your doomed

[cekivi]

Yeah... not looking so good there @MueckE

[MueckE]

well, at least i'm not thirsty

[thinair]

-65 is nothing, i seen -87 i think.

[cekivi]

@thinair: Fahrenheit or Celsius? -65C is about -85F

[MueckE]

hehe, wanted to see what comes to your minds when looking at this. The reality is not as bad as you might think. This picture is made two feed away from misanthrope's house (on the hill). There is a fishing hut between Jack Rabbit and Misanthrope's that i use as my outdoor-base. I just went quickly to the hut to pick up food that i have stored there. So i wasn't in danger at any time. On my way back the blizzard appeared and i couldn't remember to have seen such a low temperature and with all the red bars, the snapshot even looks more dangerous I went inside with 73% condition, ate and healed up to 100%

Ah, so much less bad than the picture lead us to believe then

Ah, how's Antarctica this time of year? See many penguins?

dude, that's well past the point when Carbon Dioxide starts solidifying out of the air. Inhaling air at that temperature would very likely be lethal, or at least give your lungs severe frostbite.

First one that came along after seeing the above was -78. Feeling quite warm in this one because I've seen them 10 degrees colder. Air temp where I sleep gets to -26 so in bed with my clothing close to max it feels like 0. You need to try getting out of the comfort zone!

Sometimes it's just whites and blues, the sublime hike across the ice.

Close but not quite. The melting point of Carbon Dioxide is -78C. The "feels like" includes wind chill so we're not quite at the point where the component parts of air begin separating.

day 40 morning blizzard in interloper gave me a -121F blizzard, which is -85C.  I'll screenshot the next one.

This is certainly interesting. Important to always take out the wind chill, as cekivi mentions, but a fascinating topic. 

And happy to see some of your extreme weather screenshots/measurements! It's always nice to see what Mother Nature is capable of.

All this talk of low temperature made me curious, so I looked up the coldest recorded temperature on Earth (as measured by ground personnel, not satellite measurements). Turns out it's −89.2 °C, from Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983. There's also a tradition called the 300 club among scientists at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. They wait for a day when the temperature drops to −100°F (-73°C), then they first warm up in the sauna to 200°F, and then run outside naked to the geographic south pole marker, thus enduring a temperature change of 300°F.

My bad, I meant the liquefaction point of CO₂ , but since CO₂ liquefies only at -56.6 when under 5.1 atmospheres of pressure, I thought it was safe to assume it would solidify (dry ice and all that malarkey). Just shows how your brain can deceive you when you are tired and the caffeine tank hits zero.

Indeed.

Also an excellent example of state changes in relationship to temperature and pressure. If I remember the phase diagram of CO2 correctly it doesn't have a liquid form (at any temperature) when under ambient pressure (1 atm or 101.3 kPa).

I am now feeling very happy with myself that I'm correct (I just looked it up). All these years of University weren't for nothing!

More than cold enough to freeze creeks.

Next time I'm playing, I'll have to make a tea party screenshot with dead animals and cups of tea.

And this is everything...slipping....away.

Probably a good time for an emergency stim...
