There was this guy talking about the weather in Korea and it was -13C there nearly a month ago. A guy said that's warm.
Today the guy that said -13C is warm was complaining about -29C with a -33C wind chill and jokingly said "i bet Neptune thinks it is warm" but I was only following his orders and trying not to complain about the cold since he belittled others that did. . He said it has been -25C for two weeks straight near Toronto.
So is -13C warm but -29C is extreme cold for most that live in cold climates?

Having lived in Edmonton I can say this:
1. -13C does not feel warm but can be made manageable with adequate preparation if there's little wind.
2. -29C is very cold and impossible to compensate for but would not be labelled as extreme cold by most people in Edmonton.
3. Your guy was nowhere near Toronto if it was -25C for weeks straight!

Agreed with all this.
The coldest temperature here (also near Toronto) has been -18C in the past couple weeks. Warmest has been 5C. The average temperature here in the past 2 weeks has been -7.5C, with an average high of -3.4 and average low of -11.9C. We are close to the lake so it is milder than more northern suburbs.
Pearson International Airport has had an average high of -5.2C and low of -14.9C, and did have temperatures drop to -21C a couple times. Perhaps some northern suburbs have reached -25C at one point this month, and definitely would have with the wind chill.
Further from Toronto, like Peterborough (1.5 hr drive/140km from Downtown Toronto), it has been colder at times, but still not -25C for weeks straight unless you just mean the daily lows or average with the wind chill. The average high in the past 2 weeks there has been -7.3C and average low has been -24.7C, with four nights at -30C or below and the coldest being -34C. With an average daily mean temperature of -16C, that could translate to -25C with the wind chill.

Oh this dude is in Waterloo where it was -29C this morning by the way.
Quite cold for where I live, in which most winter months average >0ºC. However, once in a while these conditions do happen, from polar vortices. I'd be fine outside in that weather provided I was dressed properly.
Neptune: *laughs in <-200ºC*
The only thing around -200ºC I have seen was liquid nitrogen in a laboratory environment. It's fascinating how it behaves and boils in a 20ºC room.
-13C is only warm for people that live in subarctic and polar climates. It depends on the seasonal average temperature of the location, if the normal high is -11C (Winnipeg), then -13C is just what people expect during this time of the year (Jan). If the normal high is -2C (Toronto), then the cold is unbearable if temperatures are in minus double digits.

It usually feels colder than the actual temperature in Toronto.
I can barely stand temps of 20F with a wind chill in the singles.
