    What’s your definition of “few”? I used to work outside in the Ottawa region until 2020 (which is known to be a pretty fucking cold region) so I was exposed to it and -30c days (actual temperatures, not windchill) happened maybe 10 or 15 times a year… At night though, we would go down to -30c more often than that and it was a pain to work in…

      I’m in and around that area now, I was taking into account wind-chill. Without wind-chill, I suppose -30 and below isn’t nearly as common as I made it out to be.

      Although in north-western Ontario, it at least used to reach that in February quite often. Definitely feels colder in the capital region with the dampness.

      Working at night at -30 sounds terrible, sorry you had to endure that.
