What's the coldest weather you have been in? A couple of years ago, some friends and I were hiking and camping in Tennessee close to the Nolichucky river. One of our imbecile friends left our bag containing a couple of sleeping bags and heavy blankets. One night it got pretty nasty with a snow/sleet mixture. I bundled up with what I had, but it wasn't enough. It was pretty miserable.

I'm sure plenty of you have better stories than that.

I dropped my spare apartment key in 12 inches of snow a few weeks ago and had to dig around for it, it was -15 degrees with a -30 wind chill

But the coldest I have been personally was when I camped out for the PS3 back in 2006. It wasn't cold temperature wise, in the 40s or so, but sleeping in a tent on the cold hard concrete sucks balls and is miserable.

Sleeping in my car with shorts, flip flops, and a shirt as my only sources of warmth. Weather outside was rainy, mid 30s, and windy. Probably got 1 hour of sleep that night kept waking up to turn on/off the car for heater warmth. Worst night ever.

Somewhere in the low -40s with windchill more than a few times living in Minneapolis, Madison, and Chicago.

Edit: last year's winter in Chicago was by far the worst I've ever experienced. It was exceptionally cold.

Montreal NYE two years ago. Weather fluctuated between 0-10 degrees the whole time and snow heaped everywhere. Wasn't too bad though. I stayed drunk the whole time.

Teens with single digit windchill, and that's as cold as I ever want to be ever again.

Yeah, I'm a pansy.
