dang, that is cold! we havent had it that cold for a few years here in Finland...this year our coldest has been around 5F's(-15C's, that is), but i hear that a few decades ago it went as low as -49F(-45C)!!! Dang, it must have sucked getting out of the house!
Back in 1986 I was in Moscow (USSR) and then a week in Amsterdam and it was -40F (someone told me that F and C meet around that point). All I know for sure is it was miserably cold and going out was a challenge. Buses sometimes stopped working, even the subway shut down in Moscow for a day! Your breath froze when it left your body and even my eyes froze shut where the breath froze on them! UGH!
