat. Nowadays with all the safety rules. Fire proof coveralls are the norm and are hot as hell in the summer. Give me 30 below over 90F any day. How you eat also helps you stay warm. That nice piece of fat most trim from their steak or pork chop and leave on their plate. That is high energy food that that keeps you warm in the cold. Eskimo's don't chew blubber for fun.

Chainsaw work same way. Colder the better. End up with a t-shirt and 20F with wind. Still burning up. I understand. Not summertime activity.
Work that involves a lot of less physical motion would concern me in that cold weather.
Hearty bunch

Now eating the rich fat off a steak would be heavenly, guess your metabolism burns it off.
Eskimos a good example of dealing with the cold.

Me and wife watch the Alaska State Patrol program. We are mesmerized at the way people talk to law enforcement up that way.
Redneck sheriff down this way would retaliate in many forms and fashions, engineer a way to lock your butt up. Smart mouth a bad approach lol.
sure is some cold living

Heat is a beast. Body acclimates to so many environments, amazing.

Definitely on the bucket list to see this in real life. Incredible pics, thanks for sharing!

As with working on the rigs and Roust A Bouting,I liked the colder weather too,over the hot weather!! My body doesn't do good in hot weather anymore,had heat exhaustion one to many times...

Yes James,my aches and pains were earned and it wasn't from sitting on a couch....LMAO

Ditto that!!!  ...and watch them while traveling down the Alcan!!!!!!!

Cold weather and very little physical work. You just described my job. Thawing anything is a slow process. When I'm thawing flowlines, sometimes it takes me 1/2 hour to move 150 feet. Have to get the pipes hot enough so they don't freeze before I get to the other end. I do have some tricks to keep warm. When I'm feeling cold I will loop my steam hose over my shoulders to keep my upper core warm. I also have extra boot liners to change out when they get wet. Your feet will sweat about a litre in a day. Dry warm feet equals a happy day.

Great northern lite pictures. Will have to dig some up from when I was in northern BC.

POLLEN CORONAS: It begins with a sneeze. Pollen floating through the air tickles your nose, and your body responds by expelling the allergen. Gesundheit! When the paroxysm subsides, look up at the sky. The same pollen that makes you sneeze can also make beautiful coronas around the sun.Atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley explains the phenonenon: "Coronas are produced when light waves scatter from the outsides of small particles. Tiny droplets of water in clouds make most coronas, but opaque equal-sized pollen grains do even better. They make small but very colorful multi-ringed coronas."

"Unlike water droplets, pollens are non-spherical--and this adds to their magic," he continues. "Many have air sacs to help carry them in the wind. These align the grains to give beautiful elliptical coronas with bright spots.
