Current location? About 28F. (Tampa, FL)

My old location? -20F. With the wind chill -45F. (Vernon, CT)

It was a horrible arctic blast that I will NOT forget. (schools were actually closed that day because they didn't want kids waiting outside for a bus in those cold temps!)

That coldest temp also was the day my thermostat broke in my car and there was a detour on the way home due to an accident. (normally 3-5 min ride home, that day 15 mins)

After that, I knew I had to move someplace warmer!

-26°C or -15°F in 1996. I was likely indoors during the event though.

Not uncommon to see -30's (F) every other yr and have seen -40F several times in my life ND/NW MN & that's ambient temp.. Then add the wind chills, that's a whole new game.

Those temps don't bother me all that much because those temps tend to be dry. +10/20F with 60% humidity with a wind in GRR felt far - far colder.. Its the length of winters up here that are making me understand snow-birds....

Good post.

Wow. Never would've guessed.

The coldest it has been here is -4F back in 1989. The coldest I have ever experienced was around -6F while on a camping trip at Linville Gorge a few years ago and I only had a +15 F sleeping bag. That was a very cold night.

-5 F in New Brunswick, NJ during the winter of 2004. NYC hit 1 F that same night.

Every 10 years we get negative temperatures. We are long overdue. Hopefully, 2014 might be able to milk out a couple negative lows for NJ.

We get negative lows most years up in the northwest corner of the state. At least 0 F/-17 C.

[Hiromant]

-35°C but that was a while ago. Last year it hit -30°C.

When I've lived here, it's only reached as low as -11°C.
