Just about to start work outside this morning. This is the temp and a thought occurred. I have a chest freezer in an unheated part of my house. It is set to -18c. So on a day like today, does it act as a heater???? The kind of questions one has living in Lapland……

  1. Well, it has been relatively easy winter now. I am not sure 100% how is Lapland, but in many places not much cold in this winter.

  2. Heh. That is cold even for Finland. Coldest i ever had was -41c in Kuopio when i was a kid. Sounds weird, but i like to see these numbers, when all the last years have been some bullshit +2c stuff lol.

  3. But absolutely I feel you. But maybe this is just the peak. Some months to spring..

  4. Just in case you’re genuine about the question about the freezer:

    No, the freezer doesn’t have any heating. When the temperature goes over whatever threshold you set, it starts cooling.

    If the temperature in the freezer is below the threshold, the freezer just doesn’t cool.

  5. When outside is -28 and you set your freezer to -18 that’s what you call a radiator, I guess 🥲
