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.

When I was a mud engineer in Colorado, I remember having to go out to the rigs one morning to do my checks and it was -25 degrees. Miserable day on the rigs.

I have slipped walking into the timber and filled my waders up pretty good before. It is cold. Never fell out of the boat though. That had to suck.

It was 0ºF a couple mornings in Snowmass earlier this winter when skiing. That's about it.

Bismarck, ND. Between Christmas and New Years of 1990. It was -35 with a -55 chill factor. I rented a car and left it running for 8 hours to see if it would heat up. It did not.

The hotel had a small casino with readily available sandwiches and beer. Things worked out fine.

Edited to correct temp

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.
