You Canadians are great folks but you exaggerate the temperature. My
friends in Vancouver complain bitterly when temps approach "0" by which
they mean a mere 32.

Although you are correct in saying that those in Vancouver complain at
0C, as do those in Seattle, you ought to check the weather records of
Winnipeg (Winterpeg as we Canadians call it) and Anchorage.

http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/misc.php?page=climlist -38 F Anchorage

-54F Winnipeg

Having said that, under -10F you put on all the clothes you have so
you have to take a run at doorways, and it's still cold, so the
difference between -38 and -54 isn't that big a deal. ;-) You could
die either way.
