10 below F is approx 23 below C.
It's not the heat it's the humidity = it's not the cold it's the wind. :)
My wife once asked me why we live in this weather. She laughed her head off
( exageration ) when I replied that it was because we were born here.
You do get used to it. When I was a teenager and it was forty below in real
degrees, a jean jacket and a t-shirt were okay. While I normally wear a
leather jacket these days, I switch to a parka when it gets close to 20
below. It's a lot easier when you keep moving. It becomes hell when you're
standing around supervising kids.
