-40. Look at my name and you'll understand. Just looked it up and apparently I live in one of the coldest cities in the world hahahaha. It is sort of strange considering it often gets up to about 90 during the summer.
60.3 degrees Farenheit is the coolest I've known. And I swear guys that I was freezing!
No, in a tropical island. We had a real bad winter and the temperature dropped to this^ :)
my aunt lives on an island. not a tropical one, but the coldest it ever gets there is 58.
until last year. last December, they got 2 days when it got down to 27 degrees (and it was almost 50 for me! that day) the islanders were so unprepared, most of the buildings had plumbing problems, many wrecks (for those that dared drive. (no one has a 4x4, or even knows how to drive in the snow. she pulled a couple drivers out of a ditch with her van) most of the houses don't even have central heat cause it never gets cold there. she was prepared though, considering she grew up and lived until recently in Missouri.
I'm not surprised at 60.3 degrees. I've been in the upper midwest in the USA when it was at least 28 below zero.
i remember about 4 years ago, they were talking on the news about -30 in north Dakota and about -36 in most of Minnesota. it was -10 that day for folks here in the st louis area.
about the coldest I've known. -10. happened a couple of times.
once, in 2007, i was up 6am headed to the bus stop for school. and again in 2010 or 2011, Both times in January. the second time, the bridge that connects our backyard and driveway (there divided by a creek with a cliff overlooking the creek. our backyard, besides what the house sits on, is a hill.) fell when water cracked the rock holding the bridge up.
It was somewhere between -20 and -30. This is with wind chill. It's not uncommon for the weather to drop below 0 in my hometown.
-7 Celsius. I live in Curitiba, Brazil, and it never gets colder than that
In the single digits several times in NJ,not taking the wind chill into consideration.Not recently though.
It hit single digits in Nuevo Mexico 2 years ago but lets face it, I wasn't exposed to it because no way in hell I'd go outside even with rolling blackouts...my apartment was still warmer. Anyways, the coldest I've actually been exposed was a playoff football game in Wisconsin that was mid January. It was probably 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit with a couple inches of snow on everyone's head. Couldn't really see the game and if someone near me got up to go pee or something...game over. So, I was exposed for about 4 hours. Great times :)
If you live in Maryland where they use Fahrenheit, why are you answering in Celsius, especially since the poll is in Fahrenheit also?
I'm not 100% sure, but it was somewhere around -10 degrees WITH the wind chill.
I suppose it could have been worse. Lol.
About -20 when I was in Poland. It looked very nice but didn't feel nice.
about 20 degrees F around town but i've been to the snow and it was much colder
No idea because I don't keep a thermometer with me. It's always cold at winter in England though so probably pretty damn cold.
-19F for one straight week. The house & windows were making weird popping sounds.
...You must be joking. I just made an ice castle by leaving a bucket of water outside today. Lol.
-27 F
I was in Harbin, China mid winter. They have beautiful ice sculptures everywhere. Icicles formed in my eyelashes and nose.
It was for a school travel program. I also remember that our little tour bus had just enough heat to keep the front window clear of ice but the inside windows were caked in ice as we drove around on pure ice. We sat in each other's laps to keep warm. I try to remember that experience when I complain about being cold.
It was a pretty rural area and I'm not sure how people heated their homes. The restaurants in the area had little space heaters at the tables and were only open a few hours a day. Not many had vehicles. I was quite impressed with the people who rode bicycles on the ice. They didn't even have tires for their bikes, just the metal rims!
-29 F° on a snowboarding trip.
i was suprised how long it took me too find a good celcius to fahrenheit converter on the web
-27 F. Ice crystals formed over bodies of water so heavily that it blanketed the ground nearby like snow...but the sky was clear.
-18, my cousin threw me in a cold water dip thing at this temperature and I nearly drowned although we had a good laugh later when we tricked my other cousin to jump in it.
-20˚C (-4˚F) and it was a beautiful night in Invercargill which is quite close to Antarctica. Those southerly winds can be colder though.
