Title: Coldest soak (ambient, not water temp)
Post by: Cgy_Spa on December 22, 2006, 03:55:59 am
What is the coldest that everyone has braved disrobing for a soak?

Granted, this is my first winter with a spa, but I did -30C (-22F) about a month ago and it was wonderful!

+4F.  It was a totally still clear night.  I don't think it has gotten colder than that in the 3.5 years I've owned my tub.  Ironically the next night it warmed to 22 with a driving wind, so we didn't soak.

On the coldest of cold nights I will go in without hesitation but if i's cold and windy I hesitate, I still go in but I hesitate at the door.  -30c no problem

minus 17 degrees F. A little tough getting in but no problem when it was time to get out.

Probably -10F.  Maybe I will get a chance to beat my personal record this year.

8 degrees Farenheit with a wind chill of -5. I had a ski mask on. :)

Hey CT! I see the -39 degrees F, but it didnt look like you got in!
Hey, also noticed that -39F = -39C . What a coincidence!

LOL

Good thing there was no wind chill. Nothing worse then -273°C with a wind chill added to it.

If I remember my physics correctly - wind would be an impossibility.

It's been colder than normal in Southern California. The other night I got in at around 40°F. It was kind of nice.

I think youre right. Absolute zero means absolutely no movement.

We were in one night a couple years ago here in Edmonton at -36C. Getting to the tub was brutal but it was nice getting out!

I think wind is not possible at 0K.  But if your tub was still at temp, we can settle the ff vs TP once and for all!
