When I lived in Great Falls, MT, the temperature one night was -26 with a wind chill of -52. You could barely open the door because it was frozen shut.

That was the coldest I ever was. Hypothermic for an hour...wet and cold all day...I got to the point where my muscles were getting weak from all the shivering prior.

That way you worded it, that sounds like it was the coldest you ever were after riding a water ride. Your sentence could have used an extra "was".

I can't imagine -30, sounds awful

I've seen windchills at negative forty to fifty in Iowa. Awful. It's really just splitting hairs once it is twenty below zero.

Probably 97.5 degrees. Maybe a lil lower in my extremities on a really cold day.

Arctic Circle
-47
Slept in a tent. Had to sleep with my film and batteries (under my arms) so they wouldn't freeze.
Wasn't really the coldest I've ever been, though. Got soaked in a storm at the Wax once while duck hunting. It was like 27 degrees, blowing a 20 knot stiff breeze and I was hungover like a dog. Lucky to have made it out alive. One shy of a three man limit that day.

Will probably be no wind and very dry so if you're dressed right it's not that bad. -30 is the coldest I've seen in Beaver Creek, Yukon Territory. With wind chill it was -55 here in Juneau

-60 Wind Chill halfway between Dickinson and Williston North Dakota in February of 2013.
Actual temp wasn't that bad, was around -15. I can deal with that, but 50-60 mph wind gusts make you feel like you are standing out there nekkid. Doesn't matter how many layers you have on, or how strong a windbreaker.

Top of Peak 8 in Breck. -8 with a wind chill closer to -20. Wasn't enough ski layers in the world to keep me skiing that morning.

I would take 20 degrees over 100 degrees. I like the cold as long as the wind isn't blowing too much.

-20s in Alaska. I remember Fairbanks got into the high -40s around Christmas one year I was there, but it didn't get that cold near us.

I'm actually watching my swimming pool freeze over in my back yard right now. I don't think it will get above freezing again here until Saturday or Sunday.

-25 in Breckenridge. Low winds but still hurt. Early morning with no sunlight yet. Low humidity though! Haha.

Spent weeks doing heat trace in the part of Associated Grocers freezer that's -25. Even wearing a freezer suit, I could only stand it for a 45 minutes at most before my core got too cold.

Pops Midnight used to tell me stories about Alaska - he was below the Arctic Circle at King Salmon AFS a a weather and radar detection site and once hit -60ish wind chill (I'm guessing temperature was about -30 to -40 - that's about as cold as it gets there) during a blizzard. He said he was colder in Wyoming at 18 above than Alaska in the whatever it was below.
