Indeed -20F to -40F is very cold. I think this would be the more impressive headline. Over here we do not go much below 0F, maybe -10F, so -40F is difficult to imagine.
About the south: I used to stay for a while in Austin, TX. During winter we had temperatures below freezing (just ice, no snow). The locals told us that this happens at least every other year. For this some were suprisingly unprepared though, in particular with regard to driving skills, water pipes and building insulation.

People in brand new houses open all of the cabinets and run the water to keep the pipes from freezing... Last year it even snowed here. Twice. Nothing major, just a thin layer of snow for a day or two, but the schools shut down. When I lived in SD a light rain would lead to everyone driving 20mph below the speed limit on the freeway.
