Seriously don't know how you guys live in those freezing conditions. I'll stick with our hot 30+C temperatures any day!

... about the same for me - 13 - but with wind chill, much cooler. But if you are dressed for it - insulation layers and a robust wind-weather-stop outside layer - it's actually OK - as long as you keep moving. Riding and rescuing SK- DOOs comes to mind ...
