coldest Ive ever experienced was in Belmont, Iowa  16 below

a few days later it warmed up to 30 and those craze Iowans were walking around in their shirt sleeves

couldnt wait to get out of corn country
gonna be 35 here in Iowa today

I'll be wearing a jacket and gloves if I'm out very long

of course, 30s seems pretty warm after a few days and nights at -16 to -26
I've been ice fishing in Minnesota were it was negative 40

Got some rain drops this morning, and looks like it should rain some into the weekend.  So the highways will be extra fun - desert-dwellers on wet roads and all.

Similar here, though not as extreme.  Austin's not technically a desert, but it has few enough rainy days that nobody here knows how to drive in it.

And a light mist after weeks of dry, is actually the worst, because the roads get really greasy and slick, but people don't slow down because it's not actually raining.

I once had to jump my car with a dead battery and drive to work on a morning when it was -35 and windy. I think that was the coldest temperature ever recorded in Rochester.

About -30 is my low mark.  I still found ice storms to be worse/more miserable.    My thing w neg 30 type weather, the anxiety around pipes and furnace failures.   Irrational or not it creeps in your mind.  

On flip side,  my car overheated/vapor lock while driving on I90 near Murdo, SD.  It was 111 degrees and very windy.    That was a bottom 3 weather situation in my lifetime.

My 1981 Dodge Omni had a crappy VW engine in it, that would vapor lock on an almost-daily basis down here in Texico.  I guess the Germans never planned on their engines enduring Texas summers.

one of the things I liked about my 65 Volkswagen (college car) was the fact that the engine was air-cooled

no need to worry about radiators of water pumps

No one ever explained rain to you?

You need to watch the weather guy.

The lowest official I've seen was -24°F, my buddy had -33°F that day out in the country.  Cincinnati has the coldest recorded low on record in the state of Ohio, -25°F, I think in 1977.  

At -40, °F = °C which is about the freezing point of mercury.

The coldest I have ever felt was -18°F with 40-50 mph winds, and I recall the Bengals were playing a playoff game against the Chargers, that's how far back that was.  Bengals won.

I was going outside to get more wood, we had a heat pump that had no chance of keeping up using resistance heating.

I am a fan of these water source heat pumps though.
