Yes its awesome. PITA getting out of the house, and correctly dressed. But once out and climatised its lovely. The air at minus 10 is real dry. So the cold doesnt seem to penetrate like a windy wet -2 to +2 day IMHO. Coming in after exercising at such low temps. Your lungs feel amazingly clean.
Theres no room for mistakes of course. Since Mrs Smallfurry had to watch me curled up on the workroom floor whimepering. As the frost bite in my right fingers defrosted. My winter budget has been freed up somewhat.
Cycling is fine TBH. Just overdress and ride slower. Running is the tricky one for me.
