I've been there many times, so it wasn't new, but the new guy that went with me commented about how different it was that the roads weren't melting with the sun out (and that was at -25 or so).
Laptop screens get sluggish in about 90 seconds, and actually stop working in about 4-5 minutes.
Hands without gloves to type never feel cold. They just hurt from the get go. With no breeze, you can still feel the hurt for about 5-6 minutes. Any breeze, and that time frame drops to about 1-2 minutes tops.
United won't try and fly planes, so I got to drive to Billings to fly home.
Tried to get the customer to cancel that trip, but no dice. Thankfully the majority of the week was only -20 to -30 D.
I laughed.
Walking out of the hotel at -40 to head for the airport (dressed for flying, not working) and we were all joking about that anyway...

Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

They can fly, it's pretty much ground crew or deicing equipment or fuel equipment not working that keeps things grounded. I was in Chicago the week they got the -50 -60 wind chill temps and was fortunate they were still flying hubs. 1500-1600 flights/day to regionals got cancelled.
