I didn't tell you to ride your bike to the grocery store in - 30 weather, because that would be a very stupid thing to tell someone to do. I don't know who you are arguing with. I'm saying that you likely don't have very frequent days below - 30, and that this is information that can be looked up.

I do this because I usually see this idea, the frequency of days below 30, used as an escape valve against electric cars. The realty is though, that the cars work in that weather and that those days are rare, so I don't like to let the frequency claim go unchallenged and speak up when I see it to help ensure people think critically about the claim when they see it.

Unchallenged claims become memes, which can be indistinguishable from truth for a lot of people.
