Ditto. I grew up in Fairbanks, AK, and it was no big deal. You just put on the appropriate clothing and kept doing your thing.
Every single day of the year I rode my bike to work, but more importantly I took a walk at midday to get sun on my face and some fresh air.
The few days I didn't get sun on my face in the winter I noticed how grumpy I was later in the day and how horrible I felt by the time I got home.
Even at -44C (before wind chill) I loved walking along the river, watching the ice twist and turn and eventually breakup. I loved having the library as a destination - it was about a 10-15 minute walk, then I could hangout inside for 20 minutes to checkout books and warm up before the walk back to the office.
You'll be fine, just wear the right gear.
