Things that do not like this weather.
I think I'm going to try my hand at a list of things that don't really work past -40. At low temperatures, things just decide to give up the ghost. At really low temperatures, important things in your house start breaking. When it gets cold, Alaskan's start navel gazing; with that in mind, here's some things most people wouldn't think of not working.
I'm very sad that the bear at the Geist entrance has lost his head. Would you like to do a repair job with me? I can spray the water, you can stick the head on. :)
