I'm not much of a seflie person but I took this Monday morning around 3am while doing overhaul for a house fire at 3 degrees. All of us were covered head to toe in ice, gloves frozen solid to the point you couldn't grab anything. Check out the ice on my helmet and collar. One of the most difficult ones I've worked in my time on the department.

I don’t know how you guys manage, the coldest weather I’ve ever been in is about +22°f and that was bad enough.
It was about 110° at my outback hunting property yesterday and it did once get to around 134°f when I was there about 20 years ago.

I had one MANY years back before we had drying racks. 10 of us were able to actually stand our turnout jackets up on the bay floor. They were frozen solid. Took almost 30 minutes before they thawed enough and fell over.
