Isn't that a heatwave for CalgaryFreaking cold. -14C and tons of snow. Cloudy, icy roads and lousy drivers.
Yep. I trekked into the office yesterday and made my way to the Mon Wharf at lunchtime. Damn cold, but I love it when the rivers freeze like this, and it doesn't happen every year.They delayed the start of school Tuesday and Wednesday so kids didn't have to wait for busses in -15 F windchill. Friday, they completely gave up and closed school. Our high yesterday was around 7 or 8 with a -11 and below windchill. I even wore my ancient Duofold long undies under Duluth Trading cargo pants to walk the dogs. And zipped my coat! (you know it's cold when I zip my coat) We've made it up to 10 F (-12 C) today, but it's still windy.
Anyone sporting temperatures around the -15C range find they have issues with their cameras in the cold? I have a lubitel who's shutter slows down/sticks open, a voigtlander bessa r3m whose led light meter won't function and of course polaroids that won't develop.
I didn't realize you could get that done! I will have to call my local camera repair centre and ask them if they could do that for me!I used to have my cameras lubricated for cold weather every winter. That way I did not have cold weather shutter issues.
