-32 on Vinson Massif and somewhere around -50 on Denali. It felt a lot worse on exposed skin on Vinson because the wind was whipping, I have no idea what the wind chill was that day but it was likely well below -60. The interesting (cool?) thing about -50 temps is spit will freeze before hitting the ground. We were right on that line because if I spit down it would crack when it hit the ground, when I spit up in the air it would crack before hitting the ground. You can also make a pee stalagmite if you are dumb enough to whip it out outside. Climbing in super cold temps strips the body of water because the air is so dry and you hate to drink so you tend to only pee after the climbing is over for the day. I as most pee in well marked Nalgene bottles. One of the greatest comforts at the end of a day in a sub-zero tent is to climb into your sleeping bag and snuggle with a Nalgene bottle filled with warm pee. It's the little things.

I've been in the -10s but I think the coldest I have ever been was one march in Brunswick Georgia at a paper mill.
It was in the 80s for about the first 3 days and had been 60s-70s in Alabama for a couple weeks prior.
fricking cold front came thru for 3 days and dropped to the 20s. No coats or carhartts to be found at any store.

-34°F. Cut Bank, MT
At this temp, you had better have water mixed in with your coolant.
128°F Mojave Desert, CA
Roll your window down and if feels like an oven. The asphalt on the highway was almost 190°F. 0230, it was 72°F.

Coldest air that I have experienced was -27 F inside of a giant Borden ice cream vault.

80 below. I hope never to experience it again.

In Louisiana... During the '89 freeze, it didn't get over freezing for three days... It had three nights in the low 20's. Lake Pontchartrain froze.
It was hell getting him into the ground.

Wasn't that the year Exxon exploded? I remember that rattling the house and it got down to like 9 degrees.

Cold is cold. Once it gets below -10 it doesn’t really matter. It feels cold.
1994, my senior year in high school we went 30 days where it never got above -10. You just got used to it. On a dairy farm in norther Wisconsin it meant that every morning you went out early to thaw pipes out so the cows could get water. shite broke, you fixed it, it broke the next day, you fixed it again.
In 1996 it was colder. That one was brutal. Air temp wasn’t as bad but the wind. That slowed everything down but it broke after a few days. I’m pretty sure that this was the time that one place in Wisconsin hit its all time low temp of -54. I could be wrong.
In 2019 (I think) mail service was shut down for a few days because it was cold. I was a mail carrier by then and it was -33 one day. I knew this because I didn’t have to work and went ice fishing. The thermometer I had on the lake that day hit -33 at midday. It was colder at night. I did pretty damn well those days fishing in that. Pulling a sled out onto a lake a mile or so and setting up camp to fish. That was awesome.
Growing up in this state I view it like this….when you hit -10 you’ll end up dressing the same way as you do if it was -40. It’s cold. Deal with it. The difference between -40 and -10 is 30 degrees and it’s simply cold but doesn’t feel much different but from -10 to 20 above feels a lot different and that’s just a 30 degree difference.
Postscript….as a mail carrier I don’t mind freezing temps at all. Fewer people to bother me and the dog shite on their lawns is frozen. Win win.
