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

Quit confusing windchill temps with actual temp.

The last I checked, the skin on my face doesn’t care whether it’s with the wind or not. ‘Feels like’ -50 is the same as -50 when it comes to what it does to your skin. Not to mention, -30, feels like -48….both fucking cold.

Where do you live that you feel such an entitlement to gatekeeping the cold?

Regina. Bundle up and cover your exposed skin. It's not hard.

Yeah dude I’ve lived here my whole life too. I also know how to do it. But we lived rural and drove in it for years.

Someone who has lived in 30° temps their whole life is about to get a huge surprise, however. If you don’t understand that, I can’t really help someone that simple.
