Yep. During the wedding I attended on the top of Whistler Mountain in August
of this year, the wedding party was virtually blanketed by "Scotch mist,"
basically what the inside of a cloud looks like. It was probably +10 Celsius
(about 50 Fahrenheit). OM-4 locked up *real* good -- I switched batteries to a
new set (which unlocked it) and kept going.
