So it's been colder here (well, 5 kms from here) in the last 20 years than NYC has. Sounds a bit suspect to me.
-9.4°C / 15°F is the coldest temperature that I've experienced firsthand.
The lowest temperature recorded in my area of NYC is -2°F (-18.9°C) in 1985, however the lowest it's gone in my lifetime is 0°F (-17.7°C) in 1994, I highly doubt I experienced it, but even if I did, I don't remember what it felt like since I was a year old at the time lol.
It's got down to -35°C where I live which is also the coldest I've experienced. It was years ago but I remember my jeans froze into two solid tubes in seconds.
Don't laugh... 35degrees F (live in San Diego CA so don't get many super-freezing weather experiences)
vacationing in NewEngland late September, woke 4:00 a.m... opened the motel door to greet the morning as i always do... this cold blast hit me - the temp was 35F !
after the initial shock, i found it exhilarating! LOVED IT the air fairly sparkled with crisp cold, and the starry sky looked icy black like you could shatter it!
3F in Memphis, it was windy as heck so it felt more like -15F. I think it was 1996. Wish I would've been around in 1985 and 1989 because it went below zero then.
The coldest I can remember was a 7F morning in my South Carolina hometown sometime when I was in grade school. It was very cold for our standards, but the wind wasn't blowing--I remember many a cold morning waiting on the bus and everyone huddling together when it was cold and windy...but not that particular morning!
It's got down to -35°C where I live which is also the coldest I've experienced. It was years ago but I remember my jeans froze into two solid tubes in seconds.
14F/-10C here in 2008. I remember being outside in my backyard in a t-shirt to see what it felt like, looking at the moon reflecting off the snow.
