Pretty sure Omaha is the coldest spot on Earth. Checked into a hotel late and came down next morning to ask about days temp in the morning. Front desk clerk: “It’s 15 now but it’s going to get cold later today.” It got well into the negative teens that afternoon. I got the frick out of there the second I finished my work assignment and don’t ever want to go back.
That's a different type of cold.
I used to smoke back then and I remember walking out of the office and taking about 4 drags of a heater and thinking "frick this" and going back inside

Christmas Day and it was -40 with a wind chill of -60. That is insane.
There's cold, then there is this level. Unimaginable unless you have experienced it 1st hand.

I don’t know the specific number but it was well below freezing.

I was in Minot, ND last winter when the polar vortex broke out, I believe the real air temp was -25 and wind chill had it at -48. Diesel pumps at the truck stop I was at froze solid, I got out of the truck and stayed a couple of nights in a motel and that heater was struggling to keep up with the heat cranked to 11.

The coldest I’ve personally experienced was -24 F when I lived in Ketchikan, Alaska. I believe further north temps got a lot lower.

-35 with a 40 MPH wind while working in Northern Wyoming 2 years ago. Couldn't stay out too long before getting the onset of frost bite....

-65F in Manley Hot Springs in interior Alaska today

Coldest that I know of, like where I actually saw the temp on a thermometer, was -39, here in Bozeman on a completely still bluebird day in January about 13 years ago.
I’ve probably skied and/or hunted in around -15 weather counting a wind chill, but I don’t know for sure.

With the wind chill I think it got somewhere near -20 when I was in Iceland.

-31 F in an Ice cream vault. Direct blowers inside vault added a windchill of -60 F. I wet a t shirt and placed in front of blowers, the shirt was frozen stiff in 45 seconds.

I think I could manage the cold, but no daylight would be a deal killer for me. We still manage to get about 6 hours of daylight at least.
Without our arctic gear, it was miserable. Believe me when I say that on my last day there, wearing jeans was the biggest mistake ever
I might as well have been butt naked because that did nothing for me
I think working conditions were set to 10 minutes outside at a time

6 in Tulsa, OK. The worst part about it is that I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
