    Vail and Breckenridge during January. We're not used to those temperatures in North Carolina. Of course it's a "dry cold" right? Great skiing though. Can't complain too much.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    but you've never visited her there? There are actually a lot of foreigners residing there because of it's cool climate...if you go further, you'll reach the Banawe Rice Terraces...
    what is essential is invisible to the eye

    apparently, 07162056 is THE date...

    When I lived in Kenyon, MN we had some less than zero days. Not sure how bad it was with the wind chill. I did, however, learn that it is VERY painful to try to change from snowboots to ice skates outside in that kind of cold. OUCH!!!! :eek:
    Walking can be a real trip

    I'm sure I've been to colder places, but somehow Vancouver last December was the coldest I've ever felt. I was chilled to the bone, and couldn't wait to be in Seattle, where it was one degree warmer :)

    At the very top in the French Alps one afternoon during a skiing holiday. I was as warm as toast but we were told it was -22C with the wind chill. There was no stopping for a quick pee behind a bush there.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    NYC Jan '03. I don't know if temperature wise it was the coldest ... but it is the coldest I've felt.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I'm right there with the two of you. Amazingly cold here in Upstate NY. Once when I was a kid we came back from St. Croix - 80 degrees to -28 in one day. A change of more than 100 degrees!

    -40 fahrenheit is -40 celsius i think.
    i know the conversion table freakls out at some point
    and the conversion pattern changes.

    anyhow,

    -40f in the late 70's in northeast iowa.
    2007 december driving a semi-truck to/from Alaska.
    the Yukon was -40f when we were broke down.
    numb hands and feet just about instantly.

    -40 is the same in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. To calculate the conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the following formula:

    °F to °C - Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9
    °C to °F - Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

    I lived in Vermont for 4 years and experienced many subzero days. I do remember driving one time (not sure how my car worked) when it was -20F without the windchill.

    I don't miss the VT winters. Loved the skiing, but the really cold weather just wore me out.

    One time it was one of those butt-cold nights and I went to open my car door. After I unlocked it, the door wouldn't budge. With a few slight tugs I ripped the door handle off. It was that brittle.

    Coldest I've ever been was while fighting an apartment house fire on a cold night in January in NJ. I was drenched and when I walked outside to our fire engine all my turn out gear froze up. Had to go back in the building for a while to get thawed.

    Not sure exactly, but the wife and I snow camp in the mountains of Central Idaho in the dead of winter, so... Basically, you dig a snow cave and hope for the best.

    Chicago. Last winter. For about 2 straight weeks it did not get above 10 degrees, regular temperature. With the wind chill, it was well below 0... for TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS!!
    Back in high school I remember it hit -20 something.. They actually closed school for a day.

    I went to Minnesota once. It's definitely about 10 degrees colder there on average.
