That wasnāt a minus sign. It was a tilde. Which should mean about 37 degrees F today here the PDX OR Metro area.
My Dad and pulled a gas tank out of my car one winter while it was 40 below zero. Had to empty the gas out and then take it inside to thaw the ice out of it. That was miserable.
A couple of months ago I helped my son drop the manual transmission out of his 1995 GMC full size pickup. It was a miserable, rainy couple of weekends. No garage so we did the work in the alley behind the house.
I hateā¦ working on carsā¦

I like the white Christmas idea, I think I would be over it fairly quickly though, it never snows here, the last time I saw snow was in Tasmania.

I can handle cold.[1] Even if I donāt really like it. The heat with humidity just melt me.
Arenāt you in the mid-west Bread? Which to me equals heat, humidity, (in the summer) and no mountains. 
[1] Fun fact, when I was younger weād go up the Clackamas river and kayak the section from just above 3-Lynx Power Station to Bobās Hole. Sometimes it would be around 15 to 20 degrees. Snow on the banks and ice flows floating down the river with us. The first few minutes your hands would feel like they were on fire. Then they would go numb for the rest of the trip.

When I was little my Dad was stationed in St Marys Montana as the Hudson Bay Sub-District Ranger for Glacier National Park.
Weād always have power outages in the winter with a few weeks of well below zero weather. I remember candles and kerosene lanterns for light. Sleeping together in the living room in the 40 below zero bags next to the wood stove when the power was out. Plus Mom cooking on the Coleman stove.

interesting.
thereās quite a bit of latitude difference between you and Siberia (60* to your mid-40*). Iām sure with global circulation and how far south the jet stream comes during winter it probably plays a part in bringing those polar cell circulations to your part of the world
speaking of jet stream, check out this high octane song by the same band that would make āWalking on Sunshineā (and yes, thatās the same Katrina on vox, and rhythm guitar)
