It can crispify your skin when it gets that nasty.. and more.
The air makes your lungs crackle and burn when you breathe it in too fast or hard.. icicles hang off your eyelids from your own perspiration after awhile and get frozen in place,, a mask is highly recommended and goggles and good insulated undies always help and wads of clothing. :-) I’ve been numbed but fortunately defrosted OK.
I’ve been out in the wind when it was just in the teens and it hurts your eyes. Mine start to water. I went out the other day to just do a quick shoveling off of our walk, it was about 1 degree, not much wind. I was out less then a minute, with my usual clothing on, nothing special. Yea, I know it wasn’t the brightest thing to do. By the time I got in the house my hands were hurting so bad, just aching. Wouldn’t take to long out in that to get frost bite.

That has got to be a life-affirming experience. I mean, we humans were not meant to endure temperatures like that. When we do, it's basically cheating death.
I would think that besting nature at that level must make you appreciate the most basic things about your existence.
I've never experienced cold that deep in all my life, so I have no reality on it at all.
Yep. The coldest I've experienced is -10. Eyes would water and the tears would freeze. And my dog would be trying to drag me out the door to 'play'. ;-)
