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 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.
What is the coldest temperature you've been exposed to?

We don't need central heat here. We'll never do I think.
Yeah I live in San Diego. It's a freezing 65 degrees every day.
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 was suffering at 60.3, I can't imagine the temperature being lower.
