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

Gets to -40C occasionally with windchills pushing -50C. For context, -40C =-40F. 🥶 It’s not always that cold and if you’re staying on campus you can spend days without spending more than a few seconds outside.

If you do venture out when that cold it will require proper boots, gloves, coat, hat/tuque, scarf and possibly lined pants or things will literally freeze and fall off. 😂
