-20 degrees. Alamosa, Co. The seats in the car were frozen hard. When you inhaled, the moisture froze in your nose and thawed when you exhaled.

Leaving skiing one time in Breck, Co. We were up at about 4:00am since we had an morning flight out of Denver.

Temp was somewhere about -15F, windchill was close to -30F. We had 5 people in a small car, heater was on full blast the entire ride, and there was ice on the inside of the windows of the car.

-17 on a ski lift in breck and it was a whiteout. I thought I froze to the seat. Skiing was great though as very few idiots like myself were actually on the mountain.

Chicago in 2014

It was abysmal for almost 2 weeks straight. The trains weren't even working.

We had some insane number of consecutive days without sunshine that winter, too.

-30 I believe. It's really not that bad if you don't have wind. Wind is a major difference regardless of what the wind chill may indicate.

It's been in single digits locally for a couple weeks and comfortable, as long as the air is still.

Wind chill, -55. It was miserable. Couldn't keep the wind from pushing cold air to the skin.
