-30C? Where in Canada are you? (I am guessing by your screen name).
I think 0C is something like 33F, so that's something in the low minuses in F...if I am thinking along the right track. When I lived in Wisconsin, we'd see negative temperatures F in city. Lowest I recall was -25F, but this was something around oh... 14 years ago.

Andrew, what state are you in? I'm live in southern Wisconsin (Beloit), and it's already snowed a few times. It'll probably snow later this week too. Perfect weather for the 16oz.!

Andrew, for future reference, minus 40 C is the same as minus 40 F. In fact, it's the only place on the whole scale where the two systems agree. Wish I could remember the formula for quick conversions from one to the other, but it involves using 5/9ths or 9/5ths of one number, and either adding or subtracting 40 (or is it 32?) I'm pretty crossed up, but know that minus 40 in each is the same, 0 C is 32 F, 40 C is a touch over(?) 100 F, and 100 C is 212 F.
Very cold in Montana right now, as well. My folks live in the northern part of the state, on the east slope of the Rockies. My father called last night about 8:30, and said it had gotten all the way up to minus 10 F there yesterday, and was already down to minus 15 F when he called. We're a couple hundred miles further south -- it reached minus 2 F (for a high temp) today.
And no, it's not fit weather for going about kilted, unless you're indoors most of the time. While the kilt and hose themselves are warm enough, the northerly breezes up the kilt are wicked, and one's unprotected knees rapidly feel the bite of this kind of cold. However, good on all of those of you able to wear your kilts today!
