When it gets to -24F out, aka you can get frostbite underneath clothes, you tend to say well lets just sit inside and do stuff or read/etc...

Cold isn't bad, cold+wind, that is the killer. I met a woman from socal that moved here recently. It was about 20F out and all I had on was a sweater. She looked like she was going to go for a recreation of Shackletons expedition. Granted I might be a bit crazy but cold really isn't that big of a deal. Look at the Buddhist monks that dry off wet towels on their shoulders in subzero weather.

But, if it keeps out the riffraff eh, I'll keep it.
