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

  Wow wee, that's SURE some kinda cold!! I'd never survive those low temps!! I'm from London UK and the whole country comes to a standstill when we have a little snow flurry, which is normally Feb or March. Many years we don't get any snow at all, but the frosts are something else!! Plus I always feel like raiding the food cupboards when I'm cold. XXX
