Makes even driving a car a bit of a concern... if you end up stranded for a couple of hours, things could be difficult (eg. outside the city, or even if you have to walk a few blocks and don't have skin protection for frostbite). I always have a "kit" that includes appropriate clothing, candle (for heat), and make sure that I have a cell phone on me.

Sounds cold. Our windchill is only minus 40 C. Snowshoeing this morning has not been too bad where the trail runs through the forest. In the spots where we are exposed to the (rather strong) wind off Shagawa Lake, we moved very quick. Froze my scarf to my moustache. Back to the lodge now for breakfast and hot coffee. We'll eat soon as our faces thaw.
Had planned to make a fire and eat on the trail, but sitting still for that long just didn't seem like a good idea. Been so realtively warm this winter (to date) that we've never really gotten aclimatized to cold weather.

-40, you are welcome to it guys. -5 over here, and the whole country would grind to a halt. (Scotland excepted, where they seem to have got the hang of cold weather).
