What's the coldest weather you've experienced? I've worked outside in -9 C before, which was a very interesting experience (and definitely not something I'd want to repeat.)
That's it? 16F is the lowest you've been in? LOL.
It's not the coldest weather I've been in but I was working outside at the job I had in high school. Coldest weather I've been in is -10F/-23 C. Certainly not comparable to the upper Midwest. When it snows in Northwestern NC it's usually only 20-30 F (-1 to -6 C), and that's the coldest place I've ever lived.
