What is the coldest temp you ever experienced? Where? -30F for me in New Hampshire

Adrift · 61-69, F

Cold enough to where your boogers freeze when your riding your bike.
Coldest -19 degrees.

-27F, visiting Sault Ste Marie with my husband in the early 80s. It was kind of romantic, though. 😏

When I was in the military stationed in Korea it was about -15 below zero when I was there! Drove a nine ton vehicle across the river and didn't break the ice!

SW-User

it has to have been in the North-South running valleys near the inter-Korean border (DMZ) in Jan or Feb - that is some viciously cold wind.... at least 10 degrees F below 0 (zero).

-50 C. There is a reason we call it Winterpeg. We also get the opposite extreme like the last week has been 30 to 36 C

-45° F in Montana many years ago. Went a three week stretch where it never got above -20° F.

ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, M

-42 F in North Dakota. That was the actual temperature, not including the wind chill.

-35 in Sheboygan Wisconsin with a windchill of -43 it was so cold that the river froze with what I call waves parts of the river froze and then it made like waves they froze in it it looked like frozen ocean waves. It was pretty cool

I’m from northern Wisconsin. When I was young -30’sF would happen most winters but about 25 years ago, on a snowmobile vacation near International Falls Minnesota, I felt what -43F feels like. It’s not good! I think that’s the coldest temp I ever felt

deadmoon · 31-35, F

-30 in ND. Might have been lower than that, but I don’t remember if that -30 took into account the windchill factor or not, but that was a very pervasive cold.

- 60 F below zero in the late 70s in Rhode Island. We were there for a family event

DunningKruger · 61-69, M

I don't remember what the temperature was —somewhere well below zero F. A friend ran out of gas on the way home. I went out to help. While we were dealing with the situation out in the cold, I felt the back side of my right ear explode. It swelled up, and over the next few weeks, it seeped and crusted and hurt like hell. Eventually, the dead skin sloughed off. Oddly, it didn't seem to leave a scar.

-40F windchills overnights .. camping in the Poconos, though in cabin tents with a small wood stove.

ArtieKat · M

In the Winter of 1962/3 in England, when I was 9 years old. Temp fell to -3.1°C.

QCDog2659 · 61-69, M

About -28; near Chicago.

Windchill of -80

Quite a cold Christmas.

Wizardry · 46-50, M

-5 for me in New Zealand at night. Had to get up in the middle of the night and put the heat pump on. Including having my small heater in my bedroom going.
