Is it true in freezing parts along the Yukon you will leave skin or extremities behind if they come into?

Question

contact with metal?

Answer 1

Yes. Not just the Yukon. -30C temperatures are not uncommon throughout the country

Often the only way to get unstuck is to get someone to urinate on the body part that is stuck.

So you can see its rather important not to succumb to the temptation to touch your tongue to cold metal.

Answer 2

No.,but in extreme winter conditions bare skin can freeze in less than a minute.To have your skin stuck to metal in the cold,there needs to be moisture on your skin.
