-24 in Wyoming. I didn't wear gloves because it was just going to be a quick step out of the truck. Turned into like 10 minutes. Not my finest hour.

I was stationed at Minot AFB in the late 60's and was out on dispatch one early Jan. night when the temperature was -37 with wind gusting up to 50 mph. The northern lights were as vibrant as I had ever seen. Frostbite would start appearing on exposed skin in a matter of minutes. Peeing on the ground would freeze before you were finished.

a wet 16 degrees in South Louisiana at ground level while 80ft high in a cable tray on top of a pipe rack with a 30 mph wind. No telling what the windchill was, but I couldn't feel my toes again until noon. I thought I was going to freeze to death.

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.
I was just south of the Brooks Range. Kinda like being on the moon, I'd think.

we have to carry a polar suit on certain trips at work which requires a polar suit class, I went to the class but I'll be damned if I ever put that thing on

The day I was caught out at the Wax was brutal. Someone died of hyperthermia that day (what I read in the paper). It was a freak storm that came out of nowhere. It really sucked but the birds were flying.

How do those folks live up there.
This isn't normal. It happened twice last year and people are still talking about it. Normal daytime temps in Wisconsin are in the 20s, give or take 10 degrees. This -5 with -25 or less in the wind is something else.

I've traveled quite a bit, been in subzero up north. To me 25 degrees overcast and windy in S. La. is by far most biting cold .
