You don't know cold until you've lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, where I live. Especially this morning, December 31st! The North Pole had beach weather compared to us!

You don't know cold until.....

No wonder people call it "Winterpeg"!
It's gone down to around -20°C here, but that's abnormally cold. We haven't had much of a winter yet - temperatures have been up around 6°-9° during the day, though I'm sure that'll change soon enough.

Wow. I don't think I could handle it being that cold. I am a wuss when it comes to the cold weather.
Oh my goodness, I don't known how you all handle those frigid temperatures!! I'm cold just looking at that forecast!
I can't handle it; I just can't handle it. Rick always says that people who like the cold don't have to go outside to deal with it.
I don't know how you handle it. One time, back in the mid-90s, we had an insane (to us) frigid streak. And our lows were like -26 F for two days straight. We never got our of the minuses for two days. It was just ridiculous. And we had a ton of snow that year, too. Our yard looked like a lunar landscape with the way the snow got blown around. We were parking at the bottom of the driveway and we had a one-person width tunnel dug from the bottom to the top of the driveway.
I know that our high this coming Friday is to be something like 15 degrees. It won't be fun walking, that's for sure. I could not handle sustained temps as low as what you deal with.

Brrr, that's cold. I'm from Ontario, it's -9 feels like -14 here and that is way too cold for me. Overnight tonight, it's going to be -15 feels like -27.
I haven't even gotten out of bed yet, but the weather site says it's -4 here and it won't get above zero today. . .I have to go find a celsius converter. . .it says that -4 fahrenheit is -20 celsius. So a little warmer than yours, but still colder than the north pole, LOL. Ugh, I don't want to get out of bed. . .
I just looked at the long-term forecast and tonight's low is going to be -17 (-27c) and the HIGH next Monday will be -10 (-23c). Ugh ugh ugh.

Here is a link to a metric/standard converter. I have it set on temp, but as you will see, it will convert volume, length, etc. You can even convert Light years into millimeters.

That sounds like you may have been in our favorite spot of Colorado - Gunnison.
Holy moly!!!
It's 39 degrees here and I'm about to freeze to death.....
We woke up on the Texas coast to 42°F (5°C) .. but we're headed up to 63°F (17°C) so I can't complain!

Ooops sorry. I forget that a few places don't know Celsius. Here is an online conversion:

8 degrees (-15 C) and fresh coat of snow! 
I don't know how anyone can deal wtih temps like that. I live in NW Ohio, and it's just way too cold for me here.
I bet that is the winter we actually had no school because it was below -40. I was living in Upstate New York at the time. A couple parents in the neighborhood had minivans and they'd park at the bus stop and let all us kids sit in them to keep warm. One day my friend and I were late so we were running to the bus stop; her eye watered and the tear streak froze right to her cheek.
Weather like that makes me want a nice pellet stove or something to use for backup heat! I think it's supposed to be very cold here Friday; in the 20s with wind. DH will be dressing in layers for work for sure!!
It's 65 right now here in Dallas. I had the little hot rod out for a ride, and it doesn't have any heat in it.
