A blizzard has an actual definition: A violent snowstorm with winds blowing at a minimum speed of 35 miles (56 kilometers) per hour and visibility of less than one-quarter mile (400 meters) for three hours.

[@m2hmghb]

I've been through several of them. They're extremely common in the midwest, and lake effect region.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

The limited visibility due to blowing snow is the most important part of that definition. In a sufficiently _severe_ blizzard, you can't see your hand in front of your face.

[@carlr2837]

And that's a minimum. They can be a lot worse. They worst I've experienced was wind up to 80 MPH and visibility was about 15 feet. We, and 45 others broke into a gas station in Crook, Colorado, and spent the night there. In the morning, the cows outside were frozen solid, standing up.

In northern Minnesota, in the mid '70s, day three of a 5-day blizzard my mother made me go out to take care of the chickens. The chicken coop was about 500 ft from the house. I filled a 5 gallon pail with scalding hot water from the bathtub and by the time I got to the chicken coop there was a quarter inch of ice on the top of the pail. I went in and all but one of the heat lamps had burned out I replaced them, I put down fresh straw, removed the frozen eggs (which we could use) and a few chickens that also died. The waterer had frozen and I thawed it out and filled it with the fresh water. I also put down some fresh feed. The temperature was -82° F wind-chill. There were some years that we had 15 foot tall snow drifts in the farm yard which was great for kids burrowing out snow forts.

The same blizzard hit the Chicago area. It was the funnest snow storm I remember from my childhood. We had snow that was 4-5 feet high (1 - 1 1/2 meters) and we had mazes dug into the snow we couldn't see over. It was like a hedge maze but with snow instead.

My first winter in Jackson Hole Wyoming was 1977-78. On New Year's Eve we woke up to our landlord calling to see if we were okay. We had a gas stove in our little 600 square foot cabin. There was frost on the interior walls of the bedroom but we were oblivious to what was happening to the rest of the people in the valley. It was minus 65 degrees fahrenheit outside and the power lines had gotten so cold that the cable TV and power lines pulled apart. People who were on ski vacation couldn't start their cars to drive to the airport for their flights. I put on my down ski jacket and walked outside. The air was still with ice crystals floating in the air. Then within a few weeks we were shoveling snow up to our waists and shoulders just to get from our car to our front door. For some reason there doesn't seem to be documentation of any of this but we lived through it and it was an incredible welcome to northwestern Wyoming.

The reason for so few Alaska cities is that Alaska, like equally northerly British Isles and Scandinavia, is on the east side of an ocean.

[@CortexNewsService]

Yeah. And Fairbanks is an inland city, a few hundred miles from the ocean. All the cities listed are well away from any coast. The Great Lakes do moderate temperatures somewhat, but not nearly as much as the ocean.

[@no_rubbernecking]

It's not about the east side, just about the cities mostly being on or near the ocean. In the Northern Hemisphere, the warm currents come up the west side and turn east between 40 and 60 N latitude. Then as they go south along the east side, they slowly warm up, but because the water is far cooler than it was going up the west side, and thus moderates the daily high temps for the adjacent cities, it's known as a cold current. However, the direction of heat flow is still from south to north, even as the water is slowly moving south. Bottom line is that Alaska would be a little warmer than it is if the currents were counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, but they're still obviously far warmer than they would be if there _were_ no currents.

There's days in January where Duluth doesn't get above zero. I live about 55 miles north of Duluth & we can have long periods without reaching zero. Lots of times, we can be well below zero (think -30°F & colder) the whole month of January. Duluth is on a hill, so if Lake Superior isn't frozen, they can get lots of lake effect snow & the open water keeps the shoreline communities warmer than on top of the hill & farther away like my hometown.

[@jarrodwemhoff7270]

Nebraskan. We can hit the-30 mark but it’s not usually for very long. We could change 100 degrees in one week from the low-high. Been going out to check cows and tagging calves and golfing in shorts from Tuesday to Sunday. They’re doing the main land 48.

[@hollyheikkinen4698]

14:29 in northern Minnesota, we can easily have a 50+ temperature swing in 24 hours during the cold part of winter. -40°F for a low to above zero highs during daylight hours isn't uncommon, especially when you factor in wind chill. You can survive most of the exteme temperatures if you know what you are doing & have access to shelter. Bigger cities have things like skywalk systems & tunnels so you can get around the schools, hospitals, city centers, etc easier.

If you don't like the cold at this time of year, come to Australia and enjoy 47o Celsius

[@genghispecan]

Not so bad right now at 05:35 north of Atlanta in Georgia. It's 43F / 6C. Last day of relative warmth before rain comes before the January cold (lows about 24F /-4C).

[@anthonypatterson1074]

I live in Chicago we prepare for the heat and the cold you prepare for it year-round. The hottest places death valley and the coldest places are in Alaska.

[@Mrsg123]

25 degrees Fahrenheit is perfect weather for skating, sledding, and skiing! Not too warm and not too cold for winter sports. -4 Celsius

[@randyronny7735]

These temperatures are why an inventor in Grand Forks, ND invented a device to keep the engines of vehicles warm, so they can be started on these cold days. There was a time when people would ask about cords hanging out the front of the grille, and people responded that we tie our cars down because they are so wild. These cold temps are nothing compared to having 2 feet of fresh snow and winds over 40mph added in. I sometimes wonder if we live here just to say we can handle being out in these temperatures. People must remember that we can go for weeks without getting above zero F and months without getting above freezing.

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

San Diego California it was 63 degrees on Christmas. Today is the day after Christmas and I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt and sandals

[@JPMadden]

Here in Rhode Island, near the ocean, the temperature at 3:30 PM is a seasonal 38 F (3 C). But it's not unpleasant because it's sunny and dry with little wind. Two weeks ago, we had heavy wind and rain at this temperature, which felt much colder. Last weekend we had a low of 8 F (minus 13 C), fortunately without wind. People are allowed to go outdoors in the extreme cold, although there might be a warning. Several times in my twenties I skied in windchills of minus 50 to 60 F (minus 45.6 to minus 51.1). I'm now too old to do that again voluntarily.

[@rickmeister]

Here we are in Jacksonville, FL and it's actually cold today (for us) and the high was 15c, rainy and overcast. However, by the weekend we'll be sunny and close to 23c. Winter in north FL is mild but can get a bit chilly at night.

[@havok6280]

In Chicago, it isn't the cold. It's the wind... I remember several days with a wind chill below -20 °F. Luckily, I live in California. 54 degrees F atm (12 degrees C).

[@handful65]

I live here in Butte Montana and we are having a very balmy winter so far! Right now it is 29° F (-2° C). The coldest I've seen it was -58° F (-50° C)and that didn't include the wind chill factor (which isn't really paid attention to here). I also remember one particular winter when I was in high school where we didn't get warmer than -9° F (-23° C) for 6 weeks. That was one heck of a cold snap.

[@iangrayson9930]

I grew up in Fargo, ND, and I remember February 1st, 1996. It was a Thursday and I walked 4 miles to school in that temperature. After about an hour or so they found they couldn't sufficiently heat the school and closed school for the day, so I walked 4 miles back home through it. If you're wondering what that's like I have a scenario you can try. Step outside of your house and have someone whack you in the face with a tennis racket hard enough that it really hurts as you step through the door. Then do the old 'ice bucket challenge' - except line people up and have them dump a bucket on you every five seconds or so until it feels like you can't catch your breath while you're trying to get your car unlocked to get out of the savage wind. That's how you start your morning.

[@deborahwinder3617]

The high here today is 10 degrees Celsius. I live in a relatively warm part of the US. We get snow that sticks maybe twice a year. Ice storms are a bigger problem during the winter because fallen tree limbs can take out the power for several days if it's widespread.

[@kc9scott]

Ice storms are bad because falling tree branches don’t just take out a few major power lines. Instead, they take out the power lines of individual houses, for lots and lots of houses. Larger shared power lines generally have better maintenance with pruning of nearby tree limbs, but not so much for individual houses.

[@1001Hobbies]

The coldest I went through was -60F and with the wind chill factor (adding in how much colder the wind makes it feel like) it was -80F. The coolant in my car froze. It was only good for -40F. Yes, I had to go to work that day. I live in NE Ohio, and that was sometime around 1991.

[@actadiurna6733]

Yes, you should watch the movie "Fargo", which oddly only briefly takes place in that city and the rest of it is mostly in Brainerd, Minnesota and surrounding areas. The movie was famous for its attempt to reproduce the Minnesota accent (which forms part of the humor since other Americans laugh at our accent), and in some cases they got it right (Yah shoor, ya betcha dey did!).

[@ramonashearer7241]

48°F/ 8°C and we got 4 inches of rain. I am wrapped up in my electric throw blanket. I got wet and cold, and now I can't seem to get warm.

[@causticchameleon7861]

Here in Georgia, we’ve already had overnight temperatures around 25F which I saw was almost -4C. The high temps were around 45f.

Greetings from Superior Wisconsin just across a bridge from Duluth Minnesota. We are often referred to collectively as the twin ports.

[@marklar7551]

We're in a warm up here in Ohio. Was 5 today from -7 on Sunday (converted to C for you), for my fellow Americans that is 40f up from 18f.

[@crunch507]

I live just outside of Fairbanks now and have for about 10 years. It’s a toasty 5 degrees F right now. I grew up in the Midwest and I maintain that the Midwest feels colder. It’s never windy in the winter here and it’s so dry it doesn’t feel quite as bad.

[@mpetersen6]

In 1982 it was 75°F on Christmas morning. New Years Eve it was -10°F or lower. SE Wisconsin.

[@booth9666]

im in oklahoma its dec 27 6:12 am 38f outside now not too bad..i used to live in colorado i remember a couple of months growing up below zero in the winters there

[@FJA---]

December, 27th, about 12:30am. Right now in western Connecticut it’s 20ºf (-6.7ºc), not too bad for this time of the year. Lowest temp I’ve ever been out in was -32ºf (-35.6ºc) and lowest windchill was -83ºf (-63.9ºc). That was a bad night.

[@wonderbubbles4092]

In Billings, Montana it is -1 C right now. Winds are almost dead calm, only 16 kph.

[@douglascampbell9809]

It's 3 C right now where I live in Minnesota. About an hour South of Duluth and Lake Superior. Next week the temp will drop into the -10 c range during the day and -16 C at night. I've personally seen the temp go down to -40 where both temperature scales meet.

[@dwightguthrie8757]

Here in Colorado I just saw for temps for the next few days. They say we will get close to 60 degrees down in Denver on Sat. But the upcoming week it'll be close to where your at now.

[@CurtGodwin]

It's 44F (6.67C) here in northern Georgia, which is pretty seasonal for this time of year. In the summer, it can get up to 106F (41.1C), and the record low here is -5F (-20.6C)... and we're at LAT 33.76N (versus 51.5N for London)... so we get some pretty wild temperature swings.

[@davidclough3951]

I live in Aberdeen, SD. I say if it's above 0F, it's not cold yet. One winter I started my car to warm it up. As I tried to get out of my car, the metal door handle broke off in my hand it was so cold outside.

[@causticchameleon7861]

Also remember if you add in wind speed to those cold temperatures the “real feel” temperature feels colder. So 7F can feel like -30f depending on the wind speed.

[@RandallMcElroy]

I had a friend who was in the US Marine reserves . The unit went to Alaska for cold weather training but had to relocate to Minnesota to complete the training.
