I remember listening to this earlier this summer and was appauled at the behaviour of the psychologist, and how the couple just laughed it off. Geez... these days it'd be the basis for a HUGE lawsuit. I haven't listened to it since then but I do remember the 'rich' environment and having stronger than usual mental images no doubt due to the sound effects and descriptive dialogue.

As far as the snow goes, I can imagine some pretty intense storms from having lived in the far north in remote fly-in reservations for 5 years and travelling throughout the far north for 3 more years after that in tiny planes.

The coldest I have ever experienced with the wind chill factor was -86C, about -122F :xmas: (I think it was something like -46C with 70km/h winds... or -50F with 45mph for those of you still dealing with imperial units - threw off the imperialist monarchy but kept the units of measure... go figure)

anyway - a fun episode, will make sure to pay attention to the sound effects when I listen to it again.
