The Canada Honda site calls conditions severe if the car is
"regularly driven in very low temp (-29 C, -20 F)."

The American Honda site (and some American Honda owner's
manuals) calls conditions severe if one drives in one or
more of the conditions below most of the time:

Trips of less than 5 miles (less than 10 in freezing
weather)
Extremely hot weather (over 90 degrees F)
Extensive idling or stop-and-go driving
Trailer towing, car-top carrier, or mountain driving
Muddy, dusty, or de-iced roads
