I don't think people here know how to dress for or handle that kind of weather --------80% humidity and 100F, no problem ----but that's cold.
10F is really not that bad for Ontario. I've lived up north, had a snow shovelling job to help with the residence (dorm) fees and cover the textbooks. The residence was at the highest point on campus, at the top of a wind-blown hill and it got below -40 (either scale) up there. Took a lot of moonshine to get me through that job.
As long as I'm not spending much time outside on the plus side of the Fahrenheit scale, jeans, jeans, skateboarding shoes, light gloves, a snowboarding jacket and a light touque are enough. Once it starts getting toward the -40 range, I have to worry about heavier gloves, thicker touques, neck-warmers and long johns.
