The sled dogs also get covered in snow and snow is like a blanket. They are able to curl up and tuck their feet and nose under their furry tails. Then a layer of snow covers then. Snow is zero degrees C. If the wind chill is -40 C, zero seems quite warm.
Most breeds don't have the double coat. Even long haired dogs are cold in this weather. In the city they don't have any way to shelter from the cold. The wind blows between buildings and it is colder. No pet should be outside this winter. Even the wild animals are not out and around much.
