Where do you live, in Tuktyuktuk?

I split my time between Markham and the far reaches of Northern Ontario.

I’m in Moosonee at the moment, balmy -22 (-33 with windchill) and the snow is falling , hard I can’t see 10 yards. I’m snow stuck at the moment, we travel on small planes so no-go in a blizzard. Might take the JBWR to my next stop - that’s an adventure!
 
Popped the clutch off my old sled. Have a dead spot between 5000 -6000 RPMs and we're thinking it's the new used clutch.

Also finally popped the rear wheel from the KLX. It's getting new rubber, chain and sprockets.

I would much rather have it cold and snow than that gray -5 and hard ground - at least you can sled, ice fish, show shoe. What small planes are you in? 172's or Beavers/Otters? Are they on ski's or wheels?

If you are up there in the spring, you could take part in the river ice breakup thing they do up there.

Not sure if that is accurate. It's consistently -30 up there, with wind about - 40.
Plus a long stretch of no sunlight.

I'm ok with a day or so of -20 or -30.

Yup. It’s very windy, very snowy, and very, very cold. I don’t mind the cold, good gear keeps you warm. But if you’re working outside the wind chill is below -30 you can’t escape the cold, you can’t only work about 20 minute stints before warming up.

But there is sunlight from 8 to 5.

King Airs.

-30 is chilly on a sled, once you’re moving it’s -50. There is no gear I’m aware of that keep you safe on a sled at those temps. A sliver open in your gear burns skin in seconds.

Don’t ask how I know.
