I've been to Sweden in the winter and stood outside all day in temps of -22c and upwards. With the right clothing and a huge fire going it's surprisingly comfortable 
It is a different kind of cold but your breath freezes on your clothes and all the moisture in your nose freezes which feels a bit weird

Just been for a run in the snow. Hardly Artic but it's definitely a bit on the nippy side! Really enjoyed it though. Slow due to it being so slippy but felt a bit like the Alps - but with "proper" air to breathe!

Being pedantic, the "Feels Like: N/A", that means they haven't factored in the windchill, possibly as it's not windy, or that it's not strong enough to make a difference (looks like it's SW @ 4km/h at present).
It does get a mite cold up there in Manitoba. We're at a balmy -4C, though with the wind it's -11. Looks like it's going to drop to -11 overnight (-21 with windchill). Currently snowing, and has been since 7 this morning, got a good 2cm on the roof of the car.
It is very true it's a dry cold over here, and that does make a big difference. -10 isn't that bad here, but in the UK, if it's -2 then I am very, very cold indeed, as it's a damp cold.

We all whinge when we have a few "cold" days here, if it goes to -10 everyone is nscared stiff.
At our property in France, in the Limousin, -15 is regular at night, in winter, and I've seen -18, and it's NOT that high up, only 450m.

So, three explorers are discussing the coldest places they've ever been.
First guy says, "Coldest place I ever went to, when I spat the spit had turned to ice before it hit the ground".
Second guy says, "Coldest place I ever was, when I had a p1ss it just turned into an icicle on the end of my **** straight away. I had to break it off."
Third guy says, "Coldest place I ever was I woke up one morning and there was a brown stain on the sheet. I held the sheet over a candle and it went "PPPPPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I was watching the local Calgary news last night and they were showing a clip of London under a few inches of snow. All the presenters were laughing like hell at the pictures and shaking there heads at the same time .
I've posted this before but was taken just outside Calgary just before Christmas . Its right though -10 here feels like +1 back home

I've experienced -22 with wind chill bringing it down to -32 when snowboarding in Banff Canada and that was cold enough to turn your wall nuts to the size of raisins. Dry cold is weird, though the temp was -6 on bright sunny days, I felt fine with just a t-shirt on some days.
Though its not a place of high population, but the people out at Vostok Station in Antarctica have endured temps of -89 degrees C!! I can't imagine how cold that feels.

I think that the point to make is that with UK night time temperatures the vast majority of the time if left outside of your home overnight you would be cold but you would not die.
However looking at the above posts there are places wher you probably would!
