I didn't think snowmobile trails went up in the mountainous terrain in NH? Was this in the White Mountains or a large hill?

Ok, I have to update my coldest. Went camping this weekend and Saturday morning it was a frigid
-3*F. Needless to say, I was very cold. Will not do that again.

The coldest I would have seen is around 32 or 34F...Very boring for this thread I know but it doesn't get that cold here.

Rural central Kentucky in the late 50s, I saw -17F on our (reliable) thermometer. With the winter clothes we had at the time, it didn't take me long to get the chores done that day and get back inside. Thank goodness the coal bin was full.

A little below Zero perhaps about -5 .......Thats about what we remember as the lowest.

Lowest temperature I supposedly experienced was -41 during the blizzard of 1994 when I was 2.


Lowest temperature I remember I experienced was -31 in February of this year.

I've seen -40 F which is also -40 C.
That's about 85 degrees F or 48 degrees C colder than I'd "like" to see.
