Hahaha... okay I guess if any of you decide to come up here, come in the summer

Really, after it gets to a certain point of cold, it never feels any colder lol. The difference between -25 and -30 or -40 isn't really noticeable. Sometimes it gets to -50 or colder with windchill, and the only difference is that your eyes start tearing and the tears immediately freeze to your face! If you blink, sometimes your eyelashes freeze shut LOL. I used to figure skate from when I was about 4 years old until I was 18. They were all unheated rinks and no matter how cold it was, I'd just be wearing my warm-up tights and skirt, a sweater, and some mini gloves. Years of that built up my resistance and my legs don't really feel cold much anymore.

We just keep blankets in the car, a charged cell phone, and winter tires are necessary! It's winter for basically 6 months here and life just goes on Unless I'm outside for a long period of time, like shovelling the driveway or going out ice fishing or snowboarding, I don't really dress up. I just wear normal shoes, jeans, t-shirt or sweater, and a jacket.
