Went to Buffalo last November year to see the Pats play. We went to Niagara Falls during the day, in the snow and wind so between that and the mist it was bitter cold. Then they moved the game to Sunday Night and that was just dead cold air.
Being far from a world traveler and being from Mizzip, I've not been many really really cold places, but a couple of occasions leap to mind.
1. State championship football game in Jackson about five years ago. Temps dropped into the teens during the game and the wind was awful. I was there taking pictures for my newspaper job and to make it worse the team I was covering lost with around 30 seconds left. Probably the most miserable three hours I have ever spent in my life!
2. Memphis last January is another. I left heading up for the Foo Fighters concert and drove through ice and sleet the whole way. When I got to Memphis the valet asked where in the hell I had come from because the sides of my truck were totally covered in ice. The ice got to memphis that evening...luckily I had a belly full of sauce to keep me warm
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
I used to live in Fraser, CO. They fight with International Falls, MN over use of the "Icebox of the Nation" slogan. It routinely falls to forty below in the winter. The growing season averages 4-7 days per year :eek:
Now, I live in Vegas. Go figure.

hmmm. probably up in northern minnesota. Was there when a town nearby recorded -60 degreee F. down here in the cities its gotten to like -40. i like the cold but only to a certain extent
The coldest I've ever been was arriving in Prague at about 6am on New Years Eve in 1996.
But I'm going to the highest point in Northern China next month - Wutai mountain - and I expect it will be about -20.
my driveway, every winter.
**edit**
didn't really make it clear where that's located. i'm in central ny. currently living in phoenix, ny (which is about 20-30 minutes south of oswego, and 20 minutes north of syracuse). it gets effing cold around here in the winter. dry cold, too. you can actually feel the texture of the air when you take in a breath.
The coldest time I've been outside and did stuff was when we went snowboarding in -15 degrees (celcius). Now that was cold! Especially when I was jumping down from a small "mountain" (I can't be bothered to look in the dictionary right now) and landed face-down right in the snow and I had snow all over, also on the inside of my clothes.
Coldest place I've ever been would have been back home (a place in the mountains of norway) where it's been down to -30. But then we just had a wonderful excuse to stay at home since the bus to school wouldn't start if it got under -25.
Probably tailgaiting at a Bufalo Bills game a few years ago...........it was so fucken cold I couldn't take it. I am from upstate NY too, so I should be used to it!
Out of the Blue and Into the Black................Uncle Neil Philly 08 here I come!!!!

Where I live and surrounding area. Technically the coldest would be Ottawa, but my town is right on Lake Ontario and gets freakishly cold. And damp. I've been to many colder places, like Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Iroquois Falls/Timmins, but smartly enough not in the dead of winter.
yup, but it's not as hot and dry as phoenix, az. or as big. phoenix, ny is just a little village. i hated living here when we first moved out here, and told my wife as soon as we could we would be moving back to syracuse. but after a few months i had changed my mind. we've been in phoenix now for about 5 years and i don't ever want to leave the community. we're currently renting, but as soon as we get our credit back in good shape, we'll be looking for a place out here.
worst winter i've seen since living out here was 2 years ago. my wife was in florida with my mom, working. i took the time off work so i could be home with the kids (i work nights). ended up snowing like a mofo and school was cancelled the whole time my wife was gone. so much snow had fallen the first night, we didn't even bother to try to dig the car out. our fridge was stocked, so we didn't need any food. after about 4 days, i was going nuts. a grown man can only take talking to children and watching cartoons for so long. i needed company in the adult form. it was a hard week, but we made it through. it snowed so much the first 3 nights the roof on the garage caved in. thankfully, it was an old garage that our landlord was going to tear down anyway, so there was nothing in it.

But last night was pretty bitterly cold at -18C.
you get a lot of that lake effect snow out your way? we usually get a shit-ton, or it just misses us. so far we've been lucky. just up the road in fulton they got crazy snow and our ground was still bare. we've got snow now, but nothing too major.

In my immediate town, Kingston, we do. But the northern edge of the city gets considerable less snow because the lake effect pulls all their snow towards the lake.... Then half an hour north of that you get a tonne of snow again.
Now Prince Edward County is near me, and they get dumped on! It's a peninsula stuck out in Lake Ontario, so they get it from all sides....
Probably a day I did my daily job when I was 15 living in Kansas City picking up garbage from a strip center parking lot before school. Temperature was around -10 F with a windchill of around -25. I was crying it was so cold. And my tears froze. :(
Sapporo on the Island of Hokkaido. I just finished reading a book about a Canadian fella who hitchhiked from the southern tip of Japan to the Northern tip - 'Hokkaido Highway Blues'. It's a funny book.

I might have to check it out
amazing place
actually i see you are in china
Ive been to some cold places in shandong province
ankorage alaska. however, we went in june...so pretty damn warm.
i'd say prague was pretty cold, but i didn't get to stay past the end of november so definitely did not experience it's coldest temps. so for actual coldest temps i'd guess burlington, vermont as we definitely were up there in the dead of winter. COLD!

Coldest day on record, in the history of the universe.

There's a 'Phoenix' in NY too?
But last night was pretty bitterly cold at -18C.
