The Alaskan Gulf one is BS. The water is ocean and glacial water. Them meet take a bit of time to mix due to salinity and temp difference.

Yes, the ice sliding off the speed limit sign is a cool photoshop, isn't it? Oops, I meant "unusualfact," not "photoshop."
vulturedoors
Yeah the numbers wouldn't show up on the ice coat. The signs are perfectly smooth.
Picobit04
But doesn't the color black attract more light - and so heat, making the ice thinner there? Maybe that's too farfetched...
Skande
That's what I thought. Or maybe different material holding heat in the black. I've seen that happen here during ice storms.

In short: not seas, but a place where 'sediment-laden' water from glacial rivers meets seawater.
OfficialJoeBiden
Thanks, I was annoyed when it seemed like they were about to give a direct answer, then started talking about a study.
MissaMac
Also of course it mixes..its water with different solutes not water and oil
numberonespongebebfan
Something similar happens at the southern most tip of India. I don't remember if the seas are different colours but the sand is 3 colours /1
fleacollerindustry
In Korea there is something similar, where two rivers meet, and thus their waters don't mingle right away.

Where the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Ocean meet /2

Noting the text on the images itself I'd assume otherwise. Could be though. It remains to be seen.

#4 I don't even know what it's like to be that cold. The coldest I've been in is -5F. After that it just feels like pain, right?
Janusha
I was out walking in -40 on a trip to Canada. My camera stopped working and I lost the feelings in 3 fingers for over a week.
Lexielle1
From Canada: other than that first breath you take outside that hurts, it's fine.
noblespaceplatypus
your cheeks burn, if you're running it hurts to breathe, and you have 15 minutes to get inside before your skin freezes
notaballoon
At that point you do a great deal to make sure you yourself never get close to the ambient temp
EdwardStarsmith
I experienced -20F for about 10 min, if that. Moisture from my breath froze in my beard. I looked like Nicholson at the end of The Shining.
ChickenTacquitos
I work in the frozen dept of my shop rite. We gotta be in a -30°F freezer for up to an hour straight sometimes. Hands numb within 30 min.
gleely
-60C, SK. Working outside. Wasn't fun.
monsiuerdownvotes
-40F (coldest I've experienced stationted in North Dakota) isn't bad unless there is even the slightest of breezes...
GingerParade
The cold hurts your eyeballs here in North Dakota :(
vulturedoors
At -40 your blood starts to freeze near the skin surface if you're not properly bundled up. It's dangerous to be outside.
ForeverSinceBreakfast
Lived in South Dakota for a while, coldest I got to was -35F before wind chill. Truthfully, below -10F or so it all sucks just as hard.
IsDisassembled
Toronto two Februaries ago had a -26C day (-39C with windchill). The water pipes in my bathroom froze. I worked from home to avoid going out
Santooth
Mostly numbness unless you expose a previously unexposed area. Beyond that, weakness and irritation around the nose. Ears tend to hurt too.
hotpotato666
It got up to - 52°c with windchill in Edmonton Canada one year... your skin freezes as soon as it touches the air. Eyelashes become crystal
Babbadook
Fairbanks Alaska here, we got -55°F last year and I ran out to my truck without a hat and got brainfreeze 1/2
Babbadook
2/2 But you're right, after -30°F it just feels cold. Our ability to differentiate temp that cold is impossible
Babbadook
And yes we still have to work at -50/-60
ThePodd
Without any wind, for me at least, -5F feels no different than -30F.
weldr67
It was -17 C in my bedroom one January. Outside it was -55 C. I believe that was 1989

I never used to get cold, or at least, had a very high tolerance. 10-15 years later and I start feeling chilly in the low 40's

That temp makes your bones feel frozen and takes your breath away. Snow is crunchy and squeaky. Your ears and toes feel like rocks.

If you mean a steel with high enough impact toughness that it would still meet requirements after the drop due to cold, yes.

Yeah that feeling means your shivering mechanism is no longer working and you're starting to die.

The pain isn't so bad, it's the numbness. You just feel numb everywhere. When you go back in and start to thaw that's when the pain comes

Oil shouldn't freeze; of course you add anti-freeze agent to gasoline. Available at gas stations everywhere where it gets cold occasionally.
