Our weather is heavily influenced by the coast so we get maybe a week or two of negative temps every winter. Until this weekend-25 ish has been the lowest temp I’ve experienced. It’s pretty crazy being out in minus 30 degree weather. Grilled salmon last night and the boards on the deck sound like they want to shatter just walking on them.

What’s the coldest you’ve experienced?

Hottest was 127 in Parker, AZ. Coldest is around -15 but I don’t remember precisely what it was.

I spent one week on one week off in Cleveland for 18 months too. It wasn't as cold temp wise as it was in Nebraska, but that damn wind coming off that lake was pretty brutal. It was great in the summer though.

Hottest was in the Qatari desert in 2015. Temps were around 115 every day.

Coldest was -16 in Mountain Home, Idaho.

ETA: Coldest I've ever felt, though, was in South Korea. The temperature isn't that low, but it feels fricking colder there than anywhere I've ever been, including the two times I went to Alaska in the winter.

I traveled all over the country in my previous job so thankfully I had some appropriate clothing and experience for a Southerner.

I remember telling myself I wasn't going to spend $200 on a coat just going somewhere for a week, but the first time I found myself in negative temps I changed my mind real quick

-20s in Alaska in February. All I did was walk as quickly as I could from building to building. I remember when it got to 5 degrees and Sunny outside it felt nice.

Spent a week in Kotzebue AK when temp was -38 on arrival. Never got warmer than -10 the entire week! Hotel windows with blackout shades were drafty. And no liquor except what you smuggle in. Don’t get caught with it or they’d throw you out of the only hotel in town.

Paducah, Kentucky ice storm/storm work in 2009. I don’t remember the exact temps but I had never experienced anything like it.

Same as what you’re describing when working in North Dakota.
That winter of 2013-14 was absolutely brutal almost nationwide.
