The first year I went i froze, but for some reason the second time i wasn't near as cold, i actually slept in a t-shirt b/c my sweatshirt was too hot.

You must have very warm blood cause i have never been warm in a Hab room. Hab 2 was marginally better when i was in that for 2001 and AC is the warmest habitat i've stayed in.

Hmm... I've never really felt cold in the Habs... maybe I'm just lucky.

Actually, it wasn't just me. Several of us were returning campers and came prepared to freeze, but found ourselves warm instead.

I am from Canada, land of ice and snow (8 months of the year) and yes, even I found it cold in Habitat I at times. I won't say it was cold every night though, but most of the time it was. Sweatpants, jumpers, and socks are good things to bring to camp!

Then again, I have been known to go camping on 'warm' (-15C to -20C) weekends in winter. Seriously, snow is one of the ultimate insulators, and huts made from snow or tents pitched on snow are much warmer than Habitat I!

I think they should keep Habitat I at 17 degrees C all year round - it's warm in winter and it's cool in summer, but not cold enough to make you hypothermic. If only temperature control were that easy...

ive been in three difernt roms but none were nearly as cold as 210
. i would wake up shivering uncontorlably but when i went to sleep it was warm....they must turn it on higher during the middle of the night and some ppl wake up and some dont.

I was in 301...it was definitely cold, but not horrible...maybe it has something to do with it being a corner room (like having outside walls on two sides)?

The rooms were always comfortable to me except in 98. Only reason it wasnt then was because someone the previous week had found a way to close the vent in our room which we didnt discover till late in the week it was actually rather warm most of the week. Granted that week one day was up around 110 temp wise. But then i like my room cold.

Yeah, really. I mean, those crazy canucks and their metric system. Yeah, them along with everyone else on this planet. What's wrong with all of those people?! :wink:

By the way, just for reference, the speed of light is 1.8026175 × 10^12 furlongs per fortnight

At work we usually use the imperial system of units because nearly all of our customers are in the Unites States. (Texas, Iowa, New York, and Washington) When we get peeved with them we send them drawings with metric measurements... it's great... :wink:

I am slightly bitter because a university professor decided to make our final exam in imperial units (when 95% of all our assignments were in metric) and I totally failed the exam, and nearly failed the course, because I used 9.81 instead of 32 - and all our calculators are calibrated to Metric (type in '1g' and you get 9.81, not 32) - what a nightmare. Sorry, needed to vent...

I'm fine with inches and feet now, only because I use them at work, but I still like messing with Americans' minds when it comes to temperature, volume, and mass. (Partially because I never use pounds, ounces, the other kind of ounces ?!?, or Fahrenheit in daily life.) :D

c = 2.998 x 10^8 metres per second!
Isn't 'fortnight' a British/Commonwealth term? :P

Oh... the fun... LOL
