Hi mark, glad I could put a smile on your face and a laugh in your day,

 There's hope for me on stage yet.

BIG, BIG SMILE!!!!

Simon, your post really made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

I just spent three days up in Portland Oregon where the temperatures hovered 
around 25 degrees, Fahrenheit, and I can tell you that to me, a resident of 
California, it felt like the surface of mars!!!  I haven't been that cold in 
quite a long, long time.  

However, I'm happy to report that all of my devices functioned as expected.  

Regardless, I'm glad to be back home.  (smile)

Mark

Ok,
Mark as interrsting and usefull as this article is, I have one major question 
about it.

How the hell do they know that the temperature of the city or area of the 
country they live in is colder than the surface temperature of Mars?

Last time I checked earthlings had not yet been to mars, Ok people have sent 
robots and other tools, But still  those devices can not confirm that the 
temperatures on Mars are warmer or colder than that here on earth,

 And I can't say I've ever met a martion that has come to earth and said they'd 
come for a warmer break from the cold as temps on the red planet,

When man kind gets to mars may be then I'll believe the statement.

How to keep your phone (and fingers) from freezing this winter By Luke 
Filipowicz, 5 Jan 2018

Although Christmas has come and gone and we are securely into 2018, many of us 
still have to deal with a few months of cold, snowy, and windy weather.
Using your phone outdoors can be tricky - and potentially dangerous - if you 
live in a city that can get colder than the surface of Mars (like I do).
Personal experience is the best experience Yes, I live in a city where it 
occasionally gets colder than the surface of Mars. Winnipeg - "Winterpeg" for 
the pun enthusiasts - has some pretty harsh weather during the winter months, 
and although we locals like to think it make us extra tough, it can really suck 
to use your phone outdoors during the cold months.
Last year, around this time, I was doing some social media work for a local 
minor hockey team and they were having an outdoor game as part of a fundraiser. 
I can't remember exactly how cold it was, but I can tell you I was wearing 
three sweaters, two jackets, three different types of pants, and about 3 pairs 
of socks; I was still cold. As the game was starting, I started snapping 
pictures with my DSLR, sending them to my iPhone, and posting on the teams' 
social media accounts.
Before the first period was even halfway over - less than 10 mins for those 
less sports-inclined folks - my fully charged iPhone 5S was at 10% battery life 
and I had gotten some mild frostbite on my fingers from using my phone.
It sucked.
The sub-zero temperatures aren't only bad news for your hands and fingers, but 
cold is no friend to your device's battery either. In fact, you can do some 
real damage to your iPhone's battery if you try charging it while it's cold. 
Here's a short and sweet guide to keeping your iPhone and hands warm this 
winter.
Protect your battery from the cold

/field/image/2017/11/outdoor-scene-winter-iphone-8-plus.JPG?itok=JWMWhri8"
width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-xlarge_wm_brw aligncenter 
image-xlarge"> Lithium-ion batteries are commonplace in many devices, 
and they're also the same type of battery that your iPhone uses. Without going 
down a technical rabbit hole, these batteries rely on a chemical reaction to 
produce power and charge; when they get cold, that chemical reaction slows 
down, causing your battery to perform poorly.
The easiest way to prevent the cold weather from negatively impacting your 
phone's performance is to keep your iPhone as warm as possible. If you plan to 
venture out into the cold this winter with your phone, do your best to keep it 
warm - especially if you're going out for a significant length of time. Try 
putting your phone into an inside coat pocket or under a layer or two to keep 
it nice and toasty when your life takes you into the winter wind!
Apple has a few handy tips for maximizing your battery's performance, and 
recently, the company explained why older iPhones can experience a slow down in 
performance due to cold conditions.
Never charge a cold battery

width="1600" height="1200" alt="" class="image-xlarge_wm_brw aligncenter 
image-xlarge"> If you do end up leaving your phone in the car one night 
or spending too long outside with your iPhone exposed to the elements, make 
sure you let it warm up before you charge it. I know it may be tempting to plug 
it in right away - especially if it's dead - but charging a cold battery can 
really screw it up. Give your iPhone sometime to warm up before you go plugging 
it into the wall.
Touchscreen gloves are lifesavers!

image-xlarge"> Last year, I bought my first pair of touchscreen gloves 
and I haven't looked back since. It has made winter so much more bearable by 
allowing me to answer important text messages, check what time the bus is 
coming, or call a cab all without freezing my fingers off.
There are plenty of styles of touchscreen gloves out there, and even though 
they may cost you a little bit of money, I promise you they are worth the price!
