Eastern Canada. To be fair that's the wind chill, I think the physical temp is going to only be -20 to -22. Got down to -50 overnight about three weeks ago with the wind, that's the coldest I've ever experienced and I hope I don't ever again.

That's mental. I've only ever been to Canada in the summer, but it was to the Cold Lakes where you only got about 4 hours of darkness a night lmao. Even then the air felt fresh, certainly not warm. I'd hate to think what a winter is like let alone -50 lmaoooo.

I've also been down to Antarctica a few times during the summer, 0 degrees there you're still in a singlet because it's so dry you just don't feel the cold. -15 might warrant some kind of long sleeve but it's definitely the wind that kills you when it starts blowing lol. I'm quite happy with todays 20°C though lmao

-50 is wildly below average for us where I live. It regularly ranges from +10 to -30 ish in the dead of winter but probably usually stays around -8. I live in the ocean though so the wind and the humid nature make it feel worse sometimes and gets you could right to your bones if you aren't dressed properly. It also gets up past +35°c at the height of summer often with a lot of humidity on top of that, we have quite a lot of variability in the seasons! I like all our seasons and enjoy being outdoors unless it's below -30 with the windchill or above +32 unless it's super humid! That being said I wouldn't mind +20 tomorrow haha.
