What is the coldest temperature any of you have ever been in?

The coldest that I have been in was -70*! The thermometer only goes to -60 so we had to go check WeatherUnderground to find out what the temperature was. Coldest day of my life!

That’s a temperature that not even Savell would last long in!

Minus 60 for a few days.
Hydraulics wouldnt work on the RR hi rail truck so we had to use the fairmont.Rails and angle bars were snapping after every train.We had to keep the railsaws and drills inside the bunkhouse by the wood stove,and start them and let them run until we got to the work sites.
When I drove home from the crossing on friday in my old ford f-100 all 4 tires had flat spots for several miles from the frozen rubber.

Ice fishing in the most northern town in NH... Pittsburg...twas -45 ...and no wind ..thank God

Not to offend anyone, but I'm doubting -70. I've only seen -50 a few times working on the slope, -40 is pretty standard stuff. The coldest temp ever recorded in deadhorse was -62 and it was 30 years ago when I was still wet behind the ears

-23 in SW PA

-40 Catskills

-30 camped out in wy. killed my pickup battery. had to push start it. bouncing over rocks while it started broke the plastic reservoir on the side of the radiator. cold enough the plastic was brittle. went to town and bought some stop leak and several gallons of antifreeze. long trip to town. got low enough on coolant heater quit working. windows fogged up from breathing. made it through the rest of the trap trip till i got home and could get a new radiator. stop leak worked pretty good. only had to add coolant about every other day.

-30 in Lisbon, ND in Janruary of 1997. We had some windchills in the same time frame that were supposedly in -60 to -70 range. As I was telling someone a couple of weeks ago when it gets below -20 in my book it all feels the same as you had better be completely covered in clothes.

-20 feels alright -30 isn't even terrible, but any colder and it's hard to get anything done because you can't take your mits off more than about 30 seconds without your fingers locking up and going numb. Not to mention it feels like if you don't blink once per second your eyes might freeze open

We wore lots of layers working on the moosonee line in winter.
Sweating will kill you.Strip right down to sweater when shovelling,shimming,pulling spikes and spiking.
Before the ride back after work the foreman would go into the bush and make a fire while the men finished up
Then we would thaw out our sandwiches and do a tea boil up.Nice and dry for the long ride back to headquarters.
The fairmonts were open cars with canvas curtains.If the snow was getting to a point where the belt would drag we had to tie a snowshovel to the bumper to make a groove for the belt,LOL
Lots of fun working on the railroad.
We had to cut our own firewood for the bunkhouse on our own time.
Just like staying in the trap cabin.

When I was in my 20's I would have agreed with you. These days, +30 isn't terrible, +20 is tolerable and anything colder makes me wonder why I am still here.

160 fair enough. I feel the same about anything above 60° or so, I don't know how people live like that and especially don't get why that's so sought after. I went to Hawaii and HATED that place, not a fan of Mexico either but it's at least less expensive to be hot and miserable. I can't even imagine being in 100° weather, I'd probably keel over

When I was in my 20's and maybe even early 30's a day on the Tundra trapping beaver under the ice at -10 or -20 wasn't that big of a deal. My Ham slice MRE didn't freeze and the beavers dried fast in the snow. Now, I am cold in the house at 70. I fought fire near Lake Havasu on the 4th of July about 2005 or 2006 and it was 117. It was too hot to even light the turbine on the helicopter. As near as I can tell, I have become "Temperature Sensitive" in my old, grouchy age. I did enjoy the day outside working on deer stands today though.

I cant stand the heat anymore.
Can tolerate cold pretty good if got the right fur and clothes.
Real cold anymore I just stay in til it warms a bit.

I only take fire calls as a faller, so I've avoided working in the desert and always get sent into the mountains, but it still gets way too hot in most of the L48 for my liking. These days I only take 1 or 2 fire assignments per season, I have plenty of other things to do and I don't really need the money. I mostly do it to shut my friend up (he's been my cutting partner for 15 years, so he won't go with anyone else, but he does need the money)

I think everyone needs to calibrate. Are we talking C or F?

Almost every year it gets to at least -60. Keep on eye on North Pole temps you’ll see what I mean.

We live in a valley right next to the Chena River and it is known locally as the coldest spot around Fairbanks. Last year we got down to -65

I'm familiar with Chena

In the Uintah Basin we get inversions sometimes when the cold air gets trapped in the valley and it stays calm and gets cold until a storm system clears it out. One winter in the late 80's in Vernal Utah it got down to -35. That winter the inversion set in and it was foggy and miserably cold. We didn't see the sun in the valley for a month and it stayed below zero with the coldest nights -20 to -35. People were struggling to get theirs cars started. people were using electric blankets, heat lamps, space heaters or whatever to keep the oil warm enough to start their car. It was depressing. The only cool thing was how long all the ice crystals got on all the vegetation - that was very pretty. Luckily I could get in my patrol truck and go 20 or 30 minutes up north or south and get above the inversion. When I got above the clouds it was bright and sunny and got up into the 30s. Driving back home the top of the clouds almost looked like a white ocean. When you dropped into it you could immediatly feel the temperature drop and smell the pollution and wood smoke.

I would not want to live in a place where -30's and below is the norm! This year we've only got a couple skiffs of snow that melted right off. The coldest night so far was probably about 15. It's been a very mild enjoyable winter and I haven't missed moving snow. I just hope we get more in the mountains and some good spring rains.

-48 winter before last. I don't want to experience another winter like 22-23.
