It doesn't feel a whole lot different at -20 than it does at +20, it just feels like that a lot faster. I found out at that temperature, if I spit, it would bounce. I also did the saucepan full of water trick, some of it froze and some of it didn't. Boiling water would have frozen completely as it flashed to steam in the cold air. Yeah, I was a teenager. For science!
