WOW - worst we got last week was -40F before windchill. (With windchill -63F).
Where you from ?

I have seen -50F here, but not very often - only happens occasionally, perhaps once in 3-5 years. We get some -40F pretty much every year.
Maine. We don't have it that cold every year, either, in fact, I think that day was a record for the date, but it gets plenty cold enough to have to be careful from time to time. Most years we at least have a stretch of a couple weeks or so when it goes way below zero and stays there, even down to the midcoast area. It's really not so bad if the wind doesn't blow--that's the real kick in the tail. Southern Maine usually gets a free pass with temps 10-30 degrees warmer, but they have more heat in the summer, too, which they may have, with my thanks.

This week looks to be milder, snowed last night and today got up around 10F or so; I looked about noon and it was 6F but I think it was a few degrees warmer in the afternoon. Supposed to be somewhere near 20 tomorrow and most of the rest of the week, last I looked, and mostly clear until Friday, so that's perfect Jan weather.
