I lived there for 3 winters and say -40 ( remember both scales meet at -40) and yep it's dam cold, if your car is not plugged in with a battery blanket and a strong batter , you will not get it started and the AAA/CAA wait time is usually 5 to 6 hours ....
If it's any reward it's a dry cold.... as compared to here in Eastern Canada I am 3 minutes from the Bay of Fundy( salt water) it's always damp here...Cheers,
Gary

I live in Winnipeg now. And yes, it was cold. I was walking down the street to get to work for about 5-7 minutes and and then my legs were numb at that point.
The coldest i felt here was 3 years, just after my wedding (around this time too) it hit -45C or -48C an windchill of -54c i think it was. Now that was cold. My eye lashes were freezing together, my nose, i could feel it im lungs. That was an interesting experience.
Walking to the bus stop and I had my lunch in my bag, and my green apple was now a shade of brown.
I just added some pictures. Grunfeld Im sure you remember the Winters. Here is a couple I took on New Years Day, after we got a dump of snow.
