And, no, @barrister1602 your exs' vaginas do not count.
-11 air temp, -30 wind chill, Amarillo, TX 2005.

The coldest temperature you have experienced was where?

Last one that I remember was -13 (don't know what the wind chill was) in Gaylord, MI about 5 years ago. I could feel the water particles in my nose turn to ice as I stood outside to pump gas.
Honestly, when it gets below, say 15 degrees, it almost doesn't feel any colder as the temperature drops. Stuff just freezes faster. It could be 15 or -15, and it feels the same - just brutally, painfully cold. At -40, your spit freezes before it hits the ground.
Yeah, that was def the one thing I noticed. The only thing that changed was how long I could stay outside with any exposed skin. At 20 it was about 7 minutes. At -11, it was 90 seconds.
Montreal in February 2014. It was something below zero; don't remember exactly because at that point numbers don't matter.
That was coldest temp but the coldest I've actually been was test shooting all day in Sweden with snow on the ground. Wasn't that cold but it became so damp and bone chilling.

Probably -20 air with a wind chill of -78. No shit. Lewiston, MT in the late 80's. Couldn't be outside for more than 5 minutes. We had a week of temps in the -20's for a week. Honestly, once it's below zero it's fukcing so cold you can barely tell the difference.
Found an article:
If you remember the winter of 1989, you’d probably like to forget the record cold front that rolled through Billings from January 30th through February 4th. Temperatures in some areas of the state dropped below -50. To make matter worse, high winds resulted in a wind chill of nearly 70 below. Billings set record lows for five consecutive days.

I honestly don't know and never really paid attention when I was younger, it has to be some type of negative temp though. My FB popped up a picture the other day from 4 or 5 years ago when it was 20 degrees over here.
I go to NE Pennsylvania for a week every winter. The coldest I've experienced there was a few degrees below zero. I tend to stay inside when its that cold though. The coldest I recall being was at the Liberty Bowl watching us lose to Miss. St. It was only in the high 30's from what I recall, but it felt much colder.
That -20 degree day in Cleveland was the straw that broke the camel's back for me to move to FL. I was done with Ohio after that.
Actually for me, it was in Florida. When I was going to Stetson for my first 2 years of college I was painting for a living. I was working at the TG Lee Dairy and had to paint the warehouse sized freezer. I don't remember what the actual temperature was but with the fans they had going in there (blowing like a freaking hurricane), I remember the forklift drivers saying it was -40. Even with parkas we were only allowed in for 40 minutes at a time, then 30 minutes out.
-4 in Chicago, 1998. Days before the blizzard that dropped 21 inches of snow overnight (so obviously it "warmed up").
Fun fact: your nose stops running at that temperature. No tissue needed.

- 12 0r something like that in Breckenridge Colorado. We were skiing for a week. First four days were perfect. 25 - 30 degrees and clear with not much wind. It turned ugly as we were skiing back to our condo one afternoon, snowing, blowing and miserable. Went to dinner that night and damn near froze to death. The next morning the ski slopes were pure ice. I fell several hundred times before retreating back to the condo for the fire and some whiskey
Toronto -20. It was a business trip that also involved me being awake for about 40 hours straight. Definitely top 10 worst experiences of my life.
This. It got down into the -15 area at night and -70 wind chill. They were arresting the homeless people for their own protection.
Blowing Rock, North Carolina. -15 degrees, 40mph winds and a -40 wind chill. I swear it was snowing up.
