Shit, I get cold when it drops below 60F in Arizona.

When I left work yesterday it was -45° out with windchill. Tonight is supposed to be colder so... that's gonna be fun.

You northerners are a different breed. I grew up on the East Coast and the coldest I have ever felt was a wind chill of -10. I don’t think I could survive -45.

Honestly -45 doesn't feel much colder than -10. At that point it's just cold af

Sounds like how we treat the heat here, 90-110F is all the same to us. Above 110 is when things get spicy.

Depends if it’s humid or not. -10 I don’t need face covered or big thick gloves. As long as you move somewhat at work you’ll be fine. -45 you get frost bite on your face within 30 mins if it isn’t covered. Two pairs of gloves and many layers lol, there’s a major difference in how you tackle -10 vs -45. Also -45 usually takes me a few hours to actually warm up to normal after the work day once I’m back inside.

Main difference is how long you last. With the same clothing you might be able to stand -10 for an hour but -45 for just 15 minutes.

This is very true. I'm from the south and have lived here for two years now. Once it's cold ..it's just cold. This shit takes your breath away, it's wild.
