How cold?????
What is the coldest temperature you have experienced in your life, and the most snow that you have experienced? The coldest temperature I have experienced is around -12f, with a -22 wind chill. The most snow that I have experienced, is probably 24in.

Haha the coldest I remember was this past January when it got down to 12 degrees.
Although supposedly when I was in elementary school it got down to at least 9 but I cannot remember.
The most snow that I have ever stood in and seen in person was at Wolf Creek Pass, CO on around July 10. Just some remaining drifts in the shad and on top of a mountain that even blocked the road to the ranger station or whatever it was.
THe most snow I've seen fall was actually this past March. On the 1st it snowed about 3 inches.
If allowed (meaning, if I knew how to post pictures on here) I oculd show some of the results.

The coldest for me was in NC in Jan 2007. Probably a little below 0 and saw about 1 inch of snow. I would to feel more cold and see more snow someday.

Visit Toronto in mid-late January; we often get our coldest temps of the year then. 
Snow is usually ankle-knee deep, most of the winter here,
and our average snowcover is LIGHT compared with most of Eastern Canada.
*If you want to see A LOT more cold AND snow, visit Montreal or Quebec City mid-winter.
These areas easily get 2-4 times the snow that Toronto gets; waist-to-shoulder high snow is common.
(the Prairies get breath-taking amounts of cold, but no more snow than Toronto) |

I have experienced -31F that was with a windchill near -55F.
The most snow I've experienced in one winter season was around 8 feet of snow during the Winter of 2000-2001. On average I experience around 3.5 to 4ft of snow during a Winter season. |

I would have to say somewhere around zero with a wind chill of negative something. I grew up in PA on a mountain so it could get pretty cold there.
I am really glad I am not there anymore I hate the cold now.

It's pretty easy to imagine.
-Garden hose filled with ice water spraying you and a horizontal fan running at full speed, from the same direction as the ice-water spray. |
