True. Northern Ontario here. I was born and raised in Toronto, where a damp -10C + moderate windchill feels orders of magnitude colder than dry -40 and no windchill. The coldest I've been in was -52C (off an alcohol thermometer) and I was fine beyond my eyelids and nostrils crystalizing. That being said, I've been frost bitten a handful of times, each time, the temperature has been near freezing and damp. But at the end of the day, I'd gladly exchange locales down to the North Carolina/Tennessee area on a permanent basis. |

As a fellow Canadian from Québec, this is how I explain the degrees of coldness to people whom have never experienced it.
You know it's really cold out when your eyelids momentarily freeze shut when blinking due to the accumulated moisture on your eyelashes spontaneously freezing together.
