whats the coldest temperature you've been in

8°F when I went to visit someone in Louisville, Kentucky. (I'm from Los Angeles). I tried making a telephone call from a pay phone and lasted less than three minutes !

 

18 below, in a pop-up camper with holes in the window. and water dripping on my head. not a good time.

 

Camping at Devils Tower in Wyoming during a night of constant violent thunderstorms in a cheap, leaky tent......the water soaking me more and more as the night went on. Not a good time.


and then the morning with mosquitoes.

 

-48C not including windchill.

I love winter, as long as it's really cold. I'd really like to go up north someday.

 

You're from Canada and you'd like to go up north, that's cute. I too love the cold and SNOW, lots of it. I'd happily check out the Arctic or Antarctica. Let's see, the coldest I've experienced was 60 below (Fahrenheit) when I was a kid in Alaska. brrr..

 

Well one time me and my ex got in a fight and that was the coldest I had ever been

 

Must have been around 10-15F below, and there was wind chill. So that made it, like a million below.

Thats what it feels like walking against it.

 

North Dakota had hella cold winters. When I was there we had weekly blizzards and ice storms...the coldest was neg. eighty windchills and I got the suburban hung up on a snow drift about a quarter mile from my house...I could see my front porch light across the field I was so close, but as I was running through the snow to get home my legs were so numb my foot ricoched off this submerged building foundation (I forgot they were building apartments there) and I fell face first into the snow...as I was clearing snow out of my nose holes and eyes I looked up and through the blzzard and rememeber thinking I was going to die out here in sight of my own house.

Gawddamnit that was the coldest I've ever been. It took hours for me to stop shivering...

 

As a kid in Thunder Bay, Canada. My father's truck broke down - the temperature was so low that when the mechanic arrived on the road - he had to use a blowtorch to heat up the clench of the hood. The metal had sort of fused up because of the cold.
So, I don't know the numbers in that case - but it wasn't exactly sunny Florida state.
In Mtl, Canada - we've had below 50 degrees celcius with the wind factor.
This year has been a double bitch for the cold too...

 

i was in -35F when I lived in Pennsylvania...it was awful

 

minus 25.Feels like your nose is fucked.
And a wet cold.

 

We had days this winter that hit -45C (-49F) not including the windchill. Some of those days had winds over 30 mph which brought it to lower then -70C (-94F).

Which should answer some questions about why I tend to obsess with heating issues... lol

 

whoa...that is friggen cold!

 

-56c with the windchill (otherwise it was only -38c)

 

only if you go outside...

 

In Tassie, probably around one or two celcius
In Australia, maybe around four or five celius

Give or take, I dont tend to remember the weather reports from that far back.

 

-15 C while wearing shorts, don't ask. =D

 

Those giving F should consider the rest of the world and also post in C.

Anyways, -40 C or -48 F about. Frigid!

 

probably in Bridgeport, CA in the High Sierras for cross country skiing training..it was -20F with 3 ft of snow on the ground.

 

-40C, which as far as I can tell from online converters, is about the same as -40F.

I spent a while dealing with temperatures ranging from -10 to -40C, and I think that honestly, once it gets down below -20C, it's all pretty samesy samesy.
