Just gotta wear layers and it's fine, if ya go out in -40 wind chills without a face mask yeah it's gonna be cold.
I could go outside and not even be cold in this.....face mask, tuque, glasses, 2 layers+ a winter coat, long pajamas on your legs along with your pants (snowpants if you got em) and you're laughin.
Unless you're just a bitch then no amount of clothes can help ya at that point.
What in the name of poutine and ketchup chips is a tuque?

I ordered something off ebay from a guy in Michigan. He sent me a message saying the shipping would be delayed because the post office was closed. I told him to take his time and be safe, then sipped my cold beverage in my short-sleeve shirt. There was a solid week in the Phoenix valley where it was cold enough to condense a bunch of water on my car, and even a couple days when it froze and I had to scrape it off. If I had parked closer to the house it wouldn't have been a problem. But it looks like those days are already over for the year. Something to remember for next year.
So my school (I’m a teacher in Illinois) had yesterday and today off because of the cold, and they decided to hold a “You Know It’s Cold When...” photo and caption contest. Here is my submission from last night.
You know it’s cold when your carbon monoxide alarm goes off at 3:14 in the morning, causing you to frantically get your wife and kids into a car you quickly ran outside and started. In the chaos, your wife tells you there’s water in the laundry room. Then you call 911, are told they’re already there, and see the lights of an ambulance. You go to flag it down, but they don’t see you, so you chase them down two streets, but they still don’t see you and have pulled too far away, so you start trudging back but are really gassed. Then a police car drives past, and you’re in the middle of the road in the middle of the night flagging them down in your winter coat and pajama pants. They stop, and in between gasps of air you tell them about the CO monitor going off, and they tell you to hop in the back. So you ride with them, and you’re told it was a burst pipe in the building (not in our apartment, thank goodness) which they shut off, but they’ll check to make sure. So you go with them inside and find out your apartment is clear of CO, and you need to call maintenance to get the pipe fixed and your CO alarm replaced. So you get your wife and kids back in the apartment, and then you realize that your extra set of keys, which you had grabbed to make sure you had them, were no longer in your pocket. You realize they must have fallen out while you were running after the ambulance, so you turn on your phone flashlight and start walking. You find them relatively quickly, which was a huge relief, and then, when you get back to your apartment, you call maintenance and leave a message because it’s the middle of the night and no longer an emergency since the water is off and the alarm is off. Then, because your heart is still calming down and the adrenaline is taking a while to leave your body, you remember there’s a “You Know It’s Cold When...” photo contest at your place of employment, so you tell the story, even if the accompanying picture is rather underwhelming (it’s the now somewhat recessed water that was in our laundry room). You’re also really glad there’s no school tomorrow because you’ll hopefully be able to nap since you were woken up in the middle of the night.
Side note anyone else cringe when they read "polar vortex"? It always gets to me when weather reports try to sound "cool" with their naming schemes.
It's a real technical term. We laymen just haven't heard it until about five years ago, because this kind of thing used to stay at, you know, the poles.
Yeah, that isn't some weather-channel-marketing term.
It is a genuine name for a physical phenomenon at each pole.
It is always present, but when it gets unstable, it wobbles and expands in a way that sweeps down and drives a bunch of really cold air to places that don't usually experience it to that extent.
Huh, I looked it up and you guys are right. Like you said I only heard of it a few years ago and assumed they were just trying to be edgey.
Agh, what was that one movie-- it was a "mother nature/disaster/cautionary tale" movie-- that people were running from the cold that literally freezes people in their tracks, like literally running from it? It had a bum that stuffed his jacket with paper to keep warm...?
For some reason, this weather reminds me of that movie. lol

I just remember it had Dennis Quaid.
The Day After Tomorrow, maybe?
Fortunately, you can't lose enough heat to cold air quickly enough for "freezing in your tracks" to be a thing.
(they also should have had everybody suffering from constant nose-bleeds from how fucking dry it would be )

Nooooo... Even though arch just disproved being frozen in your tracks... that movie still freaked me out a little. hahaha
Of course, I say this while living in Florida, the only state with a orange color on the map at the moment. lol

In Canada, tuque /tuːk/ is the common name for a knitted winter hat, or watch cap; the spelling "touque", although not recognized by the Canadian Oxford Dictionary, is also sometimes seen in written English

get outta here with your Canadian Oxford Dictionary
I've normally seen it spelled "toque" like the original French word as when referring to the hat chefs wear. Don't recall seeing "touque" before, but it seems like the way Brits would intentionally alter toque just to be annoying.
I went for a walk outside yesterday and the day before (at -14°F), although I skipped Tuesday because it was too windy. It's not too bad as long as you dress for it. I had no problem at all. Plus, by the time it's that cold, it doesn't even feel cold anymore. It was more interesting being outside under conditions I knew I might not experience again for many years, if ever.
This morning, my wife and I went out to scrape and start our cars. When we went back inside, she said to me, "It's really not that cold out." I checked the weather, and it said it was 2*F and felt like -4*F. Amazing how that feels warm after the past few days.

Oof.
If you're going outside, don't talk. Or breathe.
It's great when your nose freezes shut and your eyelashes freeze together
