We do sled dog tours, this was the first time we had such a temperature during this overnight trip. When it is -20 or warmer, it isn't so bad.

    If you're moving and it's not windy -20 doesn't sound that bad. -35 sounds pretty brutal. -20 would also be pretty rough if it's windy.

    I'm a yank whose been stuck between daily highs of 0 F (-17 C) and 15 F (-10 C) for the past month. It's always amusing shoveling my driveway in the evening after the kids are asleep and I start taking off layers due to body heat + sweat despite it being properly cold. I can't imagine trying to dress appropriately where you can't easily retreat inside and try again if you got it wrong the first time. I imagine that sweat is the enemy when you're out in the elements like that.
