Note from Dad : temperature was dropping as the sun went down , wind chill was high giving a lower temperature, the clothing was enhanced for the lower temperature to allow Jake and Evie to have fun and remain safe in the temperature's , the temp dropped to -6 without the wind chill factor, later that night the temperature dropped to -14C without the wind chill factor,
