The coldest i put my spikes on last year was -27C the snot freezes in your nose! I found oaks become death traps when felling out big tops. when its cold like that i wear a set of ski goggles - keeps the snow and wind out as well as the saw dust, and a neck rag tube thing that can be pulled up to make a balaclava that fits fine under the helmet. I managed to get hold of some decent seal skin gloves but they arent so hot for pruning but dismantles are awesome - you got to take care of your hands because its in these kind of conditions you greatly increase your risk of getting Vibration damage - Get a good rope bag so your rope aint in the snow so much. and clean and dry your kit, dont leave it in a van out side over night! and carry a back up friction knot on your harness coz if your knot freezes - it wont work!

my theory is only work in t shirt conditions, if you cant, then stay at home and read threads about folk having a bad day in the snow and cold.
