I was in Edmonton a few years ago visiting a friend and the last night we were there a bunch of us went out for dinner, it was -59C with the windchill factor, there are no words to explain that.
Before I retired I worked with the police Underwater Recovery Team, we used to do ice dive training with the Canadian Military in Quebec every winter. It was routinely -40C, I won't say you get used to it but you manage to function and get the job done......I now completely hate winter though.
I think its too cold to sit in my hot tub today which is one of the few pleasures I get this time of year.
