Meh,
As long as you dress up and take your time it's not all that bad.
I walked the dog for 45 last night and was warmer than plenty of random september/october days when I take the dog out.
Just got back from another 45 and it was refreshing. Started the spare car, took it to get some milk, back home. Going to go to costco, hoping it'll be quiet due to he cold.
Edit: maybe I didn't quite get the thread right
It's so cold that. . . I have frost on my newly installed floor around the baseboard in the middle of my house! Wait, WTF, god damn stupid house. I swear I'm going to have to pull this dump completely apart. Probably another area that the builders forgot to put insulation in.

Forgot my laptop in my vehicle outside overnight.
A lengthy conversation with my help desk in the morning finally got its frozen ass moving again.
Lucky break since my tech lady had said the last time a few years ago that If I ever did that again, I would be buying the next one myself!!!

It's so cold here that when I closed my door after getting my mail this morning, the insides of my door handle shattered from the impact of my closing it. And now I can't open my door.

It's been so cold lately that going out to warm up my car today in -22 actually felt kinda refreshing, compared to the -30s its been.
You know its been cold when -22 actually feels kind of nice.

It's so cold, that downtown courier who walks everywhere with long hair was wearing pants and a light sweater rather than shorts and a tank top.

It is so cold that Mayor Nenshi has found a den and is hibernating for the rest of the winter. Thanks to the many food trucks roaming Calgary, he has the ultimate layer of fat to keep him warm.

It's so cold that bike couriers - who all have a chip on their shoulder - won't even take off their gloves to flip off vehicles who allegedly get too close to them.
It's so cold that the bike courier who is usually avoids corporate coffee outlets is first in line for a warm beverage. Hopefully none of their granola bike courier friends saw them exiting Starbucks.

That tonight when I saw one of my neighbours standing with their front door open I wanted to yell "hey close the damn door, we're not trying to heat up the whole neighbourhood!". It should be noted this was a separate building, and all of our units have furnaces and we all pay for our own heat.

EDIT: Oh sorry, I don't have my glasses I read as I'm so old that...
