Nowhere near the Arctic Circle and it is currently -32C/-26F this morning add the wind chill and it's -38C/-36F. Been that way going on 2 weeks now. Our usual winter cold snap. Normally the temperature in February is around -12C/10F.

Yes, if it is damp out it does seem colder and gets into your bones. Add a high wind to that and it is even worse. The coldest I have felt in Canada was in the winter in Montreal. The temp was down to what we usually get in NW Onatrio but it was damp and the wind was up. A crisp clear sunny winter day is much preferred.

Well, weather report I just checked said Thunder Bay is -20°F with a latitude of 48.3809° N which looks to be below the UK. Arbitrarily I checked London which is at 51.5074° N, and.it was 34°F. That's a pretty big difference.
Mid Wisconsin:
-18F. -28C

Add into that elevation. My house for example is 54 feet above sea level. There is more air in the atmosphere at this elevation than say Denver, the mile high city. More air means it will hold more water molecules which exacerbates the effects of the humidity. Go to New Orleans in the summer if you really want to feel the effects of humidity on heat since some of it is actually below sea level. Also the football field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at the University of Florida where the Gators play is near or below sea level plus it is in a bowl AND has real grass which is watered regularly. That's why they call it The Swamp (plus the whole alligator reference and all that). Those teams from higher elevation playing there must feel like they are drowning in the air in the fall when it will still be 90°+. LSU on the other hand probably has no trouble at all there.
