When we moved to South Central Alaska (maybe 80 air miles due south of Anchorage, 12 years ago. We got a month of -20 - and no snow cover, so the ground froze to China. The first 3 years, we got -20s, and up to a week, several times, of -30 at night, -20 in day.
It's changed. We didn't hit -10 more than 2 nights, last winter.
In the older weather, our neighbors Chihuahuas went out - not very far and not very long! Then they'd burrow into the blankets on the couch!
You need to be in the interior - take Fairbanks (please, take Fairbanks!) to get -40, and it's rarer than it was. The far North's weather is strange and mild, now, ridiculously mild.
But to get back to incontinence: step out in that cold, not properly dressed, and it's a good way to suddenly give yourself the urge! That probably works at zero, in South Carolina!
Or like the old Snoopy cartoon: Charlie Brown get dressed for the weather by mom, all that complex winter gear and layers, gets outside, and says "Now I have to go!"
