Re: -40
If it was truly -40 he'd have his ear flaps down.

Re: -40
Back in the 1950s I knew an old timer that used kerosene (coal oil as we called it) in the cooling system instead of anti-freeze.

Re: -40
True - those hats are great though. Way warmer than the ol stocking cap.

Re: -40
Not true, he's Russian don't forget. Would need to be -50 for those flaps to come down.

Re: -40
Plus the Soviet papirosa he's smoking must also help in keeping warm.

Re: -40
ha! Not sure I agree though. We get -40 sometimes and even a Russian`s ears would freeze! Ugh, not looking forward to it.
