Ah, per the comments on this link, No, you've got a bit more conditioning to go before you're ready for Mars.

Here in Canada, we call it Winterpeg for a reason *snicker*. And just for FYI, places in northern Alberta (like Cold Lake) are colder than that and have been frigid like that for roughly a month now.

In the comments on that link -110C if I remember correctly, which isn't assured because it's numbers, was the night temperature on Mars where the rover was.

On the plus side, maybe there's no Mars windchill factor?
