If they ever got a taste of -50F, which happens here on occasion, they would be having a rough time I would imagine. But when it gets around -20F we often get to see complete circular prisms around the sun with cardinal points that look like laser beams, and sometimes they mirror so that it looks like the glyph for Taurus. I have even seen a complete mirrored circle with a secondary outer circle around the primary prism. The sky is so amazing in severe weather.
