What's the coldest weather you've ever been exposed to?

So I'm curious as to what is the coldest weather you guys and gals have been exposed to? Living in Alaska, I've been exposed to some pretty cold weather during the winter. However, nothing can beat the -80 with wind-chill from this past January. We had a couple of weeks where it was very very cold and windy. It did a lot of damage to buildings and houses. We had hurricane force winds too which caused a lot of vehicles and signs and other structures to be blown over or damaged
Here's some pics of that that I braved one day to take.

@AngelLane it was insanely cold. All told between car and truck insurance claims, property damage and damage to city property and utilities, we had about 436 million dollars in damages in those two weeks. It's not something that happens very often, as it it's the first time in 26 years we got that cold for that long where we live.

@SW-User Yes, that is crazy cold, just don't go outside weather. Your face would instantly freeze.

@JimboSaturn there's barely any ability to even breathe when it's that cold. There's no moisture in the air at that point

@SW-User for sure. Your furnace must have been constantly running

@JimboSaturn our wood stove was constantly being stoked too.

@SW-User I would be worried about my pipes breaking

@JimboSaturn a lot of people did have their pipes burst. A lot of stores had their sewer pipes burst too.
