-31F is coldest I've ever been in. I'll take cold over hot any day of the week though. When it gets in the 90's with high humidity you just die, at least when it's cold you can throw some layers on and stay warm. Any snowboarder knows it's not hard to break a sweat in below freezing temps.
I am going to say -15 to -35f which was the difference in the base of the mountain and the peak.
I have my temp set to to cool at 78f and let me tell you it feels chilly at times when the ceiling fans are going and the air is blowing. I have to get a blanket..
I dont think I can handle being cold anymore. Thank goodness I live in Florida...

The coldest I've experienced is in '86..... - 46C, thats (-51F); the wind chill factor was off the scale..... skin froze in seconds. Spent three days in a tented encampment....!... lol...
I jumped on October 17th where the temp at exit according to my altitrack was -23C... 
After that I think I'd go again. I was layered properly and I'm kinda thick skinned to start with anyway..
It can get 
nasty cold up here.
Half-Way to 'A' and lovin' them blue skies...

QuoteWow, that's right. It was cold when you came out here. Guess you're lucky I turned on the heater
LOL...very lucky! Although, if you hadn't you would have had the glory of being able to say you turned Skymama into a popsicle.

I've worked outside when it was -26 with 20-mph winds and gusty and broke a sweat. The work seemed to keep my mind off the cold.

That's funny! I am in the very small town of Lefor, which is about 15 minutes away from Dickinson. If I get a chance tomorrow maybe I will go take a look at that church.
Man, some of you guys are much braver than me! Today it got up to 30 degrees, even 10 degrees above zero is a giant difference. 30 was almost tropical!
I used to live in Phoenix, and on some of the hottest days our thermostat was set at 80f, and coming inside felt like entering a meat locker!!! When I went to Miami for the first time a few months back it was 100f and 100% humidity, and that is the most god awful feeling ever. I am not envious of you Florida folk. It is all a matter of perspective, I suppose.
Bill- I think you take the cake for cold conditions! That does sound fun though. I bet if your altimeter broke you would be in trouble, solid white ground cannot be easy for determining your altitude visually.

Grew up in Northern Minnesota. I remember a temperature of about 40 below zero with a wind chill of minus-100. They were telling cars to get off of the highway because if you went into a ditch, you'd freeze to death before someone found you.
There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...
Damn! That is no joke either, last night I was driving between Idaho falls and Twin falls, and there were cars in the ditch at a rate of about 1 per mile.... The road was pure ice. Dangerous!
I have only been as cold as -82F it was not fun at all.
I also worked a 12 hour day outside in -28F and wind chills of -84F.
That sucked and by fingers froze to the inside of my gloves where the tips had split and bled.

Good to see your boobies did not fall off.
Those suckers are very warm and can stop someone from losing their hands....
I'm just sayin'
20F in the tent last night...Brrrrrrr.
It was Denver, CO in December, 1983. It was somewhere around -20. Wind chills were in the -50 range. It hurt to breathe in that stuff. I think it went 4 or 5 days without ever getting above zero.
