Not to unusual where I live. We usually have a week or two, sometimes more where the temps are minus something. Usually getting to around -30 to -50 below or so. One year right before we moved here there was one day when with the wind chill factor it got to
-75.
It can crispify your skin when it gets that nasty.. and more.
The air makes your lungs crackle and burn when you breathe it in too fast or hard.. icicles hang off your eyelids from your own perspiration after awhile and get frozen in place,, a mask is highly recommended and goggles and good insulated undies always help and wads of clothing. :-) I’ve been numbed but fortunately defrosted OK.
I agree with you. I’m not that impressed with International Falls. I’ve been in Northern Maine at 50 below a few times. The locals simply go about their business, as I imagine they do in your area.
And you still moved in anyway? I shall call you Antifreeze Annie .. LOL
