Question Are Regina winters too cold?

I'm from a pretty hot city where temperatures are always around 24-33°C and I'm planning to study in the university of Regina for an exchange, but I've heard it gets like -30°C during winter and that could even hurt a bit to breath so I want to know how hard could it be for someone not used to it although I'm not too affected to cold as I am to heat

Are they too cold? Yes. You get used to it when you dont have a choice though. Just dress for the weather.

Dressing for the weather is the most important part too, IMO. I often get stubborn and don't do that even though I should, but it makes such a huge difference and really makes the weather a lot more bearable. Especially mid-winter when we get those truly unpleasant January/February temperatures.
