My record is -8F
. It's really not that bad when it's not windy out. Otherwise I just take the extra time to walk.
A refresher of what you need to survive a Canadian winter without a car:
- snowmobile helmet (instead of a toque. That way your entire face is shielded from wind) used a helmet several times 2 years ago when it was -40F out and I had to walk from my parked car to my university classes.
- a winter coat with a fleece liner
- thin 'kids' gloves with winter mittens over top (so your hands don't freeze right away when you fumble for keys, etc.)
- insulated ski-pants
- winter boots
