I was there at Xmas 95, it was -7. The insulated gloves I took with me were bloody useless, I had to go buy a pair of pome ones to stop my hands going purple.
It had been 30 years since I was at school in the UK, I'd forgotten just how bloody cold it got.......
I will add that I bought lager and put it in the fridge at home and had a standing order with the local pub to keep half a dozen Heineken on ice, lol. If I wanted something to warm me it was also amber in colour and Product of Scotland

I know it gets real cold here, I went detecting once and a didn't go home til after dark and it was minus 14*c, needless to say that was the last time I ever did that, But when you are find old stuff you do get side tracked,

Thanks for the tip condor. Will be buying on Thursday.
Hottest Feb on record up here, and also one of the driest, over night lows of 29 this week, cant wait to go back to normal overnight lows of 26....
Daytime temps of 36 in the suburbs and 33 in the city, but those temps are for at least 18 hours a day, then it cools down to our lows of 29, gradually...

Thanks Condor. I ended up today buying the Engel MT45F-G4CP 40L combi Fridge/Freezer from your recommendation. Can't wait till delivery, as I'll then have a second fridge locked up in my bedroom when not travelling where kids can't steal my beer. I reckon that over my lifetime,I'm going to save heaps!

Yeah and it will stick to my skin and wax my Armpits when I try to remove it, lol
Last week it was minus 5 and next we they say it's going to be in double digits around about 15*c, I'm alright I have a Canada Goose Snow mantra Parka and a pair of Baffin Boots rated to -100*c if things get chilly, and I have sleeping bags rated to -50*c

Better you than me.

I was at BCF tonight, saw the 45 combi. I have 2 reasons for not buying one there and then.
1. I already got an Engel.
2. The Fridge is not cheap but the divorce would be far more expensive 8.(
Condor, been through the divorce. Now I can buy whatever I like (except my kids keep me broke). Endless beer that kids can't steal
Connor,
Engel arrives tomorrow Whroo! I'll cool a warm six pack with it and let you know how they taste - one by one.
Ridge Runner,
Sorry mate, but it doesn't have a thawing capability.

The Cover turned up for mine today, geez they charge like a wounded bull for them over here, 166.00 X 2 =332.00 bucks that flaming hurt, Oh and I ordered the new X-Treme 60" Hi-Lift jack, I got the normal 48" cast red version but this one is a little ripper so I had to have it coz a few times even the 4 foot one was too short, lol

Yeah I got the fridge cheap but for some reason every one charges a premium for the cover,
What about the rip off for a fridge slide - holder. Around $ 300 - 400.

I found this on the Engel web site, it refutes the previous test results of the 40 litre @ 956W.
It should have been 413W (34.42AH/24 hrs) which is 10W more than ARB (< 1.0AH)
So very comparable.
Goes to show that even accredited testing makes mistakes, and my own experiences knew that something was not quite adding up......
