Hi Tom,

Nice pic. Made me shiver!

Air temperature of 10F (-12C). Leicas don't have a vascular system so shouldn't suffer from wind chill. Were you carrying the camera inside your parka or whatever, or had it been out in the air for long enough for its innards to stabilise at the ambient temperature?
