I can’t remember THE coldest. They started to all blend together. The worst have been on days with 31’ish degrees and 100% humidity facing wind.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

When Newt and I got ship wrecked a few years back I dont wish to be that cold ever again in an Atlantic ocean bay.
Soaking and treading water in 38-41 degree water would have done us in before the sun set that day I am sure. An amazing story of survival. Glad you guys made it.

I hate the cold. I had to change a flat tire in -2° with a significant windchill. Glad I am a mechanic with experience working in a tire shop. I changed that tire in just over 2 mins. I just chucked everything in the bed of my P/U when done.
Cold sucks , I get just cringes reading these threads.

I had an ingrown hair or some sort of massive pimple on the back of my head. Was sore for days. I get out of the shower one morning and go outside. When my skin tightened from the cold that sucker exploded. The ooze then froze to my hair. Walking back to the house I was able to peel the whole thing off. Thank you Pike. That mental image you provided just made my morning's cup of coffee extra special... Jack

Not the coldest ambient temperature or even the worst windchill. Thanksgiving day 1990 my company loaded our equipment on the railhead at Ft.McCoy . Teens and single digits , cold steel objects and no place to go to get warm for 36 hours. The most heat you got was from the coffee or soup from the mermites .
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

Sitting standby diver in Puget Sound, Wa. Surface temp was 34-36 Deg F. I started to get hypothermic in the rain, OIC didn't believe me. I thought my skin was crawling.
