Canada Right Now: It is hard to overstate how big this thing is getting - this is a typical scene that is playing out at EVERY SINGLE highway overpass on our 400-series highways as well as the Trans-Canada Highway, and at each location, more drivers join the convoy. Very proud moment for us.

Anyone not familiar with just how cold -13° is, hue-mans go hyperthermic between 17-45 seconds, so... These are indeed Patriots!!
Yep, that is why up north you tend to find thicker coats and people find ways to stay warm. We bought a whole set of hand and foot warmers
Depending on how dry it is and how hard the wind is blowing, it's actually not that bad. This is especially true if the sun is out. Once you get past -25 it's another level. This is of course assuming that you're used to the cold
The worst I experienced was -35 + windchill. I had to walk about 15 blocks, I was going and eventually started getting tired. Looked at the snow bank and figured I could warm up covered in snow.
Then I slapped myself and told myself that I was being stupid and if I lied down that I wasn't going to get back up again.
Finally got home and it took about 2 hours under blankets before I stopped shivering.
I was staking claims in the NWT once and when I finished my portion I was exhausted. I laid down to rest while waiting for my colleague to meet up with me. When I woke up, the helicopter was landing to pick "us" up and I had an inch of fresh snow on me. My colleague had injured himself and was in the helicopter with broken ribs. If things had gone differently, I might not have woken up.
I'll never take a nap in the snow again.
Sounds like you got lucky.
Most of them know how to dress. That used to be my norm when ice fishing.
I can't even imagine.
Im sure that -13 is in C so it is 9 F. Cold for sure but not hypothermic in 17 seconds cold.
