Like elocs mentioned (we live in the same town), there are plenty of people who work outdoors year round. There are also plenty of popular winter sports and activities - snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, ice fishing, and even hunting and going to football games can be quite cold! But with proper clothing, it's no different than anything else And yeah, nobody breathes through a tube.
I was thinking of the breathing tube in -60F. Maybe that is not a very common temperature. It sticks in my mind for some reason, maybe it was a wind chill temperature and not an actual temp.
