Chicago, Illinois...lived there twice during the last 17 years or so. Both times I experienced actual winter temperatures in the -20F to -25F range without adding in the windchill.
I love Chicago but those were some mighty cold days...

Lived for many years in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The northernmost metropolis (big city) in North America.
Every winter guaranteed MINUS 40 degree temperatures (actual air temp, NOT counting windchill)

Yes, Edmonton gets mighty cold...for sure.. but at least you had the West Edmonton Mall to take your mind off of those frigid temperatures  |

When I was in Korea, was the coldest climate I had ever been in!
I promise you, it was about 10-15 degrees (Fahrenheit) in December 1998 to February 1999 (I was there from February 1998-February 1999). When I arrived, it was snowing and freezing. When I left, it was the same!!
God! that was FREEZING!!! BRRRRRRRRRRR!!! yikes!!
When it got that cold, we had to do PT in the gym. There's no way we were going to do a 4 mile run in that. It snowed really bad and it was very slick and slippery. We had to walk very slowly from our work place to the barracks everyday until March...That's cold!!!

I would not mind betting that Buxton, Derbs England is colder than even the part of Scotland near Edinburgh I visited in 1996/1997, due to our elevation.
As for the coldest temps I have experienced, no idea what where or when.
Edit: In fact a quick look at Edinburgh Airport's 2009 weather data shows it is indeed warmer than Buxton, Derbyshire...

Interesting. I wouldn't think elevation that small would much such a difference. AFAIR temperature drops by something like 1 degree C for every 100 meters. |

Buxton is 1,100ft above sea level (335m) but we are about 2c cooler than other places further east near the sea level. |
