You haven't been somewhere really cold until your nose hairs freeze on your first breath outside. You haven't been somewhere really cold until the condensation on your glasses freezes before you can clear it. And you haven't been somewhere really cold until you swim in water that is steaming through a hole in the ice.
Okay, I only watched the last part, while visiting the Chinese city of Harbin. While I was wearing five layers, they were wearing speedos. While I was dancing from foot to foot because the cold seeped through the soles of my shoes, one fellow was doing a head stand and situps on the ice.
These folks are not wimps.
