    I’ve experienced -50c where I live, it’s typically only for a few days per winter but those days are absolutely terrible. It literally hurts to breathe when you’re outside and you can feel your nose freezing up, and your eyelashes freeze shut if you blink too long or too much.

    Even a quick 5 minute walk is excruciating. It’s always a good reminder of my mortality to be outside in that weather, being locked out of warmth would be a quick death sentence.

      Yep, we do get those occasional -40C days every few winters. You put it well, it’s a good reminder ones mortality and that we really shouldnt have left the savanna, to be totally honest.
