I believe Edmonton gets the lowest temperatures in Canada, rivaling even places on Baffin Island.

Do you ever get "ice fog", 124?

I was in Goose Bay Labrador many years ago, playing at the US Air base, and one evening we weren't allowed to go outside unless we had something to cover our nose and mouth, as the ice particles in the fog would rip the lungs out of you.

I have friends who worked out west and say the winters are brutal...you can get frostbite in a very short time, and not even realize it;'s happened, until you get back inside in the heat again.
