yea we can't stay out side long in 20 below mostly if the wind is blowing and I remember my first winter here my kids had a great time the first 40 below day they would take a cup of hot coffee out side and throw it in the air it would never hit the ground it disappeared. Left my extension cord out to plug my car in that night , next morning started the car to go to work went to wind the extension cord up and put it away, no it was stiff, no winding just snap crackel pop. Yea it can be fun and it can be bad. we all make it in where we live
