There are only a few places on Earth that get down to -80 F also. The
coldest I'm aware of here is -60 F and that's enough. It gets hard to keep
vehicles operational under those conditions. I've hunted at -40 and skied
at -25 but that's too cold to be much fun. When doing photography at those
conditions keeping the camera inside a coat most of the time helps. Remote
battery packs are a necessity for motor drives. Breath control is important
too as it is easy to ice up a cold viewfinder by breathing on it. Better to
bring your subject matter inside and warm her up in front of the fireplace.

By the by, you know what the big activity is in Sudbury on a Saturday night?
You sit around and listen to the town rust.
