It is like the cold up north. Nowadays it is a big deal with ultra-cold temps seemingly leading every newscast, but back in the day we'd check the thermometer in the mornings: if it was -20 or so it was "cold" and anything below that didn't matter. It was just more of the same. Some mornings it was below -40. How much below we didn't know because mercury freezes and breaks the thermometer at that temperature.
People obsess about things like that and media merely feeds the frenzy. Cold--hot--take sensible precautions and don't let it control your life.

You are right. When the temperature gets below/above a certain point, it really doesn't matter. For me it was about 10 below (in Minnesota). If my car would start and there wasn't too much of a danger of black ice then it was business as usual. I hope to never have to live in that again. I'll take the heat any day of the week.
