25 degree difference ? Does that mean you're wearing shorts at -50 ??

Humorously you sometimes see people go to the grocery store in shorts and Tshirt. Arrive in a warm car, jump out, leave it running...run back in. Incredibly stupid if they break down. But also funny is after a stretch of -60F, when it would warm up to -40f it felt...if not warm...much nicer and "easier" just breathing and then at -20F it felt like springtime. My wife and I commuted by bike for a winter down to -20F but it was time consuming

Those numbers are insane especially for the drone batteries

Retired now, but worked as an analytical chemist and technical assistant at the last primary zinc smelter in the UK. When it closed and I was made redundant I utilised hobby/professional IT skills as a network manager in primary and secondary schools. While all this was going on I volunteered as an instructor in various motorcycle rider training schemes and as a school governor for over 25 years.

The title says 40F but it should read -40F
