In Finland we easily get temperatures -10 celsius and below during winter.

If this is the case, during vectoring radar clears "descend to 2300ft, temperature corrected by ATC". When not vectored the clearance is "descend to 2000ft" and the pilot will report the altitude they will use according to their correction tables.

We have separate tables of altitudes what altitudes to use during vectoring in different temperatures.
