Oh my! Can you really feel a difference between -10 and -30? I mean doesn't it just come a time where cold is to cold no matter what Temp?
Come to our city! We were in the mid 60's during the day and 30s at night....
And no... Thats not negative degree's! I would trade a kidney almost for a drop of rain tho!

Once it hits around 0 it doesn't make much difference in temperature. The main thing is how long skin can be exposed to the cold. Frostbite and exposure are a major danger when the windchill gets that low.
Mid 60's, I think we may hit those again sometime in June.... starts packing :D
