I live in Northern Alberta, and -30 to -35 is not unusual.
We don't get into the -40s very often, maybe only for a week or two each winter.
Going outside can be done, but frostbite happens quickly if not dressed for it
Outside sports, walking, etc can be dangerous
Most people really don't go out if they don't have to. I sure don't!
Our cars have block heaters that you have to plug in to keep your block warm.
This will make you laugh:
Most people have electric starters for the cars. It seems funny to see an
entire parking lot full of running cars with no one in them
