To consider for 2007: Kapuskasing, Ontario, about 650 miles north of Detroit.

Quote:
"Most places at G.M. have safety glasses as protective equipment," said John
A. Komar, manager of the company's Kapuskasing Cold Weather Development
Center, as he pulled on a heavy pair of company-issue gloves. "Here, it's moose
mittens."

Quote:
While Kapuskasing and Timmins are not the coldest places in Canada, they are
more accessible to Detroit than towns farther north and offer a better selection of
necessities like motels, restaurants — and roads. David Phillips, a climatologist at
Environment Canada, a government department that provides weather forecasts, said
the region's winters were an ideal combination of temperature and precipitation. "It's not
the coldest place, but it has a sure cold," he said. "And unlike the coldest places, it
also has a sure snow cover."
