No.
I know that for a fact. I functioned perfectly well at -45°F on Denali. Yes, it was ###### uncomfortable, but I managed to survive.
I just got back from delivering a flatbed load in Minot, ND with the wind chill about -30°F. Basking in +20F in OKC right now.
Is a thong bikini out of the question?
What if it Snows?

Spent a month in Fargo one night at -54 with wind chill.
Fortunately that truck had the bunk heater wired so it would run with the engine running. The tractor brakes had to be set, shut off when released.Lepton1 and MagnumaMoose Thank this. -
By the way, Thursday night northbound on I-29, then westbound on I-94 from Fargo was a delight. Hard winds created a ground blizzard with a full moon and stars out.
The really interesting parts were when I was broadside to the wind approaching overpasses. At times the drifts on the freeway we're up to two or three feet high. It was necessary to slow from 60 or 70 to about 20-30 approaching overpasses, because it was helpful to see and get on the tracks of the last big rig to break through the drift.
"Travel NOT advised" electronic boards were up.
#### that. I was on a team load with my brother, delivering exactly ONE pallet to Minot, ND. Apparently it contained parts essential to get 36 specialized trailer back out on the job at fracking locations.
The head of operations in Minot came out to personally thank me for getting the load delivered. He had been watching the weather reports all night. We had half a dozen calls from dispatch overnight, wanting to know our ETA. We missed the original ETA by two hours.
The customer was satisfied. I was happy playing in "Snow Bunnies". We we're paid a buttload of money for the load.
What's not to like?
I just decided to forego the thong bikini. Is that security guard thinking that's wrong? I GOTTA sweep the mud off my trailer!lovesthedrive, MagnumaMoose and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
