-30 is pretty normal in Alberta through the winter. It’ll even drop to -40 for a week or two a year. People mostly stay inside, and they plug in their cars so their engine blocks don’t freeze. Cities usually invest heavily in snow plows since they use them so much each year, and everyone has snow tires. There are lots of indoor places to walk around, and downtown Calgary even has a series of “Plus 15s” which are tunnels from one building to the next, about 15 feet off the ground.
And they complain that the west coast is too rainy to leave.
