Coldest I've been in was -40 BEFORE windchill walking the line around nuke loaded aircraft and refuelers. At -40 we (Security Police) were told to stay in our gate shacks.
It was said, although I didn't try it, you could spit and it would be ice before hitting the tarmac.
We did have to keep all vehicles running as well as the startup gens for the aircraft.
