That place sounds brutal, but humans have adapted!
Good thing we are going to spend hundreds of billions on preventing the temperature from rising a couple of degrees!
We live in the SoCal desert. Went out tonight and it was down to 60 degrees. I wore several layers and a thermal vest.
In the a.m. I put sweaters on my dogs if it’s below 50 degrees.
I wouldn’t mind taking some of that cold and snow off their hands.
Bad place to open an ice cream shop.
I bet there are no Jimmy Buffet fans there?
Has any of that promised el nino come your way yet?

Far north, and well away from any body of water than might bring a warming current/wind. The kind of place you don’t visit without your Ton-Ton and a light saber, I think.
I live in Ontario, about 100 miles north of the border. If it gets much below 30 (F), I’ll think about wearing socks with my sandals, and even put on a light coat if I’m going outside for more than 15 minutes. If one concedes too much at such mild temperatures, one isn’t going to be comfortable at -40, by which time one does need a decent coat and at least one extra layer.
I bet there ain’t no stinking moslem scum living there.

Funny, I have a 1966 toyota landcruiser. Neither the top nor doors have been on it since 1999. I put the windshield down most of the time. Drove all across town today, part of which in a light snow flurry with just a sweatshirt, and that is totally normal. Was in chicago two days ago working, and the temperature got up to 50, and I stripped my jacket off because it was feeling downright tropical
When asked about the disaster of climate change extending the summer months by three days and allowing turnips to grow there, residents just responded that they will just add them to their meat soup.
I'm just biting my tongue.
How do locals deal with the extreme cold? “Russki chai, literally Russian tea, which is their word for vodka,” Chapple told the Weather Channel.
...
That’s also how Russians deal with extreme heat, and everything in between.
Spoken like a true Canuck.
Wait until you get older. You will dress differently than you describe.
It was 77 in Memphis today. It’ll get cold after it rains tomorrow, though.
SPA 90-
That’s cold!
