-146f... don't think so!

[shoot-n-lead]

cold cold cold

[Rustyleee]

Mary's right -146.2 is what that comes out to. I'd say someone is trying to make air time.

[Lonegun1894]

I feel warmer already!

[leftiye]

It was almost record breaking if the -99 degrees was Fahrenheit. It's 55F in fairbanks. BTW

[GhostHawk]

Just south of Winipeg on the ND side. I've seen some stupid cold, went for a 6 mile walk at -37 once. 3 miles to a bar on fri night for smokes, a human face, and a beer in about that order. I had good cold weather gear but it was still stupid.

A single mistake, a fall, trip sprain an ankle could have been life threatening.

Winters have been too warm around here lately, not keeping the riff raff out.

Weather by photoshop?

There is no doubt they had a blizzard but the accounts I listened to were saying 70 mph winds and no mention of temps and when one goes to the Weather Channel or the Weather Network as in the original post I am just not seeing any support for that first graphic's temps.

I seem to remember a picture a few years ago of a thermometer sign that had went haywire and was showing -99.
The record is right around -80 for the US at least, but thinking that might be for North America. They think the record was broken iirc three years ago at Jim River, but it turns out the latest and greatest official thermostat FROZE at 79 below. lol

[Blackwater]

Whoa! And I thought it was cold HERE! The humidity here really acts like a heat sink, and sucks up all the heat you've got in you very quickly, but still, it's NEVER been THAT cold here, and I for one am HAPPY about that!

[jonp]

Sometimes the weather channel puts up stuff like that that is just wrong and a glitch. I used to go snowshoeing -30 quite often at home. Good wool clothes and no problem. -40 and it hurts to breath so better cover your mouth but still not much problem. 40 degrees and I'd be outside chopping wood in a tshirt. Nothing special just genetics I think. Luckily cold never bothered me much. Eveyone is different, though.
Lowest temp lower 48 was Rogers Pass, MT at -70. I was just looking at that place on google earth for some reason. Must have read a story about it during the last cold snap.

On this point, I'm pretty sure I'm not going outside if a hole opens in the atmosphere and it hits -100f. They don't call it Winterpeg for nothing!

[Red River Rick]

Obviously, some sort of glich in their system...........otherwise I wouldn't be here. Neither would a lot of others, as well.

When it get's that cold, fire freezes at -95C.:razz:

RRR

[RP]

lol fire freezes at -95c now that is cold.

I checked out The Weather Network for all of February coldest it has been is -16c in Winnipeg, It's a good site even has the weather for NZ says it's 24c at my place
my thermometer reads 24.8c
Very happy that it hardly ever gets to zero coldest day here was four years ago got to -6c
Stay warm
Robert.

No, I don't think it is cold where I live. My weather station showed 96 degrees, yesterday and it is 94 degrees at 3:46pm (right now). The sensor is in the shade, near the top of the porch, but it felt like a mild summer day.

It rarely gets below freezing here, and I am thankful for that. The coldest I have experienced was -10 f while wearing shorts. I had to repair a light fixture inside a walk in freezer.

[Half Dog]

Well...it's 71° F in Dallas today. Winter is still here.

[runfiverun]

I'm over in Odessa for a few more day's and 71 it wasn't.
I have had my coat on, off and on, the last few nights.
I think it's hitting about 50-f here which is far above the -8 with a light snow falling the morning I left home.

[MaryB]

Record low in MN was -62f.. -40c and -40f are the same air temp BTW! I live in the balmy warm end of MN where it has only gotten down to -31!

[kodiak1]

RRR you sound like some of them old boys out of Saskabush and their bull droppings stories!!

[opos]

But it's a "dry cold"

[Duckiller]

85* in So Cal today warmer tomorrow. So much for El Ninyo! Weather guessers are saying it will rain at the very end of the month .march and maybe April. If my engineering designs were no better than these meteorological forecasts/guesses I wouldn't have stayed employed for long.

[MaryB]

Yeah, indoor humidity is like 15%, finger tips split open, knuckles crack...


But it's a "dry cold"

[leadman]

It was 86 degrees today. Next week we may see 90 degrees. Humidity today was 18%. I have seen humidity down to 3%. I drink liquids all day and still feel thirsty.
Great weather to go shooting here if there is shade. Gotta cast boolits and load ammo!

[Walla2]

Made my wife mad this AM, the day before Valentine Day, really mad. Gonna be REALLY cold here for the next few days.

[shredder]

Well we do call it Winterpeg, but seriously guys, that is way off the mark. Surface of Mars maybe but not on this little blue planet!

[.429&H110]

Google uaf sign. Just that. Is a picture of the sign at -43 then at 93 and a lot of drunk kids who should really know better.

[375supermag]

HI...

I live in southcentral Pa...it was 6F last evening with 20+mph gusts.

Freaking cold...

I have hunted in colder weather but, this is cold enough for me. Had to be outside (work-related) a few times yesterday and even with some of my cold weather hunting gear on, it was still kinda chilly. Fortunately, I only needed to be outside about 20 minutes at a time. I can't wear all my cold weather gear at work...hunting boots are verboten(must be steel toe safety shoes) and I am not risking ruining an expensive hunting parka at work(I do have a company issued parka which is pretty good quality). If needed, I did take my arctic rated insulated hunting coveralls with me but didn't need them. Polar expedition rated insulated thermal underwear was sufficient protection. I did wear layers including a light jacket under my heavier lined coat on the receiving dock yesterday...probably didn't get much above 40F on the dock with all those open doors(dock seals are pretty much ineffective when the temperature gets that low and its windy) and the wind blowing yesterday.

[FISH4BUGS]

Here in NH it was 14 below over night with 30 MPH winds. We kept the wood stove loaded and running with an open throttle. Had to reload it every 2 hours overnight, but the coldest it got in the house was 55 in the bedroom. Who cares? You are under blankets anyway and with pajamas and wool socks you sleep soundly in a cold room.
Only problem is one frozen water line that does it when it gets way below zero. We are working on getting the house back up to temperature. So far we are up to 66 in the main room and low 60's in the rest of the house. If the wind calms down it will be a lot warmer quicker in here.
By noon we should be back to the low 70's in the house. High temp outside today is going to be 3 above and the wind is supposed to die down.
Hey....it's winter in New Hampshire.....what do you expect?

So how do you like it when it is 115 degrees? Ya, ya, I know....it is a dry heat.......BUT 115 is 115 any way you slice it.
I'll take the cold winters and temp in the 90's+ only for a few days out of the summer over 115 degrees any day.
To each their own.

[Hardcast416taylor]

Woke up to -6 yesterday, today wasn`t any better here in the mitten thumb. Wonder how far down the temp has to go for H*LL to freeze over?Robert

I used to be this way. But as I get older I really tire of harsh winters. It was 3 degrees when I woke up this morning. That's a lot better than the -11 it was at my place in the Poconos. But I am done w/ cold and snow. I work outside in all conditions. When it's hot or cold you do the same thing, take breaks. I find it's taking longer for my fingers and toes to warm up. My hands really don't want to work in the cold anymore. 115 is looking more appealing than sub freezing temps.

Well, I'm 67 and as long as I can still stack wood and bring it inside to keep the stove going, I'll take the harsh winters. I enjoy the outdoors and winter hike and snowshoe a lot. Take advantage of the weather. It is some beautiful on a cold winter day in the woods.
No such thing as bad weather.....just under dressed people.

[catskinner]

Dry cold? Dry heat? and you really don't feel it? Is that like a dry rain and you don't really feel wet?

[ascast]

got the water pipes un-froze- toilet flushed- now for that fresh coffee

-12

[birddog]

That would qualify for the coldest temp ever recorded. previously held in anartica 1983 -89 C.

[MaryB]

-10 last night, my house is now pretty well insulated and air tight so the winds didn't drop temp much except in my bedroom. Grabbed the super thick comforter and tossed it on, had 2 cats burrow under and sleep against my back and chest so I was toasty except for a cold nose! Had to bump the corn stove to level 4 of 5 to hold temps.

News headline today on MSN: Coldest temp recorded on MT Marcy (Lake Placid-Saranac Lake area) in Adarondack mountains of Upper new York State at -114 F with windchill. LLS
