52. Oh my sweet summer child. -6C is by no means freezing by Canadian standards.

For this time of year that temperature is positively balmy. There have been times over the last few weeks when wind chills have dropped to nearly -30C overnight.

That's not to disagree with your post and say that they're hiding their faces out of fear, of course. -6C is still uncomfortable if you're out in it for an extended time like these cops are, particularly if it's windy.
