Wow! That is cold for sure!
-50C=-58F. That is cold. I wonder what the wind chill is?
And here I was thinking this was going to be a Mobil 1 0W-20 plug.
This morning, it was the coolest it's been this winter season. About 25F ambient. I opened the trunk of the car and shook around the M1 0w-20 I have in the trunk ... it's surprisingly thin!
I should throw a quart of 15w40 in the back to see how thick it is at these temps!

I prefer to think of it as "Global Instability". In summer, Tstorms are the result (partially) of instability in the atmosphere. It could be that all the highs, lows, and funky weather are indications of instability brought on by higher global temps. No science to back it up, just a theory....

I don't question whether global warming (or 'instability') is real as I question whether its unnatural or not.
We are putting a lot of carbon into the air... you'd think that has to do something. But will it be harmful, or will it dull the effect of the next minor ice age?

Boiling water into really cold air is pretty cool.

There have been a few times where I needed to start a car at below -30 F. This was back in the 1980's. I hope I never have to do that again. It's not pretty.
-50C is cold.

Thank you! Someone who approaches the weather changes with some sensibility. "Global warming" is real. Fact. In nature, there is something called natural global warming. What is controversial is whether or not we are experiencing accelerated global warming due to increased pollution due to human manufacturing.

You are absolutely correct "Global Warming" could have been effectively called "Global Cooling" as well, it isn't exactly about global temperature per se, instead it's more about what the change in temperature (increase and decrease) has on weather patterns. All I know is that most definitely summers are getting hotter and winters are getting colder.

Try it on a modern fuel injected car! A few winters ago, we had probably a stretch going on 2 weeks where it was -20 every night and -30 a few nights.
The crank SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW but always fire up!
The power steering pumps groan and whine horrible. And if you have a manual trans, let the clutch out slowly in neutral ... otherwise it'll stall.

In other news, man in 12th floor apartment scalded by upstairs neighbor...
Seriously, that's pretty nutty to see how quickly it turned solid.

I think you are wrong. -50C is -68F. (either way, that is cold).

Pretty cold, they are in the middle of a huge piece of land there. Remember in the States there is not one place where within 30 hours one could drive to the ocean, assuming paved roads.
