Jesus Christ, I don't even consider -10C that cold and it's the coldest some people have seen.
Last night here it was -18C, and everyone's going on and on about how it's above seasonal.
A couple years ago it was -32C here, but -45C with windchill.
At the very moment I posted this it is a balmy -12C.

As for hottest I've ever been in, it was about 110F for a couple days back when I lived in California, or ~44C."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It gets to be like 110 down here with the heat index, and I've been in -47 with wind chill. That was damned cold. We couldn't keep the house warm despite having the heat going full blast.

hmmm well if you factor in the heat index and wind chills, my extreme temps are:
110F during a very humid Chicago summer
-60 during a frigid, windy Chicago winter
ahhh the two seasons of Chicago...To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

The hottest: 108 F (humidity at 97 percent)
The Coldest: -23 F (windchill at -53 F, with wind gusts up to 45 mph)
Sava: -60 in Chicago? is this including windchill, and what year was this?

One dreadful night in 1995... this was in the SouthWest suburbs mind you. I remember it because they closed school for 2 days on account of the cold and not the snow.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Yep that was my coldest day too, early february, right? They shut down Ohio State, not on that day but the day after when the temp raised to a balmy -17 F.* A true libertarian is an anarchist in denial.

Coldest: -43 C in Ivalo, Finnish Lapland.
Hottest: +42C in Alanya, Turkey. In Finland: +33C in Turku.I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.Comment

Coldest I have been in was -30F, not even including 50 mph winds, in the Laurentian Mountains in Canada.
I've only been in heat up to 110F (although it was NYC 110F), but my finacee survived 119F in Arizona.
Oh, and nobody asked, but I was once buried under 31 inches of snowfall in 24 hours in of all places the Catskills.It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. Benjamin DisraeliComment

Why do everybody mention the wind factor. It doesn't make the air any cooler?
And if the weather gets cool enough, the wind doesn't make any difference. Cold is cold...

It certainly makes it feel a helluva lot cooler..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

But why nobody empahsizes on "+44 C and no wind at all"?I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.Comment
