Shot on a Google Pixel 4 in #Whitehorse, #Yukon, on Jan. 13, 14, 15, and 17, 2020. The temperature was about -40 C/F during most of the video (a little colder/warmer in some parts).
Lived here for over forty years. Minus forty is something of a novelty these days. In the 1970's, January and February would commonly bring weeks of minus forty-five. The ice fog, and the way that the cold air carries sound, makes those cold winter days very special, and very beautiful. It also teaches respect for nature - being dumb at those temperatures has consequences.
Same question It's always been a dream to live in cold place like this....😂🤗 Such places are not leads then heaven who grew up in +45 degrees weather conditions..😂😂

I lived my preteen years in Whitehorse from 1975 to 1980. I remember weather like this very well. I used to be a paperboy and delivered the Whitehorse Star. I'm not sure if it is still around, but I used to deliver papers in this kind of weather every winter. At the time, it seemed normal to me. When my parents relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, I went out and got another paper route to earn some money with. It was then that I realized that when I was in Whitehorse, I had the hardest paper route on the planet.
I can totally understand *people's aversion to going anywhere cold* ---especially as cold as -40! When someone is either not used to it, or has maybe never experienced real cold at all, it can certainly be shocking. Having grown up in a 'cold winter' climate zone, I learned a few things: ~> *What you think of as 'cold' depends totally upon you* ---your body type and how it adapts; your circulation; your perceptions of discomfort, etcetera. ~> *You physically acclimatize to cold.* I forget the specifics from my university days, but there's actually a loose 'rule' for how long it takes the human body to adapt to colder temps---like, such-and-such a temperature for so many hours per day for 'x' number of days. My own experiences bear this out. Every Fall / early Winter when we'd get the first day of -10 Celcius or so, I thought I was gonna freeze to death. Within about a week of steady temps that low, it actually didn't feel _nearly_ as cold as that first couple of days. (Honestly!) ~> *Dressing warmly mitigates virtually all the feeling of being too cold.* People unfamiliar with being outdoors in a cold climate often can't even imagine _*how_ to dress warmly (to the extent necessary). There is outerwear (and underwear) for every cold temperature. You can actually feel toasty and cozy even in -40C weather. Some areas like the face are a bit trickier, but depending on your skin's sensitivity there are even good coverings for that part of you. ~> *There are advantages to living in a 'Winter cold' climate area.* Granted, whether one views differences as advantages or disadvantages depends on your views on life, but a few totally esoteric, random ones off the top of my head might be: *+ Never having to deal with poisonous snakes* / lizards / other tropical or warm climate creatures or insects when going outside (or sometimes even if you stay inside!). *+ Buildings' exteriors stay cleaner.* Huh? Those used to living in hot climates might not even notice it. But I'll never forget the first couple of times I travelled to warm zones (S.California; India) and noticed all the dark streaks, mould and 'dirt' on many buildings. Never had that back home. My theory is that every Winter cold kills any algae(?) and mould that get a foothold in hot climates. *+ The 'freshness' of cold air.* Cold air just feels, and often smells, fresher than hot air. Could be that cold kills off all the bacterial and mould spores that float around _(

@Viktor Ivanov я сравнивал климатические данные, на самом деле, перед тем как написать свой верхний коммент и тоже удивился на этот счет, но в Уайтхорсе средняя влажность по месяцам ниже, чем в моем городе. И норма осадков тоже ниже. А средние температуры по месяцам примерно идентичные. Казалось бы, как так? Уайтхорс расположен в 250-ти км от побережья океана, а так же вокруг него есть довольно большое обилие озер. Но город так же окружен горами со всех сторон и они создают определенный заслон от влажности, видимо. Ну и, в их части света на климат сказываются совершенно другие факторы, поэтому там имеются свои нюансы. А насчет обледенелых ветвей - вы заметили, что из тамошней речки в -40 пар бьет и она не покрыта льдом? Собственно, от этого пара ветки дерева столь заиндевевшие. На вики написано, что у них там четыре гидроэлектростанции работают, видимо вода подогревается за счет каких-то сбросов, не разбираюсь в этом.

@oooodin I live in Finland where 99% of people are white, but I'm moving to Houston in the future which is one of the most diverse cities in the world. I'm not excited about the heat, but I'm looking forward to meeting people from all ethnicities and cultures. My boyfriend is brown too. In the end there is only one race, and that is human race. Focusing on the pigment of anyone's skin is the dumbest thing ever. I can't even call it childish, because racist babies and children don't exist, racism is always taught.
I'm from Windsor, Ontario which is the most southern area in mainland Canada (we're south of parts of Michigan). I have a friend who is from Whitehorse who goes to university with me down here and he says that he'd rather deal with their -40 with relatively low humidity over our -20 with 40-50% humidity because the humidity makes the air sting when it hits you. I've always found that interesting.
I am from the United States of America. Where I live, I have a hard enough time with 0 degrees, let alone -40 degrees. Those people must be used to it. I got frostbite in -22 degrees when I was only 19 years old. I know that I be in trouble with -40 degrees. Great video 👍 and scenery. Thank you for posting this.
Living in a place that never sees snow and whose lowest temperature along the year are around 7 ⁰C on the coldest winter nights, I must say: too beautiful, but too hard to bear. Walking carefully to avoid falls, cleaning the car and waiting a lot to get the engine hot (mine takes it in 7 minutes) and driving very slowly, winter tires, all-wheel drive as a must... I respect. Greetings from Brazil.
As a kid,I grew up in south central Alaska on a homestead( back before statehood). Cold was not a stranger. Trees would explode, nose hairs froze, frost lungs from over exertion, steps squeeked in the snow. Moved to Michigan's Upper Penninsula & about froze!! We were not prepared for the snow totals but, the biggest thing was the WIND!! There was cold there too but, those damm winter winds sweeping in off Lake Superior were another world. Constant blizzards, humongous snow drifts, constant snowfall & the constant winds would create a world not seen outside siberia.
well, of course there is always a flow under the ice cover, but rivers do freeze and u can stand on this ice, even in Moscow (quite a warm place for Russia) rivers freeze fully (covered fully with ice) and people stand there and set markets. in my region huge rivers ( 4km width) freeze fully and trucks ride on them with no problems
@Les Brown of course they do!! Even in London the Thames River used to freeze every winter in the 1800s. It’s quite uncommon now due to the climate change but rivers do freeze in most Nordic countries. The bottom may be running, but the top can quite easily be completely frozen.
Born and lived there as an adult Beautiful!! Also lived in Winnipeg. Difference is That at those temperatures in Whitehorse there is no wind Smoke goes up like an arrow. In Ywg it howls. That makes it much colder. Portage and Main is very very chilly place Main at Waterfront is beautiful in any season
Lived there over 40 years ago and still think about the place a lot. I see that Murdoch's is still there and even has the same old sign. Hougen's has moved across the street and doesn't appear to be the ''big'' department store it used to be. Many fond memories and have always wanted to go back but living a little far away for that now especially with all the covid restrictions. Thanks for the video although I do remember quite a few days that were a lot colder when we huddle up in the Yukon Inn or the Klondike Inn and drink beer and laugh about it.
Finland represent! The coldest I've experienced was -35 while in the Army doing my national service. The cold is no joke. I was super exhausted and slept like a log every night after a full day outside, even when it was just shooting range or something not so physical, your body consumes so much energy by just shivering. :D
In my younger days I rode a bike in -15C just for the fun of it, but not longer than for an hour at a time or so. A good cap covering the ears, thick gloves and a warm scarf or similar around the neck were most important, more than a good jacket, because the physical effort produces enough "waste energy" to keep most of the body warm. The biggest problem was with my glasses becoming foggy from my breath. When there is no wind, the air is dry and the sun is shining on the snow-covered landscape it is very pleasant to take a walk even at -20C. Finland has an interesting climate - while it can get as cold as -40C in winter, especially in the north, during summer temperatures often rise above +30C (when I visited Helsinki in July several years ago it was +32C and about +28C in Oulu). This amplitude must be a challenge to construct bridges, pipelines, railways and roads that can handle it. Of course there are other regions in the northern hemisphere with similar temperature characteristics - inland parts of Canada, Siberia, parts of Kazakhstan to name a few.
Weather so cold that the heat in your car barely does anything, and your footsteps echo off the building beside you. Winter in Canada is rough but you acquire a taste for it because it really is beautiful. I always get this wonderful feeling when fall hits because I know winter is around the bend.
Living near the equator I would probably die in that place. But I have to say that the place and the atmosphere are stunningly beautiful. Greetings from Ecuador, South America.
when I'm walking around the desert in the Middle East, its normal for me. I'm sure its the same over there in Yukon, when you guys walk around in the middle of snow.
I did a 7 day long wintercourse in the swedish army with -40c a couple of the days. And yeah sure it was cold, but as long as you didnt stand still and moved around it wasnt that bad actually. Amazing nightskies when its that cold also, zero moisture in the air. So you can see all the stars super clear when youre in the forest. It was an amazing experience for a 19 year old. And lets not mention the nordic lights....
Oh my god, this is city of my dream.. Well, assuming from video. But I have a bunch of positive emotions when watching snow, fog, mist.. I would escape from stifling Montreal in a heartbeat, but unfortunately cannot now because of work. Thanks a lot for showing all this cold beauty!
@Les Brown i dont know what ''tim horton'' is ....but then, someone wrote tim horton is a coffee house in canada..how does someone holding a tim horton coffee cup makes someone look canadian?

I lived in Whitehorse, Yukon from April 2008 to August 2022, before moving back to Calgary, Alberta. The coldest temperatures I've experienced up there was - 46 Celsius, and that was before the windchill. Those temperatures of 40 below or more aren't bad if there's no wind, you get used to it, dress in many layers before you finish with your parka. Now at those temperatures if the wind picks up to 30km/h or more it can feel like -70 Celsius and that's when it gets dangerous if you are not prepared. I still remember how temperatures of 40 below or more are very hard on vehicles, even when plugged in, if it did start was really rough on your vehicle, and while driving takes forever for the interior of your vehicle to warm up, the steering wheel was cold and stiff, put extra effort on the steering wheel to make turns, gear shifting was stiff also, very hard on the oil also, like molasses. Smartphones would only work for a few minutes in these extreme temperatures before going dead. During the winter it wasn't the cold temperatures that got me, it was the 19 hrs of darkness each day and the record snowfall and pact of the winters of 2020, 2021 and 2022, tired of shoveling the white stuff. Whitehorse may be known for being a dry climate, but with climate change, I believe that place is getting more wetter, Summers more rainfall and Winters more snowfall than before. Summers in Whitehorse are beautiful, you have 24hrs of daylight and 19hrs of sun each day, but the temperatures rarely get above 29 Celsius, the hottest temperature I've experienced up there was 30 Celsius, so when I moved back to Calgary and faced 35 Celsius in August and September of 2022, just about died, not used to that heat. Overall l miss Whitehorse, Yukon greatly, the beauty of the wilderness up there, definitely plan to revisit and connect with old friends someday, but Calgary is my home now, was before from 1970 to 2008.
Sometimes when it's this cold out and a very, very clear day with no wind you can just see smoke from chimneys going straight up and up and up and up into the sky.
I lived in North Bay for a while and one morning I woke up and it was -46 C... but man. The Yukon is so amazing. If this pandemic is ever over id love to visit!
I hope you get to visit. I did, for just under 2 weeks last month (September 2022) - best trip ever! It's a great little city and has so much to offer. GO! 😉👍
I lived in Minnesota for 14 years, I loved the 1st couple winters, after that, I was as depressed as no one could be, so I moved to Florida, 7 years ago, so far, I am not missing MN at all!!!
Kinda weird. It's 90 where I'm at right now and my AC is doing a very good job. But as soon as I started watching this, I actually started shivering a little and had to reach for a blanket.
Sure miss the Yukon and it's people. Now 87, a veteran and on my own. Think I'll go back next year and some day croak in peace. Living in the south is no hell. Peace everyone.
Very impressed with both the town and the people. I have always wondered what the capital of the Yukon looked like and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the way the townsfolk just went about their daily routines. Here in London anything below 40 fahrenheit is considered cold let alone minus 40 celsius.
That looks beautiful viewed from inside where it’s warm lol. The problem is there are a lot more problems to deal with when you get those low temps and it’s harder to fix and systems don’t operate correctly. It gets old.
I've been reading a book series that takes place in the Yukon wilderness but it frequently mentions places like Whitehorse and Dawson City, so I've been looking up these places out of sheer curiosity and idk I find it fascinating.
I could not live in that. Vancouver Island is cold enough for me when the mercury drops on a cold winter night to -6C / 25°F. I don't like winter, even here where there's two seasons - dry (summer) wet (winter).
@@Frazzo Vancouver is a different type of cold though. It's just chilly, grey and rainy for months on end. I could not handle that honestly. The Pacific Northwest is just too dreary, I'd get depressed after a while. But maybe that's on account of me growing up in Southern California and Texas lol.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath I hear ya ... the wet winters aren't for everyone. Stand still for too long and the moss will start going on ya. I love it here. If I was rich, I would always have a home here. My buddy posted a video from today. Finally some rain! czcams.com/video/D4Yu59av6v8/video.html Cheers.
This takes me back to a week I spent in Whitehorse in January back in 2012. I think it got this cold just after I left, but there was more snow. I remember watching a plow one night clear the road and it was just a road of more snow behind it.
A typical day in my hometown of Los Angeles. ;) I don't mind the cold, but -40 C is pushing it. It's the wind and slipping on ice in cold weather that I don't like.
Lived a season in Montana where we got a string of days that were in the -50's. It was so cold that the moment you go outside, your nose hairs instantly freeze (you think I'm joking). I was also witness to not one,not two,not three but four (a Family?) Bison ALL froze, standing up on the side of the road. This climate is not for the average soul and how you guys do it up north...I couldn't do again.
My chow chow would love wondering around in weather like this. Super thick double coat for arctic winter made him impervious to New York's winter cold. He would run around in thick snow and then make us chase after him.
NW Wisconsin has been -42 real temperature with a windchill of -110. You could take a cup of steaming hot coffee and toss it out the second story window, and it would hit the ground like coffee glass. You could take water in your mouth and spit it out the window under pressure and create instant snow. That's why we live in rural Middle TN, where we actually used the A/C a couple times during the Winter.
Loved the novelty of brutally cold winters, when living in MSP MN and Plattsburgh NY.... it’d be so cold that your nostrils would freeze/stick to your nose bridge lol
And here i never experienced snow in my entire life. Leave the snow, temperature here never goes below 15° C even in winter. Temperature ranges between 15° C (winter) to 45°C (summer) here..
I live in Ontario. When it gets to -30 , any exposed skin is bitten raw by the cold. It gets so painful that you begin to be insensitive to anything colder. -40 is bad but I cant tell the difference in pain between -30 and -40
Lovely pictures. Normally, I love Winter. It is the most beautiful time of year as far as I'm concerned. Here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) it can get rather cold and windy in those months. But we have ice hockey and outdoor sports to pass the time. Things are a bit different today due to the virus and the perils it may bring. Hopefully, we will be able to endure the coming months and any possible hazards. I'll be sure to have hot bowls of soup with lots of spinach to help keep me warm & (hopefully) healthy when those cold days come. My best to all ...
You can’t describe -40 to someone who hasn’t experienced it 🌝 I have no desire to live in it again but definitely want to do a winter trip and experience real cold again . We were there late 60’s and again early to mid 70’s.
Actually, I find temperatures just above freezing harder to digest than when it is waaay below 0 degrees. When it is just cold or very mildly freezing, the humidity in the air makes it feel a lot colder than it is. But when temperatures go really low, the air dries out and the cold somehow becomes less intrusive. I can get the shivers at 1 degree Celsius but will happily walk around in my t-shirt at -10, as long as the sun is out and there's no wind.
@@daved3948 Lucky you. Here in Belgium, winter means short, dark and drizzly days with temperatures well above freezing. Some winters we get a few days of frost, but those are becoming increasingly rare in more recent years, unfortunately (I love a good frost!).
ya know, it's very soothing. It's calm and peaceful. I have experienced brutal cold and such, but this is very peaceful and beautiful. Nothing like the brutal cold of the upper midwest where the wind never stops and the scenery is drab.

@oooodin I live in Finland where 99% of people are white, but I'm moving to Houston in the future which is one of the most diverse cities in the world. I'm not excited about the heat, but I'm looking forward to meeting people from all ethnicities and cultures. My boyfriend is brown too. In the end there is only one race, and that is human race. Focusing on the pigment of anyone's skin is the dumbest thing ever. I can't even call it childish, because racist babies and children don't exist, racism is always taught.
They obviously don't just move there for no reason. There is likely some natural resource that attracted them to those places.
oooodin aren’t there heaps of indigenous people in places like this?
Also everyone YES I know there are reasons people move to arid regions. just read the dry joke and give it a pity laugh thanks!
I'm from Windsor, Ontario which is the most southern area in mainland Canada (we're south of parts of Michigan). I have a friend who is from Whitehorse who goes to university with me down here and he says that he'd rather deal with their -40 with relatively low humidity over our -20 with 40-50% humidity because the humidity makes the air sting when it hits you. I've always found that interesting.
The quality of this video is incredible! I can feel the cold thru my display 😂
I love cold weather...snow, cold winds, fog, rain, rain with some lightning on the mix, I just love it.
I am from the United States of America. Where I live, I have a hard enough time with 0 degrees, let alone -40 degrees. Those people must be used to it. I got frostbite in -22 degrees when I was only 19 years old. I know that I be in trouble with -40 degrees. Great video 👍 and scenery. Thank you for posting this.
@Les Brown I only dress like that in the summer time. Not the winter time.
As an Aussie, I lived just outside Whitehorse for four years. Beautiful country up that way.
Yukon stole a part of my heart. Seeing this makes me miss it.
yukon should go to jail then
Me too, i know how you feel, grew up there late 70's thru the 80's always miss being there
Living in a place that never sees snow and whose lowest temperature along the year are around 7 ⁰C on the coldest winter nights, I must say: too beautiful, but too hard to bear. Walking carefully to avoid falls, cleaning the car and waiting a lot to get the engine hot (mine takes it in 7 minutes) and driving very slowly, winter tires, all-wheel drive as a must... I respect. Greetings from Brazil.
Kinda reminds me of Edmonton in Feb....,waiting for the bus to work at 6 a.m with one nostril frozen shut....eyes full of ice.....LOVE it!
Moving to this place so that my pc stays cool while gaming !!
bruh you will stay cool while gaming,like you will simply freeze :D
In too cold weather devices like smartphones starts to malfunction - very slow response time or stops working until warmed up.
That sounds like something someone of your age would say. Just put your xbox in the ice box, that would work to (Nah just kidding little guy)
My selfmade NASA like gaming PC would still heat up the whole city while I'm gaming.
The perfect place for intel system lmao.
As a kid,I grew up in south central Alaska on a homestead( back before statehood). Cold was not a stranger. Trees would explode, nose hairs froze, frost lungs from over exertion, steps squeeked in the snow. Moved to Michigan's Upper Penninsula & about froze!! We were not prepared for the snow totals but, the biggest thing was the WIND!! There was cold there too but, those damm winter winds sweeping in off Lake Superior were another world. Constant blizzards, humongous snow drifts, constant snowfall & the constant winds would create a world not seen outside siberia.
I'm actually surprise the water wasn't completely frozen.
@Les Brown some do of course ;-)
well, of course there is always a flow under the ice cover, but rivers do freeze and u can stand on this ice, even in Moscow (quite a warm place for Russia) rivers freeze fully (covered fully with ice) and people stand there and set markets. in my region huge rivers ( 4km width) freeze fully and trucks ride on them with no problems
@Les Brown of course they do!! Even in London the Thames River used to freeze every winter in the 1800s. It’s quite uncommon now due to the climate change but rivers do freeze in most Nordic countries. The bottom may be running, but the top can quite easily be completely frozen.
@Les Brown There are thermal waters right there that's why it didn't freeze even salt water would freeze at those temps
@@sampejke There are thermal waters right there that's why it didn't freeze even salt water would freeze at those temps
Beautiful. Look at all those brave souls going about their day like it's just another day. 😆 Thanks for the upload.
The locals call it Tuesday.
Nice weather, no need to fight with mosquitoes.
It is just another day. I work on this street.
what are their options???
It is just another day. And -40 when you have proper clothes is OK. It's not the same as if it was unexpectedly suddenly -40 in some warmer place.
Being from the South I am shivering just watching. It is beautiful.
I live here!!! I actually love it when it get cold like this! Although I must say winters are not as cold as they used to be
Born and lived there as an adult
Beautiful!!
Also lived in Winnipeg.
Difference is That at those temperatures in Whitehorse there is no wind
Smoke goes up like an arrow. In Ywg it howls. That makes it much colder. Portage and Main is very very chilly place
Main at Waterfront is beautiful in any season
Cold weather for Canadians: -40°C
Cold weather for Australians: 5°C
XD
Yes
Britain had a very bad taste of land
Cold weather for Brazilians: 18ºC
@Les Brown you mean 20?
Les Brown i va notice that British people wear shorts and sandals starting at 10c
That's cold weather!
That's not cold, that's f**g cold.
hey Anton what the hell are you doing here?
/nicholas cage you dont say pic goes here
Diane Albrecht thats not f***ing cold , its mother****ing cold
@@Ramstein83 thats a whole lot of mothers being f*cked...
Lived there over 40 years ago and still think about the place a lot. I see that Murdoch's is still there and even has the same old sign. Hougen's has moved across the street and doesn't appear to be the ''big'' department store it used to be. Many fond memories and have always wanted to go back but living a little far away for that now especially with all the covid restrictions. Thanks for the video although I do remember quite a few days that were a lot colder when we huddle up in the Yukon Inn or the Klondike Inn and drink beer and laugh about it.
This feels so serene and peaceful. Canada is truly a beauty:)
You want to go there in the summer
Severe, yet beautiful
Finland represent! The coldest I've experienced was -35 while in the Army doing my national service.
The cold is no joke. I was super exhausted and slept like a log every night after a full day outside, even when it was just shooting range or something not so physical, your body consumes so much energy by just shivering. :D
In my younger days I rode a bike in -15C just for the fun of it, but not longer than for an hour at a time or so. A good cap covering the ears, thick gloves and a warm scarf or similar around the neck were most important, more than a good jacket, because the physical effort produces enough "waste energy" to keep most of the body warm. The biggest problem was with my glasses becoming foggy from my breath.
When there is no wind, the air is dry and the sun is shining on the snow-covered landscape it is very pleasant to take a walk even at -20C.
Finland has an interesting climate - while it can get as cold as -40C in winter, especially in the north, during summer temperatures often rise above +30C (when I visited Helsinki in July several years ago it was +32C and about +28C in Oulu). This amplitude must be a challenge to construct bridges, pipelines, railways and roads that can handle it. Of course there are other regions in the northern hemisphere with similar temperature characteristics - inland parts of Canada, Siberia, parts of Kazakhstan to name a few.
Respect you.
@@adamzieba8364 You wore a scarf at -15C ?? You wimp
Weather so cold that the heat in your car barely does anything, and your footsteps echo off the building beside you. Winter in Canada is rough but you acquire a taste for it because it really is beautiful. I always get this wonderful feeling when fall hits because I know winter is around the bend.
Living near the equator I would probably die in that place. But I have to say that the place and the atmosphere are stunningly beautiful. Greetings from Ecuador, South America.
These CZcams recommendations keep getting better.
yep. This is the stuff I like.
WHERE'S THE GOD DAMN HORSE??????????????????//
Interesting comment. Ever since I deleted everything with the word ‘Trump’ in it, I’ve started getting better videos.
when I'm walking around the desert in the Middle East, its normal for me. I'm sure its the same over there in Yukon, when you guys walk around in the middle of snow.
Nikki B I’ve been in both, minus forty, plus 50, that’s why they have malls.
Humans are evolved to live in hot weather. Extreme cold? Not so much.
@@tacocruiser4238 i dont think so,bottom of your feet boils alive when in desert
Doesn’t snow much when it’s that cold
Note the "carpet" attached to the front grill (2:07) to help with keeping the motor warm. My Dad did this every winter on his truck grill.
I'm from Las Vegas and some of the shots look postcard perfect....just majestic looking town! Thansk for showing!
This recommended by CZcams when we are experiencing a heatwave in the Netherlands.
Experienced Amsterdam at plus 35, not fun......Also live thru Northern Ontario winters at minus 30-40 every year, Love it.
In Southern Ontario, we got minus 35 and plus 35 in same year, I love Canada but the weather tests you every year
@Ocean WLL?? I didn't say 10 concecutive days, I said in the same year, and it common to see the deep swings was my point, like Aug and Jan
Here in Southern California it was 46 celcius
😂😂😂🤣
I did a 7 day long wintercourse in the swedish army with -40c a couple of the days. And yeah sure it was cold, but as long as you didnt stand still and moved around it wasnt that bad actually. Amazing nightskies when its that cold also, zero moisture in the air. So you can see all the stars super clear when youre in the forest. It was an amazing experience for a 19 year old. And lets not mention the nordic lights....
Oh my god, this is city of my dream.. Well, assuming from video. But I have a bunch of positive emotions when watching snow, fog, mist.. I would escape from stifling Montreal in a heartbeat, but unfortunately cannot now because of work.
Thanks a lot for showing all this cold beauty!
Funny, because I often want to live in Montreal again. But you're right, I think, in that lots of good things happen here.
Whitehorse has a dry cold. I would take that over Ottawa's humid -20C any day of the week.
That dry cold thing is rubbish. Minus 40 is life endangering without any wind.
@@sarpsarp8987 Yeah lol
Ottawa cannot compare in the sightest. On record cold days with windchills yeah sure. But rarely does windchills go below -40C
Until you experience it you can’t even imagine what -40 feels like. Been there done that
Love the guy all bundled up carrying his Tim Hortons... so Canadian...
um, i dont get it...maybe cuz im amurcan
tim hortons is a coffee shop chain that’s only in canada i think
@Les Brown i dont know what ''tim horton'' is ....but then, someone wrote tim horton is a coffee house in canada..how does someone holding a tim horton coffee cup makes someone look canadian?
brown buter because it’s freezing ass cold outside, and that Canuck is just walking along with his Tim Horton coffee like it’s the middle of summer. That’s why it’s so Canadian lol.
drizzleRomanceGirl Tmmy Ho’s is also in some parts of the US. For example, my hometown Buffalo, NY.
I lived in Whitehorse, Yukon from April 2008 to August 2022, before moving back to Calgary, Alberta. The coldest temperatures I've experienced up there was - 46 Celsius, and that was before the windchill. Those temperatures of 40 below or more aren't bad if there's no wind, you get used to it, dress in many layers before you finish with your parka. Now at those temperatures if the wind picks up to 30km/h or more it can feel like -70 Celsius and that's when it gets dangerous if you are not prepared. I still remember how temperatures of 40 below or more are very hard on vehicles, even when plugged in, if it did start was really rough on your vehicle, and while driving takes forever for the interior of your vehicle to warm up, the steering wheel was cold and stiff, put extra effort on the steering wheel to make turns, gear shifting was stiff also, very hard on the oil also, like molasses. Smartphones would only work for a few minutes in these extreme temperatures before going dead. During the winter it wasn't the cold temperatures that got me, it was the 19 hrs of darkness each day and the record snowfall and pact of the winters of 2020, 2021 and 2022, tired of shoveling the white stuff. Whitehorse may be known for being a dry climate, but with climate change, I believe that place is getting more wetter, Summers more rainfall and Winters more snowfall than before. Summers in Whitehorse are beautiful, you have 24hrs of daylight and 19hrs of sun each day, but the temperatures rarely get above 29 Celsius, the hottest temperature I've experienced up there was 30 Celsius, so when I moved back to Calgary and faced 35 Celsius in August and September of 2022, just about died, not used to that heat. Overall l miss Whitehorse, Yukon greatly, the beauty of the wilderness up there, definitely plan to revisit and connect with old friends someday, but Calgary is my home now, was before from 1970 to 2008.
Just another beautiful day in Whitehorse, Canada. I can't wait to visit this winter! ;)
Sometimes when it's this cold out and a very, very clear day with no wind you can just see smoke from chimneys going straight up and up and up and up into the sky.
Find me a video of this!! Why does it happen?
Still not cold as my mother in law
put his corpse in a freezer
I lived in North Bay for a while and one morning I woke up and it was -46 C... but man. The Yukon is so amazing. If this pandemic is ever over id love to visit!
I hope you get to visit. I did, for just under 2 weeks last month (September 2022) - best trip ever! It's a great little city and has so much to offer. GO! 😉👍
I lived in Minnesota for 14 years, I loved the 1st couple winters, after that, I was as depressed as no one could be, so I moved to Florida, 7 years ago, so far, I am not missing MN at all!!!
Kinda weird. It's 90 where I'm at right now and my AC is doing a very good job. But as soon as I started watching this, I actually started shivering a little and had to reach for a blanket.
@Les Brown Lol. 90° F. Haha.
I grew up there. Still go back every single chance i get, usually fishing trips. But choose the summers rather than the winters.
Sure miss the Yukon and it's people. Now 87, a veteran and on my own. Think I'll go back next year and some day croak in peace. Living in the south is no hell. Peace everyone.
Very impressed with both the town and the people. I have always wondered what the capital of the Yukon looked like and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the way the townsfolk just went about their daily routines. Here in London anything below 40 fahrenheit is considered cold let alone minus 40 celsius.
Nice and warm , I'd love to take a vacation here
That looks beautiful viewed from inside where it’s warm lol. The problem is there are a lot more problems to deal with when you get those low temps and it’s harder to fix and systems don’t operate correctly. It gets old.
I've been reading a book series that takes place in the Yukon wilderness but it frequently mentions places like Whitehorse and Dawson City, so I've been looking up these places out of sheer curiosity and idk I find it fascinating.
2:15 a bmw indicating is more gob smacking then the cold
One of the first businesses you see is YUKON TRAVEL. I would have thought there would be a line out the door.
I like the sound of the footsteps.
Can't comment whether I could live there
Get a good parka, some mukluks, scarf, toque and big pair of mitts and you'll be good.
Absolutely frightening.
This is just breathtakingly beautiful !!! I wish it would get like this in WA state!
try Winthrop, Wa and the Pasayten plateau in the winter. It gets that cold.
You can't even imagine how much I would love to live in a place like this...It's beautiful 😪
Its a privilege and blessing living in a country like Canada i love it
I could not live in that. Vancouver Island is cold enough for me when the mercury drops on a cold winter night to -6C / 25°F.
I don't like winter, even here where there's two seasons - dry (summer) wet (winter).
@@Frazzo Vancouver is a different type of cold though. It's just chilly, grey and rainy for months on end. I could not handle that honestly. The Pacific Northwest is just too dreary, I'd get depressed after a while. But maybe that's on account of me growing up in Southern California and Texas lol.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath I hear ya ... the wet winters aren't for everyone. Stand still for too long and the moss will start going on ya. I love it here. If I was rich, I would always have a home here.
My buddy posted a video from today. Finally some rain! czcams.com/video/D4Yu59av6v8/video.html
Cheers.
This takes me back to a week I spent in Whitehorse in January back in 2012. I think it got this cold just after I left, but there was more snow. I remember watching a plow one night clear the road and it was just a road of more snow behind it.
that’s cold! I complain about zero temps in winter in southern Australia!
A typical day in my hometown of Los Angeles. ;) I don't mind the cold, but -40 C is pushing it. It's the wind and slipping on ice in cold weather that I don't like.
At -40° it’s not slippery, the ice actually feels a bit sticky.
Lived a season in Montana where we got a string of days that were in the -50's. It was so cold that the moment you go outside, your nose hairs instantly freeze (you think I'm joking). I was also witness to not one,not two,not three but four (a Family?) Bison ALL froze, standing up on the side of the road. This climate is not for the average soul and how you guys do it up north...I couldn't do again.
My chow chow would love wondering around in weather like this. Super thick double coat for arctic winter made him impervious to New York's winter cold. He would run around in thick snow and then make us chase after him.
NW Wisconsin has been -42 real temperature with a windchill of -110. You could take a cup of steaming hot coffee and toss it out the second story window, and it would hit the ground like coffee glass. You could take water in your mouth and spit it out the window under pressure and create instant snow. That's why we live in rural Middle TN, where we actually used the A/C a couple times during the Winter.
Stunning. I'd move there tomorrow if the lottery comes in.
It’s August, why am I watching this right now?
natasha Woodbury huh it was a joke.
@@silencenhikes6692 I'm sorry man, my gf Natasha was having that time of the month... I apologize if any offense was taken.
Loved the novelty of brutally cold winters, when living in MSP MN and Plattsburgh NY.... it’d be so cold that your nostrils would freeze/stick to your nose bridge lol
Words that pop into my head from looking at this: biting, crisp.
Thank you very very very much
I love your videos like this
And here i never experienced snow in my entire life. Leave the snow, temperature here never goes below 15° C even in winter. Temperature ranges between 15° C (winter) to 45°C (summer) here..
where?
Sounds like you’re talking about India haha
I live in Ontario. When it gets to -30 , any exposed skin is bitten raw by the cold. It gets so painful that you begin to be insensitive to anything colder. -40 is bad but I cant tell the difference in pain between -30 and -40
Beautiful City. I was there for a week during some -35 weather. I loved it!!
Who else thought a white horse will be coming through the fog running..😅
raises hands, **looks uncomfortably around**
Beautiful Canada
Thanks for the memories- used to live above the airport, and at the Hatch house!
Imagine how cold it would be if you fell into that river!
On second thought, considering the air temp is -40C, the water might actually feel warm!
People going about their business like bosses. Proud to be Canadian.

I'm from Costa Rica,I was living there ,Love canada love white horse!!❤️,Soy de Costa Rica, estuve viviendo ahí,amo Canada,Amo white horse!❤️
I miss winters like these! Nowadays all we seem to get in Southern Finland are winters of wet snow and rain...
Lovely pictures. Normally, I love Winter. It is the most beautiful time of year as far as I'm concerned. Here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) it can get rather cold and windy in those months. But we have ice hockey and outdoor sports to pass the time.
Things are a bit different today due to the virus and the perils it may bring. Hopefully, we will be able to endure the coming months and any possible hazards. I'll be sure to have hot bowls of soup with lots of spinach to help keep me warm & (hopefully) healthy when those cold days come.

You can’t describe -40 to someone who hasn’t experienced it 🌝 I have no desire to live in it again but definitely want to do a winter trip and experience real cold again . We were there late 60’s and again early to mid 70’s.
Made many trips to Whitehorse flying cargo planes. Always enjoyed flying in the remote places in Canada.
I can't even survive a 4° temperature
Actually, I find temperatures just above freezing harder to digest than when it is waaay below 0 degrees. When it is just cold or very mildly freezing, the humidity in the air makes it feel a lot colder than it is. But when temperatures go really low, the air dries out and the cold somehow becomes less intrusive.
I can get the shivers at 1 degree Celsius but will happily walk around in my t-shirt at -10, as long as the sun is out and there's no wind.
@@berttroubleyn3475 this is true and weird at the same time. my ohio weather is somewhat like this.
@@daved3948 Lucky you. Here in Belgium, winter means short, dark and drizzly days with temperatures well above freezing. Some winters we get a few days of frost, but those are becoming increasingly rare in more recent years, unfortunately (I love a good frost!).
