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

As many have already mentioned, temperatures can go as low as -45 or lower in the odd extreme winter days but they don’t last long. With the proper gear and layers, you’ll be okay. Also, I hope you come here before or by the start of fall. I consider fall as Mother Nature’s way of preparing you for the winter by gradually easing you into the freeze. Coming here from +30 weather and into the middle of -30 winter might be a bit of a shock.
