D years ago I was talkin skip to on old guy up there and he said (i forget the exact temps ) but an indians eyes dont water but a white mans will freeze shut.   Also he said at 60-70 below the water drops going up the chimney freeze as soon as they hit the cold at the top and will plug it up eventually....

I fit into the same category I think. Did a stint of being in love with a high country farmer. Had to ford the river 8 times to get to the homestead so was 4wd access or helicopter if the river was in flood. No electricity and cooked on an aga which was a full time job in itself to keep running, had to go 24/7 cos it heated the house and the water. I got used to doing my own cutting in the concrete cooler room and got used to having morning tea lunch and afternoon tea on tables at exactly the correct time for the musterers (stockmen at roundup) and shearers.
the day the jerk I was keen on came into the cook house and found me sitting down reading a magazine (everything was on schedule) and told me to get off my fat a rse and sweep the floor was the day I told him he would be happier if he found an anorexic workaholic.

K, don't believe the indian ... no diff about eyes freezing at -60 to -70.  Yes a chimney can plug but only if your cooking soup or stew and your fire's not hot enough to heat the entire stack; otherwise not enough water.  Relative humidity at those temps is around 0%.  I've been on exercises up here, in tents, with an ambient temp of -40 to -50 and winds up to 40 knots.  Try replacing a phone line under those conditions (brrrr).
