11. Minneapolis today was -17 temp and w/chill about 22 below

Coldest in ten years, but I remember weeks of this weather 10-15 years ago.

I have actually experienced -75 below TEMP in Alaska in 1976. We took extreme measures to keep trucks running. If your bare hand touched metal at that temp, it would WELD together instantly. Ralphy never saw temps like THAT!!!

I actually enjoy when the temp drops well below zero. The sun still shines and the air is so clear...
