Snow Problem? No problem

I'm currently living in Edmonton Canada, where the record low is -57 F and whiteout conditions are common. With a good set of winter tires, my 2015 Fit drove through the worst conditions without a problem. If it has a weakness, it's that at -40, the heater and heated seats keep you alive, but they cannot get the cabin toasty.

Vermonter, here. Our record is -50, but we often hit -30 to -40. The weakness isn't the fit, so much as it is the 4 cylinder engine. Two decades of driving in this kind of weather, the only 4 cylinder I've had that could cope with the January cold was my Mini, and that managed to get the car up to room temperature, but never higher. That is still impressive, since we spent an entire month below -30 this year.

I'll stop complaining about the once every 2 decades or so 15 below, except to sue them as an example to the folks who have move up from Fla. Now high heat indices .... 97 NOW, 104 feels like, neither records.
