85%

[irlinit]

I've never even experienced below about 10F

[EverBlack]

The best guess is that more than 73% of people in the USA will never experience a temperature lower than -20.
I think only less than 0.04% of people in USA will experience temperatures below -50.

People do travel though. I have experienced 0°F only 2 hrs away from Nice which almost never goes below 30°F.

I experienced near 0 F conditions in Boone NC this past January when going skiing. It was one of their coldest nights of the entire season. I couldn't go outside for more than 30 seconds until about 11 AM when the temp hit 20 F, and I had about 5 layers on. It's the coldest weather that a southerner like myself had ever seen, and it's one of the reasons I refuse to live in a place like Michigan, Maine, or Minnesota.

Almost got the first one this winter with a minimum of -18F. Although by the time I went outside to actually "experience" it was up to -7.

This winter we only dropped to 9*F twice, although I only got to experience 14. The south isn't likely to hit below 20*F, and the record in my city is -6*F. The upper south can though, as well as the Appalachia (I.E. G8RCAT from Kentucky)

But the vast majority of americans never felt that temperature. And the vast vast vast majority of people on earth have never felt that temperature.

Sorry to break it to you G8RCAT but Lexington will never ever ever see temperatures colder than -29F and definitely not colder than -39F at any point ever. You will never feel temperaturees colder than -35F ever

Most americans have never felt temperatures colder than -18F and that's a fact.
