-47 celcius is the lowest I experienced I believe. – 40 is not uncommon in Alberta Canada.
Glad I left!
-25oC or about -45oC with windshield.
It sucks to walk in the cold windy weather.
I think -7 was the lowest I’ve experienced, but that was in the snowfields so expected..
Where I live, the coldest it gets in winter is about 14 celcius.

I actually miss the cold of London if I’m honest. Except when you have to get on the tube, wearing 20 layers of clothing and it’s still 40 degrees Celsius.
Around -5 to – 11 here in Sweden now, if it doesn’t drop below that then it is just refreshing. I am always wide awake when I get in to the office, no matter how tired I was when I left the flat
I wondered how long it would take Tom to post on a thread entitle ‘how low can you go’!
The good news is that it’s a barmy 2.5c this morning in cloudy Wigan.:hattip:
It was -9 F for a high with a wind chill factor of -35F during our holiday trip to the Wisconsin Dells . Pretty damn cold.
I have experienced worse in The Dakotas and Canada where the still air temp was an honest -30F and wind chill factor was in the -50F range. This was way back when I was an Engineer and working on military bases and oil facilities.
Can someone convert that to C for me as I am curious what the numbers would be in celsius?

All I know is that that is fecking ridiculous Prof

Both fahrenheit and celcius are the same at -40
-50F = -45 C
-30F = – 34C
-20F = – 28C
-10F = – 23C
So when talking in the minuses especially the extreme colds its pretty similar.
Yeah Islandmaan Florida is USUALLY pretty warm in winter too though we do get cold snaps.
Your Island must be pretty close to equater tto maintain 69 as a low in January.I was in florida for the Holidays and one day nearly froze to death at 51 degrees ,the first few days in the 80s spoiled me LOL.Now I am back in canada when any day above -10 is a good day lol.
I’ve gone thru a couple major winters living in Ohio and Colorado. Shortly after I moved here we had the following weather and I started to think that I made a huge mistake, but I’m glad that I stayed. :cappy:
IN 1990…A SURGE OF VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR INVADED METRO DENVER. MANY TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE BROKEN AS THE MERCURY REMAINED AT OR BELOW ZERO FOR 85.5 HOURS AT STAPLETON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT…MAKING IT THE THIRD LONGEST PERIOD OF SUBZERO READINGS IN 118 YEARS OF RECORD KEEPING.
ON THE MORNING OF THE 22ND…THE MERCURY PLUNGED TO 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO…WHICH EQUALED THE ALL TIME RECORD LOW TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH SET ON DECEMBER 24…1876. IN THE FOOTHILLS SOUTHWEST OF DENVER AT TINY TOWN…THE MERCURY PLUNGED TO 33 DEGREES BELOW ZERO ON THE MORNING OF THE 21ST. ON THE SAME MORNING AT CASTLE ROCK THE TEMPERATURE DIPPED TO 26 DEGREES BELOW ZERO.
DURING THE PERIOD…OTHER DAILY TEMPERATURE RECORDS WERE SET AT DENVER…INCLUDING: RECORD LOW MAXIMUM OF 3 DEGREES BELOW ZERO ON THE 20TH AND A RECORD LOW OF 17 DEGREES BELOW ZERO ON THE 23RD. THE RECORD LOW WAS EQUALED WITH 16 DEGREES BELOW ZERO ON THE 20TH AND 21 DEGREES BELOW ZERO ON THE 21ST. SNOWFALL TOTALED 2.7 INCHES AT STAPLETON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FROM THE 19TH THROUGH THE 21ST.
After moving to the Dominican Republic for several months (where we had very little news) hubby and I landed in Florida to the following news and wound up driving back to Colorado in order to give the city time to clean up. We drove over 3k miles without incident only to get to our driveway and not be able to get up the slight incline into the garage. :sarcasm:
IN 2006…A MAJOR BLIZZARD BURIED GREATER METRO DENVER AND THE ADJACENT FOOTHILLS IN DEEP SNOW.
A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE CENTER PRODUCED DEEP MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW OVER THE HIGH PLAINS AND AGAINST THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS…ALLOWING HEAVY SNOWFALL TO PERSIST FOR 34 HOURS ACROSS METRO DENVER. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS RANGED FROM 1 TO 2 1/2 FEET ACROSS THE CITY AND FROM 2 TO NEARLY 4 FEET IN THE FOOTHILLS.
POLICE AND NATIONAL GUARDSMEN RESCUED HUNDREDS OF COMMUTERS STUCK IN THEIR CARS…AND SENT THEM TO TEMPORARY SHELTERS SET UP BY THE RED CROSS. ALL INTERSTATES AND OTHER MAJOR HIGHWAYS IN AND OUT OF DENVER WERE CLOSED.
GREYHOUND WAS FORCED TO CANCEL ALL BUS TRIPS FROM DENVER. MAIL DELIVERY WAS SUSPENDED. THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT SUSPENDED ALL METRO DENVER BUS SERVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE MARCH 2003 BLIZZARD.
METRO DENVER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS INCLUDED: 34 INCHES 10 MILES SOUTHEAST OF BUCKLEY AFB…24 INCHES IN AURORA…22.5. SNOWFALL MEASURED 20.7 INCHES OFFICIALLY IN THE DENVER STAPLETON AREA. 40 INCHES AT EVERGREEN.
SNOW COVER OF AN INCH OR MORE FROM THIS STORM AND SUBSEQUENT STORMS PERSISTED FOR 61 CONSECUTIVE DAYS…
MANY HOMEOWNERS WHO HAD EXTENSIVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND DECORATIONS IN THEIR YARDS WERE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE LIGHTS BECAUSE THE WIRES WERE BURIED IN DEEP SNOW AND ICE UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY OR LATER.
After living for several months in the Caribbean I have to say tropical is 100x better especially if a person enjoys the outdoors/nature.
Nothing sucks worse than than summer being over and knowing you have to wait 8 months for good weather to come again.
