Title: What is the coldest temperature you've ever felt?
Post by: pectacon on January 29, 2020, 08:06:23 am
I'm taking a trip somewhere the low will be down in the teens and that's about twenty degrees lower than I've ever felt! What's the coldest you've felt?

I grew up in Illinois, so I've felt the below 0 weather before. Of course, that's when I was a kid and teenager, and I've lived in Georgia for the past 41 years. Now I'd probably freeze in even the weather you're talking about, LOL! Bundle up and stay warm!  :peace: :heart: :snowman:

Northern Minnesota, 1996. I think it was -44˚F, not including the windchill. The record low in MN that winter was -60˚F in Tower. Fortunately, I wasn't there at the time.  :o

I think -30s here is the lowest I remember.  Gets colder than that with windchill but actual was -30.

35 degrees Fahrenheit was probably the coldest temperature I have personally/directly felt...and that is while I am living in the South (and I am originally from New York). I hope to never experience that again, unless I am enjoying it from the comfort of my warm house. :)

In the early 60's I went to Arizona with an Army buddy to visit his parents in Ajo and his brother in Tuscon, but on the way back we went through Flagstaff where it was 38 below zero. The car heater was blowing cold, so we had to wrap up in blankets and didn't dare turn the motor off when we stopped to buy some food in a convenience store. We tried to buy some cold drinks from a machine, but the soda froze and the cap was sticking up from the bottle an inch or so.

Several times in Minnesota in the 90's, schools were closed across the whole state due to extreme cold temperatures plus the added windchill. 

-30 to -60 depending on area of state.

I was born in Alaska, but only there til I was 2. So even though it was extremely cold there I don't remember it. But I grew up in Wisconsin and the winter of 83/84 we had a lot of very cold temps, one night was -60 with an even colder windchill. I remember my mom having to call into work because the car wouldn't start. And our furnace going out the same night. It was a very cold night.

I lived in Alaska when it became a state, so i'm sure it was cold their just not sure how cold.  We lived there for 5 years.

In Michigan it is not uncommon to have temps in the negative numbers. I don't know how low it has exactly been but it's cold!

I have been exposed to wind chills of between sixty five to seventy below zero when I used to live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The summers in Wisconsin were awful with humidity and bugs. It seemed like it would be overcast from September first until May thirtieth with a few days of sunshine that would only happen when I was trapped in an office. I moved to Colorado where it is arid (minimal to no humidity), rarely goes below zero and provides me with sunshine over three hundred and twenty days a year. I miss all of the lakes and great food-they actually do not seem to care about calories in Wisconsin and cook with butter. It is impossible to find a good thin crust pizza in Colorado and the majority of people are in good shape. The large majority of Wisconsin people made me look skinny.

Just came from Utah and it was 12 degrees at one point until my friend showed me it was zero degrees after we left. Never going back!

A few years ago, it got as low as 20 degrees below zero in my State.

I don't know and don't want to think about it because I don't like cold temps.  Anything under 35 and I'm ready to move to a warmer climate.

I think around 14 degrees.  Where I live now usually only gets down to the 20s and 30s.

I'm unsure what the temp was when I lived in Detroit but I'm sure it was pretty low considering the knee high snow.

Have to agree with you.  Chicago winters can be brutal but we have been lucky the last couple of years

   In Alaska, I have experienced  -50 F...no winds-no wind chill factor.
   You just to have dress properly with the right winter gear.
    Here are some interesting facts:                                                                                                                                                    The highest and lowest temperatures recorded are both in the Interior of         
the State of Alaska, according to Wikipedia.
Summers--High up to 90 F---Low-to-mid 30 C
Winters--Can fall bellow -60 F (-51 C)   
Many tourists visit during warm weather months--May thru September and
leave before bad winter weather arrives.

I was in Minnesota for work a couple of years ago and the temperature was -21 and that was before adding in the wind chill which brought it close to -40. I am going back there this week but the temperature is supposed to stay above 0.

I honestly don't know how far it dipped down but it was to a point where My drive way actually had ice platforms.

-15 degrees F. It gets really cold in New England but it's rare to be that cold. Only when the arctic blasts from Canada make their way in.

When I was 17 I was living in Wisconsin and one night it was -66 with an even colder windchill. I am so grateful I moved to Florida in my early 20's. I never want to feel those temperatures again.

The coldest temperature I've ever felt  was in the mid teens here in middle Tennessee.  When it hits the teens we usually leave our water faucets dripping to help prevent frozen pipes.

I got a surprise on Thursday when I woke up and the temperature in Minnesota was -19. That is just brutal, the snow never melts.
