How about this then.
I used to do a half hour communte when I lived in Edmonton and I would keep it
up until there was snow. One year it got down to -20 Celcius before it snowed
and I found that my glasses stayed clear until I stopped at an intersection
when the lenses frosted up immediately. I could see nothing through them and
would peer around and under them and look for green and red smudges though the
frost to tell me what the light was doing. I started off completely blind but
the moving air would have the lenses clear before I reached the other side of
the intersection.
It's obviously luck and not brains that has kept me alive.
