It basically turns it into a time function. At -41 you freeze that much faster. I grew up in the Icebox of the Nation, International Falls, Minnesota and experienced temps in the -30 to -40 range regularly. We just bundled up and went about our business as quickly as possible. Thankfully I saw the light and migrated to the banana belt of the Rocky Mountains. It's a balmy 16F above today!
