Northern Wisconsin One winter I went out to shovel snow. It snowed the day before and finally stoped around midnight the next morning we had a polar vortex drop in. -45 F or -42.7 C with wind chill. Went out shoveled for ten minutes went inside to warm up. Repeat for two hours. Not a lot of snow about 4 inches Or 10 cm. ANY exposed skin can get frostbite in a few minutes. I was covered head to toes and still felt that bitter cold.

I once saw a comic that summed up living in the Midwest in Winter: "The air hurts my face. Why do I live where the air hurts my face?" There are two types of Midwesterners- those who have all the good snow gear and know how to bundle up, and those who are wearing shorts out in the snow. There is no in between. Also, anyone will tell you it's the Wind that's the problem. Freezing temps with no wind isn't all that bad, especially if it's sunny. But that wind can suck the warmth right out of you.

The dust bowl actually affected Washington DC directly. A senator from one of affected states went on a tangent buying time for about 30 minutes until the dust literally hit Washington just outside the senate window. The entire senate was frightened into passing the soil conservation act right that second. It’s the only time the senate and the house unanimously passed a bill like that.

The Rocky Mountain Locust part is so weird and fascinating, because it only took a few years for the species to go from HUGE and terrible swarms to basically gone. It went extinct because even though the adults would fan out into giant swaths and devour crops for miles and miles, there was only a very small area where they would mate and lay eggs, around the headwaters of one or two rivers in the Rockies. Once these areas (which were fertile farmlands themselves because, well, river) were settled and their soil tilled, the farmers dug up millions and millions of egg casings, which would then either dry out in the sun or be snacks for birds. Without even meaning to, the farmers who settled the eastern slope of the Rockies decimated their greatest enemy by simply doing what they always did, turning the soil for planting.

[@wildmouse5888]

That helped, and so did the bounty the Federal government put on the Rocky Mountain grasshopper. $5 (a lot of money back then) for a bushel basket full of grasshopper HEADS. It would be interesting to know how many grasshopper heads it takes to fill a bushel basket.

An interesting story about "the year without a summer," is that it happened in the UK, too. Several authors (Mary Shelley - Frankenstein; Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron) stayed in a home with the idea to write the best horror story. There was nothing else to do, and too cold to go outside. So they stayed in, partied, and wrote books.

January 1967 in Chicago. HUGE blizzard, 23 inches in 24 hours. 50 MPH wind gusts. 15 ft drifts. The funny thing was that 2 days earlier it was 65 degrees out, temp dropped 31 degrees overnight. That night it started snowing. Google it, the pictures are crazy. People left their cars on the interstates, highways and streets. Plows couldn't clear the streets due to the cars.

I've experienced sub-freezing temps several times in my life and we just call it snot freezing cold. With the right clothing, you can survive, but the worst part is when you go back inside to a warm place, the heat drives the cold deeper into your bones for a few minutes and it can be painful.

I was born and raised in North Dakota. I moved to another state when I was young. A few years ago I went back to the family farm to visit for Christmas. On Christmas eve I had to walk to my mother's house to grab something (about a football pitch away from my grandparents house). It was about 1pm, the temp was -22 before wind-chill and about -38 after. In those temps your eyelashes feeze together when you blink and your nostrils freeze together when you breath in. :-)

I went to college in Minnesota. While there we hit actual -40F. I had to drive to school in the morning and, surprisingly, the car did start, but I thought the windshield was going to crack. My best guess was that I was hearing the window adhesive because it had frozen and become brittle. Quite a freaky experience, though. I let the car "Warm-up" for 15 minutes, drove the 5 miles to school, and the temp gauge was still pegged all the way cold. Slick-50 was the brand new product at the time, and although I wouldn't use it today, I really think that was the only lubrication in the engine for most of the drive.

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We have had winters where it never got above zero F for several weeks. I remember one winter in the 80s when it was below zero for almost three weeks straight. I worked for a large company with over 1000 people in my plant. Many people went out to the parking lot to start their cars and let them run for fifteen minutes on their lunch hour. At quitting time the company hired a tow truck to cruise around the parking lots and provide jump starts for anyone whose battery died from the cold. When I would start my drive home my car felt bumpy because the tires were flattened on the bottoms--not until road friction warmed up the air in the tires would they get round again. As for me, my usual outer clothes were a full length down coat, down-lined boots, down mittens, a wooly hat and a wooly scarf. I also had extra outerwear in the car, a couple of blankets, and a stash of granola bars and chocolate in case I got stranded. Also a shovel and kitty litter to put under the tires if I got stuck on some ice.

Grew up in North Dakota and my coldest day was minus 42 with wind chill of minus 90 and had to walk to school. So you dress in layers and keep a thin layer of air between the layers of clothing. Tuck trousers into top of snow boots. Wear knit cap tied down with scarf then put up the hood. Zip up coat over layers of sweaters and tuck gloves into sleeves. Last is a scarf or towel around face, but guaranteed your nose will freeze shut anyway before the door is closed. Walk carefully over ice and frozen snow because if you fall you probably can't get up with all those clothes on.

I was born in Fargo, North Dakota and moved to Montana in 1982 when I was 13 years old from Minot, North Dakota. I've been in Montana ever since. When you have experienced winters up here your whole life it's something you become used to. For me it doesn't matter if it's 100 Fahrenheit or -30 Fahrenheit I still wear shorts on a daily basis. If I was gonna go somewhere where I would be spending several hours in below zero temperatures I would wear pants but I generally will just wear shorts, a sweatshirt, a beanie and my regular shoes. We had 2 days this winter where the temperature hit -58 degrees and was -70 degrees with the windchill, and I still delivered my rural mail route. On those 2 days I didn't wear shorts though just in case I had some car trouble and got stranded.

We had a bitter cold spell during the nineties in Grand Rapids, Michigan that lasted a few weeks. We came close to setting a new record low temperature during that time. Daytime highs were in the single digits for several days. Cars were reluctant to start and had to be warmed up for a few minutes before driving them. The coldest night got down to -21 Fahrenheit. Frostbite and hypothermia were very real dangers. Exposed skin could become frost bitten within minutes. We also had to be very careful when letting the dogs outside.

Geologists, archeologists and other sciences have been finding out that floods on one side of the planet lead to droughts on the other side and have destroyed civilizations. These collapses from climate change occur for several reasons. Some climate changes happen due to our planet going through cycles, like changes in Earth's orbit from nearly circular to elliptical, and the magnetic reversal of the poles, and others. The more we learn, the more we find that there is to learn. Great reaction!

That is the same Temperature in Celsius. With windchill factor, it felt like -60 F. We had to leave our vehicles running and the fuel and oil became like jelly. We could not expose any skin to the weather or it would freeze. I was inside the tent, taking a pee into a bucket and it was freezing upon impact. We took a canteen cup of boiling coffee, walked outside and tossed into the air. It became like a brown, frozen mist. It is to this day the coldest I have ever seen.

I camped on a mountain at a ski resort in Colorado for 2 months in the 90's. It was crazy cold. The key is good clothing and gear.

You need warm when wet clothing like wool or synthetics, down, gortex, fleece, double socks, gloves with liners etc. also, if in snow in mountains you need super good full coverage dark sunglasses or your gonna go blind. right gear, stay hydraded, with enough calories, and it's fine.

I’m from the State of Iowa where they definitely have their snowed in days. My most extreme winter experience, was Manhattan, New York. I was there to participate in Spring/Summer upcoming year, for Couture Fashion Week. There was eight artists, and the cab could only take seven. All artists refused to stay with me in the elements. I chose to let them go on, and I GPSed the address of our BNB. It was -20 Fahrenheit. I was a prior combat medic, avid runner, and had ran many times, in my home state of Iowa, during many times of below 0, which I don’t recommend to anyone. I just started running, based on the walking directions, as it was too cold to wait for another cab. Within 20 minutes, running/jogging the whole way to keep my core temperature up, I finally made it to the AirBnB, buzzing my way up, calling cell phones, until they let me in. Fortunately there was nobody out, so I did not feel like my life was in threat. I knew out of all the makeup artists, coming from the south to volunteer, I was the one most likely to survive and not become a victim of the elements. My face and hands were frozen, even amongst a long wool coat, with fur, gloves and a scarf, but I was grateful to make it back to the AirBnB. 🙏🏻 I would have to say that was my most extreme experience with cold weather. As the homeless were taken off the streets, as not to parish from the fridgid elements, I chose to challenge the elements straight on, at the betterment and survival of others🙏🏻. ARMY Strong 💪🏻 😉.

You can tell the temp is below 0 F because when you breath, it feels like needles are pricking the front of your brain.

Anything below 0° F is Hell. If it's cold enough, any wind at all will feel like literal whips on any exposed skin (especially the face). Layers are key. If it's ever that cold, wear several layers of jumpers, and make sure you're not facing the wind if you can help it. The coldest I've ever experienced was -39° F (Just about the same in Celsius)

[@gregorybiestek3431]

Sorry, but I'm from Michigan - 0 F is not great, but ok as long as there is no or extremely little wind. Any wind chill below sub-zero F or worse than -18 C is what is brutal. Michigan use to get 0 F several times every winter, sometimes whole weeks where the temps never got above 5 F (-15 C). When that is common you prep for it. Just in 2024 (Jan 6-8) Detroit had 42 hours straight of sub-zero temps. Of course you have me beat with -39, the worse I got was -21 in 1984 and -20 in 1994. Windchill in 1984 was -40 and in 1994 it was -30. It was a f**king b***h to get the car started both years.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we've also experienced similar things (though less extreme) to the "Dark Day". In the past decade or so on the West coast, governments have tried to take control of nature, by both trying to prevent natural burns and preserving the natural refuse that would normally get burned off in smaller natural burns. Like most cases of humanity trying to tame nature, it went the way anyone with enough foresight to see past their nose could tell you, very poorly. Without the smaller fires that have been naturally occurring here forever, and with so much flammable material building up, the entire West coast has been converted into a tinderbox, so when we get any fire that isn't put out on the spot, the entire coast can go up in flames. I remember about 4 years ago, there was so much smoke that I needed to roll up towels to stuff under the doors to keep it out, ran an air purifier 24/7 (that permanently bit the dust from being exposed to too much smoke), and it was pretty dim during the daytime. Not so dark you needed a candle, but that level of dark where you'd be relatively comfortable walking around in it, but where it feels a little too dark to comfortably eat off of a plate. Through the enormous motes of smoke drifting across the state, the Sun looked deep red, even when high in the sky. Lasted about a week or so (might've been two). We've had a few other fires that had similar effects, but not really for as long as that.

[@tonijberry]

It was 80+ degrees that week too!

[@JohnThyEnglishman]

Last year, the "feels like" temperatures got down to 40 below. It's so cold that it burns, if that makes any sense. It literally takes your breath away. It feels like you're turning into ice. Even if you're outside for just a minute or two.

[@Bijou2013]

I've lived in the state of Minnesota all my life. We're known across the US for snow and cold. When it's more than 25 or 30 below zero it actually hurts to breathe. It feels like ice crystals are forming inside your lungs. We wear a scarf across our mouths and breathe through it to help somewhat. You need to cover every inch of exposed skin because you can develop frostbite very quickly. Usually, once it gets more than 30 below zero, schools are closed so little kids don't have to wait outside for the school bus. Otherwise, we pretty much just bundle up and go about our business.

[@isairivera4012]

Sioux Falls, South dakota. We had 3 tornadoes hit our town just recently. Was pretty cool to watch

[@jessebarr828]

when i lived in Minneapolis MN from 2010 to 2014 we had a period of time where for 50 days at one point in the day it was always under 0F. For 14 of those days, it never went over 0F and if I remember right, it was down to -20F for the normal temperature for the day and then the wind kicked in to bring the wind chill down to -75F for how it felt. I think we had to bundle up in full snow gear just to bring the dog outside to go to the bathroom.... there's a reason I moved back to NY after a few years. I'll take my 100inches of snow a year instead of that. basically, it just sucks and after it hits 0F everything feels the same and its just cold and pain if you go outside

[@jasonjazzz5]

lowest i think ive been in north MN is -42-43-ish. happens semi rarely, but has potential every winter here for a couple days

[@jaybird012290]

I grew up in eastern Iowa and it gets down into the negative 20s F, but it's the windchill that fucks you. Some days it'll be a -50 or -60 windchill. You can go outside and if you had a sniffle well now you immediately have stabby bogeys in your nose. It's so cold thay we would wear several pairs of socks, pants, and shirts at the same time and still be cold. It's the kind of cold that will definitely kill you if you dont know how to exist within it. I remember vividly falling down in the snow while it was snowstorming and being so cold it started to get confortable, which is a very bad sign. Thankfully, my sisters were with me and helped me up but it stuck with me as the first time i thought i might die. So...yeah the midwest in winter is hell frozen over.

[@HossLUK]

Im not sure exactly how to explain that level of cold, but to try and make some sort of sense of it, in those kinds of temperatures, if you turn your car off for just 15 mins or so, you will not be able to turn it back on without heating up the block in some way, otherwise you'll ruin the engine. It's so cold that people would wrap thick blankets around the grills of their cars so the cooling system can't cool the engine which could prevent the engine from warming up to a safe operating temperature. So, imagine blocking off the grills on your car, getting rid of your engine's way of cooling itself down, and the engine never over heating because it's just that cold outside.

[@marcgarrett4401]

The coldest I've experienced was -65F with wind chill in northern Montana on a frigid December day.

Here is something I heard of years ago: Fish are said to fall from the sky in Yoro, Honduras, a phenomenon known as lluvia de peces or "downpour of fish". This has been happening for over a century, and can occur up to four times a year. The event usually happens in early June, at the beginning of the rainy season.

[@leefi1]

Adam, growing up in America's deep South in the 50's and 60's I lived through more than a few hurricanes. Most were near misses, but some were direct hits. Damage was common, but nothing prepared me for a tornado. I was living in Panama City Florida when a tornado hit part of base housing on Tyndall Air Force Base, where many of my high school friends lived. The first people that I phoned were puzzled by the reports, they had no damage, and hadn't heard anything unusual except the familiar sounds of heavy thunderstorms hitting the area. I drove over to a friend's house and two blocks away, we saw the damage. Houses are built on slabs there, no basements, just everything one story brick post and beam modern style homes. The concrete slabs were polished clean, no houses, just the occasional brick utility room (a windowless storage room built onto open covered parking spaces.) .We were speechless. Even the worst of the debris was blown far away! We had over 40 inches over 12 hours in Houston, with no warning. It started raining at 9 PM and by 9 AM there were big rig trucks floating in the below grade freeways. The sub-levels of high rise buildings were flooded, where the electrical equipment was housed. The incredibly valuable lab animals in the vast Houston Medical Center drowned in their cages in basements. Literally billions of gallons of water were pumped out of the basements of downtown high rise buildings. They were connected underground by tunnels with shops and restaurants. 98 F and 98% humidity made tunnels popular for getting from place to place; all were filled with water. I don't miss the constant flooding in Houston! I've lived in 8 states, nothing compares to Texas weather. I now live in a Mediterranean climate in Oregon, cool wet winters with occasional snow and long dry summers with a few over 100 F days. No crazy weather, no violent thunderstorms, not even truly heavy rain. 2 inches over 7 days is newsworthy. It's lovely.

[@katehenry2718]

It gets DANG cold in Indiana, but the trees are glorious. Gotta have ancient (only 200yrs) oaks and maples to be happy. Barefoot footprints in the snow from house to trash cans beside garage. MUCH prefer cold to hot. I'm useless at 90 degrees.

[@FJA---]

The coldest I've ever been I was -30ºf (-34ºc). Was working that night and the only heat in the building was from the carpet drying ovens in the building. The coldest wind chills I ever was in was -83ºF (-64ºc). We were having a bad week as we were working our 3rd major derailment of the week that night. You could only be outside for 5 to 15 minutes before you had to go in and warm up. We finally just refused to go outside anymore until it warmed up to less below freezing and the wind went down.

[@nickgraff9413]

I can't even truly begin to describe just how cold those days in 2019 really were, and I had to work outside through much of it. I was always cold, even in the delivery truck, there was just no heat to be had. I had five layers over my core, and I still felt the windchill in my bones. The truck itself suffered a cracked windshield when I turned the heat on, and cold air was just bleeding in from the cargo bay into the cab, even through the interior door. Whenever I faced into the wind, it hurt to breathe. My beard frosted over almost entirely, and I called it quits on those days once my fingers started going numb. I had already lost most of the feeling in my toes, just that tingly sensation when the numbness was settling in. I eventually wore three pairs of socks, all I could fit into my boots, and it still wasn't enough. Insulated underwear didn't really help much either, the windchill would just blast the body heat right off of me. It was the coldest I'd ever been in my life. The only upside was that we got unofficial hazard pay for that week. I never want to do that again.

[@patrickgeorge9517]

In December 1983 in my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana the Red River froze solid. The Red runs between Shreveport and Bossier City. Many people walked across it because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

[@skildude]

I lived in Wisconsin a couple decades ago. We hit -27F degrees. 3 layers of clothes and I still had the cold wind blowing it. I was only able to stay outside to collect fired wood for about 5 minutes. before I became extremely cold. The houses furnace couldn't keep up with heating the house. We all slept in front of the fireplace to keep warm.

[@Stephanie-kh6nx]

100 degrees Fahrenheit is Spring for us in Arizona. We are used to well over 110+ on up degrees weather for multiple days, sometimes in a row in one week, and at weeks at a time! LMAO! 😂 it is usually the reason for our brush/electrical fires.

I live in the Kopperl area bro (super small town) and my dad said it melted tires to the pavement, caused sheet metal on houses/barns to sag and bend, killed animals, crops, and even caused heat strokes and exhaustion because AC wasn’t as big of a thing back then. More people had swamp coolers (or evaporative coolers for the more cultured) 😂 . It was the weirdest thing that didn’t last long but is always remembered and talked about. I always liked bringing it up to the old timers when I was younger because they get serious and told crazy stories 😂. I don’t know if they were exaggerating or not but it sounded terrible.

This exact fire happened again last year as New York experienced darkest day again. A huge forest fire happened in Canada which filled the New York city area with dark smoke for a week. It eventually returned to blue skies but it was acrid yellow for a while.

[@tatteredquilt]

I live near Chicago... that temp was BEFORE wind chills. The coldest wind chills I dealt with was in 1984, when we had minus 80 wind chills. I worked as a nursing assistant during nursing school, and had a private duty nurse north of where I live. It's horrifically painful. Frostbite sets in in a couple of minutes for exposed skin. I have also watched tornadoes go through my back yard while watching from my bedroom (took out 200 year old trees in the neighborhood), and have photos of tornadoes from when I lived in TX- there, summer temps could easily hit 120 per the thermometer on my window that was in the sun (as people were). We also got 25 inches of rain in one week in 2001 or 2002 (one of the last years I lived there). Back here in Illinois, i've also been through the Blizzard of 1979 and 2011. We got 18" of snow in 2011 over 36 hours. We also go the leftover tropical storms from the gulf in both Texas (cause of 25" of rain), and Illinois- though those were more just heavy 'calm' rain (vs thunderstorms). One of the tornadoes in 2011 happened when I was at my oncologist's office- I saw the radar on the tv in the waiting room, and saw the direction of the wind through the window... I knew what was coming, and they put a bunch of us bald, decrepit patients in a hallway, with IV pumps until it was over (it hit north of the office building).

[@Justin_Ebright]

Temps that low feel like you're both burning and freezing to death. It's a cold fire, a strong sting as you slowly freeze. Anything below -10°F is too cold for me. We often get down to and.sometimes subzero here in New Mexico. The desert is crazy, it can be 40-50°F in the afternoon and 6°F at night. Without a lot of moisture we don't hold heat. Most people don't know how cold deserts can get because of that.

[@davidterry6155]

If you were to calculate from freezing to -80 that is the equivalent of 112 degrees or 44.44 Celsius

[@revgurley]

The coldest I've been in was in Wisconsin visiting in-laws. It was Thanksgiving, so late November. They already had several feet of snow on the ground. The entire family went out one evening to a small restaurant/pub, and the temperature was 8F/-13C. It hurt to breathe. Your nose and mouth are instantly frozen, not to mention your ears. Never again. At least not voluntarily. (But I'm a southerner, so my body isn't used to those kind of temperatures.)

[@dianemiller7705]

Went to Fairbanks, Alaska to visit my son at Fort Wainwright. It was minus 42. Felt like my nose hairs were burning and my chest was kicked by a horse. Being from Tennessee, I was excited when it started snowing and I said to a clerk, it’s snow out there!! I was given the look like I was alien or something. In another visit, I let there with temps in the 40s and got home to 102. Again strange looks while carrying a winter coat in the heat

-21 last winter here in Denver. It feels like being sandblasted even when the air is still. It takes about a minute, even fully well dressed for the weather, to feel like you've been outside in the snow for hours with no relieving warmth. When you come back inside your skin burns and feels really tight.

[@199510111011]

Grew up in the Milwaukee area, and we frequently experience -30 to -40 degrees Fahrenheit with the wind chill in January. It's the kind of cold where in a few seconds of stepping outside, your eyes and nose start stinging because the moisture in them begins to freeze. If you go out with wet hair, it is frozen and crunchy in seconds. It hurts to breathe in too deep because the air is so cold in your lungs. My friend found herself without gloves during the 2 minute walk from her car to get into our school, so she poured hot coffee on her hands to avoid frostbite. It's no joke, for sure.

[@Padurin]

Hey Adam, I go to Vermont every year to teach kids how to ski. Vermont is all the way in the North so the winters are often very cold (especially in February). Last year it was -38°C and it felt like anytime i was outside my face was itching from how much it burned. I'd gladly get burned by a stove than work for 6 hours in that temperature!!

[@Bremen25]

The coldest I've ever experienced was -25. I couldn't find my keys in my purse because I couldn't feel my fingers.

[@Fightingforthelost]

The coldest I've ever experienced was -27F (-33C). The description of the "Air hurts my face" is good. A friend of mine from the south, however, had another description. The boogies in his nose froze while he was taking my kids to the bus stop. This was in the ballpark of -13F, not -27F. There's a level of cold where your joints ache, your skin hurts anywhere the air touches, and a blast of wind will cut through just about any clothing and make your eyes water.

[@checho575]

[@patkaiser7177]

I live in Illinois and the coldest I've seen in my area in the winter is -20. I've been through it many times. We hit -15 this past winter. It's dangerous because the pipes in your house can freeze up and burst. I've had pipes freeze but luckily none have ever broken. I have friends in Alaska that often hit -40 in the winter. Several years ago when I lived in the country we got so much snow in windy conditions that the snow drifted up over the tops of the cars in the back driveway. It took days to shovel them out because we had to shovel our way to the cars first. It was such heavy snow that our next door neighbor was able to get their suv up on top of the snow and drive to the store for all of us. Once we were done shoveling all that snow you had to drive through a wall of snow on each side of you. It was pretty crazy.

Currently in college, and it got down to about -10 last January. The thing is, here in the Midwest, we’re just used to it. So I still had to walk to class. You learn to adjust. You wear big jackets and good shoes and keep your hands in your pockets. I think it’s the only time I remember that everyone I walked past wasn’t looking at their phone at all. It was too cold to have your hands out, even with gloves on.

[@NarnianRailway]

in the 90s. -63F in Fairbanks AK. Some winters may get a week or two at -40F and below but that -63 was extreme. Keep heaters on cars plugged in and the seats like sitting on cold concrete, tires get flat spots. Moisture from exhausts leave a thick ice fog. Most winters, we would chuckle at forecasts when the Midwest had similar or colder temperatures because we did not get the bone chilling winds so Fairbanks winters did seem better. Drove across Midwest in winter, outside the wind is absolute misery and exponentially worse as winds increase. So much respect to the Midwesterners who endure those winters each year. Another time in Alaska, late snowfall in early May which lasted good week or so. Quick spring, summer and autumn when early heavy snow hit start of September, trees still had leaves and snow remained for another winter. ☃

[@manxkin]

The coldest my city has been (that I remember) was -27 degrees F in 1985. I’m about 40 miles north of Chicago. Pipes froze, tires went flat, car batteries died. I knew someone whose car’s plastic dashboard cracked. It was nuts. You need to be really careful to go outside. Dress appropriately and cover your face and head. This past July we had a derecho pass through here in Illinois that produced 32 tornados in Chicagoland.

[@someonenew3478]

We lost power that cold night so there is no official record of how cold it got (30 miles south of Chicago) - but no power means no heat inside either until you get the fireplace burning to heat a few rooms.

[@utilityaccount1954]

As a child in southern Quebec we would normally get a 7-10 day stretch between mid-Jan and mid-Feb when the nighttime low would be -40C / -40F and the daytime high would be -20C / -4F. At that temperature snow sounds like styrofoam when you calk on it. If I wanted to go skiing I had to spray a starter aerosol into the exposed carbueretor while my parent turned over the engine and this was after having plugged in the small heater to warm up the engine oil in the bottom of the crank case, for about an hour.

[@michelleponzio]

I've been in -10° before in the early 80s. I was in Wilkes-Barre, PA for a marching band tournament. It was warm on the fiekd because of marching and the lights, but in the stands? It was biting cold. I was so numb, and it was snowing.

When I was a kid in northern Michigan in the early 60s, we had -20 F days regularly. The coldest I remember was -40 F air temp, no idea what the wind chill might've been. It was a bright sunny day, school was cancelled because of the cold, our garage door was frozen shut. We bundled up and went outside to play in the snow.

[@NyxinOwl]

I've been in -54 F in Colorado, that was extreme obviously. But on my ranch we experience -20 often in the winter with the wind chill. We have a really nice barn but regardless of it being insulated, the waters for our horses freeze solid so we have to use electric buckets. However we often have power outages in that weather so with a private well dependent on electricity, we not only lose the heated buckets but water in general. We always have 200 gallons in big troughs at the ready we break up every 2 hours. Even over night. 200 gallons only lasts 2 days if there is no power BTW.

[@unclebubba1872]

The coldest temperature I ever experienced was -52°f during the blizzard of 1978. It's the only time in my life that I witnessed thunder & lightning in a snowstorm. We ended up with over 60" of snowfall at the start of the storm and snowdrifts in excess of 30' in my immediate area (about 20 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA). We were used to harsh winters in that region, but nothing like what 1978 brought us.

[@danahollenbeck8052]

That cold feels like a smack in the face over and over, you get ice in your nose when you breath in. Plus you need to beware of skin damage.

[@Maria_Erias]

When I first moved back to Vermont about a decade ago, my first February back, the temperature didn't get above -20F for the entire month. It was so cold that the village water main actually froze. When it gets that cold, as surprising as it is to say, you stop noticing it. You dress to keep the wind off (because the wind is killer), so that means you bundle up. Multiple layers, vest, overcoat. Hat, hood, and something over your face. Because if you get caught in that wind, which might be a good 10-15 degrees colder than the air temperature, it feels like razor blades on your face - for all of about 5-10 seconds. Then it goes numb, and frostbite can set in in minutes. But if you're properly protected from the wind, and you keep moving, properly insulated clothes will keep you warm. Just make sure not to blink for too long if you aren't wearing eye protection, though, because the moisture in your eyes can actually cause them to freeze shut. Rubbing them with bare fingers will warm them up enough to open them again, but it usually has a few moments of blind panic before you realize to do that.

[@GP-vz4ko]

I lived in Minot, North Dakota every year 30 below was routine. And that sort of weather your car won’t start unless you have a heater on the engine block that you plug-in wherever you park your car at the shopping mall movie theaters at home at work. If you spit in the air, it freezes before it hits the ground.. if you touch any vinyl parts in your car, you will actually watch a slow motion crack move across the entire piece of trim. It is brutal.

[@Randpage]

Coldest I've ever seen it get is where I grew up in the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY. The temperature dropped to -34F in the winter of 1992-93. I took a glass of water and threw it up in the air and it came down as ice crystals. You have to cover your mouth with a scarf because the air is so cold it makes it harder to breathe, if you breathe too deep you start coughing. You have to keep blinking your eyes because the fluid covering them keeps trying to freeze. You can feel the snot in your nose constantly trying to freeze. It's something.

[@jrafel1707]

We had a polar vortex drop down from the artic a few years ago. The temperature at night dropped to -26F (-32C) With wind chills -42F . Ice was forming between the outside doors and door frames. If you stepped outside, it literally took your breath away, your eyelashes and nostrils froze and if you threw boiling water in the air, it froze before it hit the ground. Any exposed skin froze in minutes. When you are still freezing going outside for short times with 3 layers of clothes/coat, it's beyond cold.

[@afarmer3751]

I am from the suburbs of Chicago. I was born in a blizzard, with the power out. I am used to the cold, you could say. At -20, it is imperative to keep your skin covered. A few minutes without gloves and you will get frostbit. It is hard to breathe because the air is so cold, a face covering like a gaiter helps with this and to keep your nose from frostbite. Theres something about the air when its that cold, a smell, very fresh and crisp, or perhaps lack of smell. You will feel the hairs freeze and thaw in your nose. Touching metal outdoors can burn you from the cold. We would boil water on the stove to put humidity in the air, and leave taps running to keep the pipes from freezing. We have insulated double pane windows and the condensation would still freeze on them. You can tell which houses are well insulated, the snow might not melt off the roof for weeks or until the weather gets warmer. The old mercury vapor lamps in our detached garage couldn't get warm enough to light up, we had to heat them with portable incandescent work lights until they did. Lots of people's cars died or wouldnt start, from old or weak batteries. I remember getting many uses out of the extra long jumper cables I had recently bought.

Not this summer, but last summer for a few weeks, the Northeastern US was blanketed with smoke from forest fires in Canada. There were days in New York City where the air turned brown.

Standing out there with AAA, my corneas froze and were scratched. Very painful.I withdrew job applications in the Midwest and got out an almanac to look for better weather. That's why I am in Oregon. We get black snow in MN. In a blizzard, the WInd lifts the topsoil in North Dakota and Saskatchewan, mixes it with the snow. Dewey Bergquist, the wearherman, called it snirt.
