im actually making conscious effort to reduce carbs & eliminate sugar ( I will "carb load" with pasta though if I know I am going to be needing it )
Animal proteins & fats, along with fresh veggies are definitely on the menu though
( I get more than enough carbs in beer, just quietly
)

in constant high temps, the body starts craving salty food
on a 40 C + day, a cup of salt covered hot chips has more recuperative power than an ice cream, believe it or not

It’s not so bad when you are there. Once it is bellow -25 it all feels the same. I spent a winter at uni in Minneapolis and we had -40 with a -40 wind chill. We used start our cars then go back inside until they warmed up. Than drove to uni where we spend the day in heater rooms. The jacket I wore there and kept me warm does not keep me warm in winter here.
Nothing in the forecast for that here. Maybe in Crofters area.@Blaithin ??

-25 only feels like -40 if you’re in it for the length of time it takes to walk to your car...
This graphic from the article explains it well. No matter how cold the damp in the UK might feel to you, it’s not freeze your skin so it dies in 5 minutes cold.
And if you were outside for more than 50 feet to the car I can guarantee you’d be wearing more than a jacket.

You're welcome to that.
Coldest I've worked in was in the blast freezers, and after 15 minutes you'd be rotated out to -18°C to warm up - at which point you'd begin to sweat at the sudden "heat" and have to go back in to cool off!
When its been -40 for a while would have thought 0 to -9 would be very
comfortable
T shirt and shorts weather then

Roy you may Farm like a peasant but you eat like a King
better than farming like a King & eating like a peasant
These Antipodeans must have hidden advantages if they can eat out so often.......Roy you may Farm like a peasant but you eat like a King
No,it’s just in my situation if I go out I’d have to take the Mrs and kids which would multiply the bill by 5........so I don’t go out...

But the experts keep preaching not to carry reserves
Cut back on preserved forage, dont have a spare tractor, dont bother growing a wee drop barley or turnips.
In a bad season , call in a contractor., who wontbe available cos everyones in the same boat
