Erich. In Gomel I went for a walk in what I believe was -30C weather. I was well dressed with a heavy leather jacket and jeans and sweat pants shoes cap and gloves ect. After about 1/2 hr it seemed to be getting to my legs and hands. My face was numb even with the scarf. There was a wind but not really bad. I don't think a person in light cloths would last long in that.
