Out here on the bald prairie, we have no humidity at all. You can either have -30C or humidity but not both. My personal record is -33C in a blowing snowstorm. For me the fun stops at about -25C. After that it is just plain hard work as the clothing you have on makes it difficult to turn the pedals. Below -30C I wear snowmobile boots which are very inefficient cycling shoes :-) Just call me DaKook of the North. There are a surprising number of us and more each year. It is a blast.
