We are at 600' elevation east of Seattle, so colder in winter than Seattle. While we love it here, the coldest days of winter are barely tolerable, I couldn't live anywhere that is colder. We have been here 25 years and have gotten down to 10F a couple of times, but usually average 20-35F, maybe a few days at 15-18F.
What is the coldest place in the United States of America you could live in if you had to?Mine would be Albuquerque,New Mexico or Denver,Colorado or Lubbock, Texas.I am curious to hear yours everybody.Thanks in advance.
The *coldest* place in the mainland US is the area around Fargo, ND. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living there. It's growing very rapidly in population and seems like a decent little northern Midwestern city. I'm from the Midwest so it's hard to find any place colder than here other than parts of Alaska, Siberia, and Antarctica.
If we're not talking about *frigid* or extreme cold, I guess Denver or Utah.
