No, not hardly. I recall being stuck overnight in Minneapolis with nothing but a suit and a dress coat in late january (Thanks Northwest!). Walking outside sucked. I will not laugh at Minnesota weather. (I'd have took the down vest, or frankly, anything to stuff under my coat!)

And besides, your -15F is my -26C - that's serious weather. Coldest it gets here is -40 (C or F, doesn't matter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), and that's only a couple days a year maybe. We'll have a week or two of -30C's, and a lot of -20C, but really I doubt we're *that* much colder than northern minnesota (considering you're just south of Manitoba, and Winterpeg is quite a bit colder than here). (PS, that would be without wind chill of course - wind chills get brutal, fortunately the -40 days are almost always dead still)
