Well, it matters if you're using kelvin...

bit nippy

For the most part, no, as that's just shit that happens every year in the Canadian prairies... Most parts of Canada have a few -30c days a year...

-30 is pretty normal in Alberta through the winter. It’ll even drop to -40 for a week or two a year. People mostly stay inside, and they plug in their cars so their engine blocks don’t freeze. Cities usually invest heavily in snow plows since they use them so much each year, and everyone has snow tires. There are lots of indoor places to walk around, and downtown Calgary even has a series of “Plus 15s” which are tunnels from one building to the next, about 15 feet off the ground.

And they complain that the west coast is too rainy to leave.

Only if it's snowing a lot. Otherwise you just bundle up and try not to go outside for more than a couple minutes.

No the kids have to go to the coal mines too great the burner.

When it's like -50c with the windchill, social things are pretty shutdown, but businesses don't close. School buses don't run, because they don't want to be held liable for kids freezing to death.

When you are risking death by going for a walk, you don't go out unless you need to.

There’s dozens of us!

Even last week it was like -24 with wind chill. Absolutely brutal.

That look says "What is this shit, we need to move."

Ugh please smooch yer dog for me because he is too cute!

Haha! Such an adorable picture!

That sounds absolutely miserable. I know someone who used to live in Alaska and they said you could throw a hot cup of coffee into the air and the liquid would freeze before it even hit the ground. That sounds ridiculous to me, but after reading your comment, I'm starting to believe.

In my area, the coldest I've experienced is ~5F (-15C) and it's usually above freezing, so I'm used to running outside to grab the mail or whatever in shorts. Then I went to my sister's house and it was -13F (-25C) and tried doing the same. So much regret.
