When it is 30, or it has been 30 and my house retains heat, my sleep is often disrupted.
Extreme cold is just easier to manage - even easier than managing 30, which I agree isn’t even extreme heat - depending on the time of day/night.

Manage is an interesting word because I find it harder to manage in -30, especially with kids. It's not really about survival, it's about time. I have to do a ton more prep, getting kids dressed. It's harder to grab stuff with gloves or mittens like keys and stuff in your pockets/purse. You're continually dropping stuff and getting frustrated. If you wear glasses, they fog up when you go indoors.
And then everything is slow, driving is slow, walking is slow. So a quick trip to the pharmacy 1km away to pick up some medicine takes 3 times as long.
