Not to downplay the seriousness: but "middle of Italy" doesn't really sound that bad. Middle of Russia or Middle of USA... could be deadly. Also middle of Russia way way worse than Middle of USA, as the article indicates.

Sure, I wasn't really afraid freezing myself to death in mid-August Italy. More like rolling down a hill in the SUV.

-70 degrees centigrade is cold. The appropriate equipment for being outdoors in that is not something I’d even start to be able to prepare for.

Are you saying it got to -70 C in the middle of Italy?
