Subzero temperatures in Newcastle, England?

How about -40 Celsius, throw in a wind chill for about -55 Celsius to -65 Celsius. In the winter you have to listen to the local radio station for weather warnings. The DJ will announce how long it will take before exposed skin freezes. If you shut your car off to get gas, you'll never get it started again so you just leave it running. Salt on the roads? Nope...it just freezes...you have to use sand. When the temp gets up to about -15, then it's T-shirt weather!
