That is actually a common myth: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/fitn...

I also think that you wear different clothes and are more prepeared when it is -15.

Nah, he has no idea what he's speaking about.

It's not _just_ humidity. Rain just simply can't exist at -15C, so you can't get your clothes moist because it can only snow, and that snow is cold enough not to stick to you at all.

I am not even going to start on the fact that you can walk miles of snow and not get wet, while walking through miles of slush... Well, I hope you understand the distinction.
