How cold is it ? I drive from California to the Northwoods of Minnesota in the winter to go ice fishing. The coldest temperature I have experienced is -37ºF. It was cold enough that if you took off your goggles you could feel your eyeballs start to freeze. I learned a fun fact: at -40º propane doesn't vaporize to create any pressure in the tank so the gas stops flowing and your heater goes out. Thanks for the video Jimmy !!!

[@MarkBerg-tk8js]

Propane ok, it’s methane that stops! Think winter of 1996 3 Sunday s in a row 50. Below. F. We had 60 below once. In south of Bigfork mn

[@noyopacific]

@@MarkBerg-tk8js I think you may have swapped the attributes of propane with methane - also called natural gas. The boiling point of methane (at atmospheric pressures) where it produces a gaseous vapor is -259.6°F. Propane has a boiling point of -44°F. At temperatures around -40ºF the vapor pressure of propane is so low that the gas doesn't flow through regulators and supply lines well enough to keep most propane appliances burning. BTW, our fishing shack is north of the Littlefork River in Cook, MN.

[@chitlitlah]

Below the boiling point, the vapor pressure will be less than atmospheric pressure and it'll suck air into the bottle. At just four degrees above it, it'll be little more than an ant fart coming out of the bottle. You know it's cold when propane is acting more like butane.

I lived in Fairbanks in 74/75. It was brisk. I remember the Spring day when people set out chaise lounges to sun tan. That was the first day it went above zero all winter. I think it went to about -60F one night, although it was hard to tell night from day. Definitely chilly so I moved to the deep south to a small town 70 miles NE of WInnipeg Manitoba. In that town I knew people who fled south to get away from the cold. They went to North Dakota and Minnesota. The negative of that town was that in addition to having daytime highs of -30 it was also windy. I live in Maine now where it seldom gets cold. I do live on an island off the coast so the ocean keeps us warm.

Coldest place I was at was Presque Isle, Maine in the winter in the 80's. Stayed at a place that had music on Friday & Saturday night. The locals showed up on snow mobiles. Great time but VERY cold.

Twelve blizzards hit both states one winter about five years ago - streets were flanked by such high snowbanks in my town that they were reduced to only one narrow lane, which were only travelable for almost two weeks by walking in the middle of the streets to go get groceries cuz driveways were buried beyond ever experiencedB4 ... looked & felt like being between Norway fjords ... wish i was kidding. The coldest I've survived here was -39°F. Actual Air temp with a wicked -65°F. Wind Chill temp on my way to work. I asked a local NOAA meteorologist which temp is worse cuz I wanted to make lapel bragging buttons proclaiming what I'd survived - he said, once you get down past the below freezing temp of -32°F. it doesn't really matter; when pressed, though, he said the -65° Wind Chill temp would be the worse of the two temps to have to venture outside in or work outside in. My town just had the 1st frost & hard freeze yesterday ... yippee ... daylight hours have been quickly diminishing daily, too - soon it'll be pitch-dark outside around 4:10pm ... go to work in pitch-black & leave work in pitch-blackness - thank goodness for liquid Vitamin D, which i medically lack without it ...

[@zappafanseeker1099]

I was born in Fairbanks, and lived my first forty some years there and further north. I would pick Deadhorse as the coldest small town. Couple of fun facts. When I was in elementary and junior high school, girls had to wear skirts or dresses to school till it was -20 or colder out. There was/is? a yearly contest of when the First national Bank outdoor Temperature sign would first flash -40. They put big tripods out in the middle of the Chena river in Fairbanks, and one in Nenana, and people bet money on when the tripods will float downriver during breakup and trip a timer. We are talking big money here. The biggest prize so far was $350,000. There is a little town 14 miles south of Fairbanks, North Pole, which certainly would make the list proposed. Snow in Alaska in winter is more a sign of warm weather than cold. Snow means low pressure and it can't happen much below zero. The most snow occurs in the deep south around Valdez, where it can snow as much as 500 inches in a year (Thompson pass). On the North coast it might only snow a few inches, and spend all winter blowing back and forth snowing sideways at -60 to -80.

[@SqueakyWheelMakesNoise]

The Brainerd lakes area is kinda the stopping point south for the cold. When I lived in crosby it would be snow on the ground but drive down to st cloud it was a good 20 to 30 degrees warmer. Heck in Aitkin Minnesota I was in 30 below with the wind chill factor making it feel like 60 below. Any skin exposed would get a cold burn. Even just checking the mail during the winter all skin needed to be covered

Montana winter in general are brutal. Last December, in 36 hours, the temp went from -38F as a daytime high to 40F. Town: Great Falls. I have also experienced winter on the hi line, Missoula, Helena, Bozeman,Troy, Havre, and Sidney.

Montana, definitely!!! I love cold, but definitely the dry cold is the best 😉👍🏻

Haven’t been through Michigan in the winter only in the summer and I kinda like the state.

[@loboheeler]

Yes, there are a lot of places that are nice in the Summer, but miserable on the Winter.

Thanks for the recommendations on where I should live!

[@angiegracie6954]

I moved south and I love it however I’d love to go live somewhere cooler in a small town for July and August since is just soooo hot in the summer here. Have you done a video of “Small Cool Affordable Towns to Escape to During Hot Summers”.??? I don’t consider it a vacation so I don’t need exciting tourist towns although that wouldn’t be horrible. lol

Everyone in New Hampshire and Massachusetts cringed everytime you said "Concord". I'm not going to correct you, you do you. LOL The people in California were like "Yep, he pronounced it right". LOL You know your thoughts on being somewhere hot? These are my exact thoughts on being somewhere cold. I got 30 years of New England winters and that was enough. Been in Texas since 1996....it's like a whole nother country. HAHA!

[@nancykelly9393]

Re "Concord" - I'm from California, and he pronounced it wrong. Last syllable should be "curd", not "cord".

[@andreabradley5837]

How are your summers though?

Love Marquette and Concord

[@davel7014]

I could not handle the long, very cold winters in those northern states. Shame, as some of them look like nice places to live.

[@johnpierce1802]

Just an added comment on the coldest temperatures - I was in Fairbanks in 1974 and recall seeing the temperature board on a bank saying the temperature was - 74 degrees and I believe the same temperature of minus 74 degrees was also stated for somewhere in the state of Montana in the same year - 1974
