Then you wouldn't like to live in Fairbanks? Strange things happen when it gets minus 40 degrees F (and C) below zero.
Machines stop working. Metal cracks. Propane gas freezes into unburnable liquid. Motor oil freezes into thick goop. Tires freeze into blocks.
The air turns solid. Exhaust fumes from the engines that are still running crystalize into tiny particles, creating a foul, gray ice fog that smothers the city for days on end.
Put a load of groceries in the trunk and they'll be frozen solid in 15 minutes.
And at the University of Alaska? It is a "thing" to get your photo taken in front of the temperature sign - wearing swimwear.
I was so highly thought of by the company I worked for that they would send me to Fairbanks in the winter -- and to Houston in the summer.
