[at-l] Cold & calories

[lthompson@xxxxxxxxxxx (Lilla Thompson)]

Thanks.  But I guess what I was really hoping for was something along the l=
ines of: for every x number of degrees (colder) doing x level of activity, =
you burn/need x # of calories to maintain  temperature/weight.  Sounds like=
 an impossible formula to work out, I know...

You can probably find some info on this on climbing sites but in really col=
d
weather the caloric demand goes way up.
