Last Night Was A Balmy Evening, Compared To Dawson Creek
You may think it's cold, but to Herman Easterly, Kansas' frigid nights are just like balmy summer evenings.
"Climate in that region is dry enough that the cold doesn't have a chance to penetrate too deeply," he says.
After his military sojourn of 18 months in the North, where the temperature often swoops to 60 or 70 degrees below zero, Easterly doesn't mind sub-zero temperatures at all.
Stationed at Dawson Creek, British Columbia, 500 rail miles northwest of Edmonton, Alberta, Lieutenant Easterly, now an Engineering junior at K.U., found the cold particularly invigorating.
"We wore the usual army Arctic clothing—parkas, several pairs of heavy wool socks, and ordinary G.I.
And Easterly's army ordinance company certainly had ample opportunity to find out. The company serviced way stations along a part of the distance of the American-built portion of the Alcan highway from Dawson Creek to Fairbanks, Alaska, some 1,600 miles.
overshoes." Easterly said.
When temperatures get down in the 60-70 below bracket, shaving becomes a "must," he asserted.
"If you don't shave, the moisture from your skin will get into your whiskers and freeze your face in nothing flat," he explained.
For nights in the open, Easterly carried a small, lightweight, well-insulated bedroll and slept in what he termed "perfect comfort."
Men who traveled the highway for any distance always carried their bedrolls and if a blizzard marooned them in the Arctic wastes they were to instructed to crawl into their sleeping bags and stay there, Easterly recalled.
"That way the men sometimes got pretty hungry, but they didn't freeze to death," he said.
Easterly also remarked that in such frigid temperatures both man and beast in the open are usually surrounded by an aura of steam given off by body evaporation.
And speaking of beasts, he brought back the hide of a six-foot grizzly bear, had it tanned, and hung it up on the wall of his living room.
