I’ve worked in cold worse than this outside all day. You know when you pee outside at -45F it freezes before it hits the ground.

Lived in the Yukon in the 60s, with weeks of -50, coldest about -64, with a steady wind. Couldn't ski or sled if it was colder than -35, as everything started to stick. We waited outside for the bus in that temp, often for an hour or so as it was hard for them to get the darn things started. Inside the house there was a line of frost from the window to the floor, and you couldn't see out unless you scraped the frost off the window. The only thing you could wear on your feet and not get frostbite were mukluks, preferably the smelly moose ones.
