Our winters here aren’t much better. We hit -50C for 2 weeks last winter. The only benefit, I suppose is that we get a lot of sun during the winter, as we’re in a rain shadow.
When you step outside, your face hurts. And that’s if it’s not windy. Unless you’re really bundled up, it feels like you’re naked in the cold, and your clothes are like a makeshift tarp you’ve wrapped around yourself.
Ehh there’s not much difference between -6 and-18 you can get warm by doing whatever activity. Somehow -3 to +3 is the hardest to stay warm in. Too much moisture in the air. Below-18 is where the dry cold starts to be tough.

Where do you live? Siberia?
Canadian Prairies. Fukn cold 'ere b’y.
Damn, canada was my other guess (or greenland but like no one lives there)
That’s insane. I genuinely cannot imagine how cold that is.

Just take a deep breath!
Have experienced some -35°C not funny.
And I thought -6C was cold, fuck me.
To be fair, I honestly found that manageable with just a work uniform and an extra long sleeved shirt.

Yeah 0F is -18 and that’s when your Moses starts to stick together when you breath in.
You’re apparently better off swallowing your snot too, since it’s largely condensed water vapor from your own lungs and you’ll dehydrate slower.
