For recent times, it was the 29 F (-1.6 C) high I got on January 7, 2014 under full sun.
The 1980s probably had colder highs than that, but I wasn't around to experience it.
The polar vortexes these past two winters were unable to dig as far south as the one in early 2014 did.

However, I've lived through a 13 F / -11 C on February 4, 1996 and a 9 F / -13 C on January 18, 1994.
The human body is FREAKING DEFECTIVE, WHY CAN'T MEMORIES START AT A FEW MONTHS OLD INSTEAD OF ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD? I HATE INFANTILE AMNESIA! IT KEEPS ME FROM REMEMBERING 1994 AND 1995 AND REALLY DAMAGES MY ABILITY TO REMEMBER 1996, 1997, AND EVEN 1998!
I'm just going to claim anything that happened after December 25, 1992 to be something I lived through. Make that May 1992 I was alive, just in my mother's body.
I remember the January 2003 cold wave as well. Dropped well into the teens fahrenheit down here that morning, but at least the high that afternoon ended up above freezing, lol.

I remember that cold wave too, because it dropped to 32 F down here that morning (in the western suburbs of Miami) I believe MIA and FLL dropped to the mid 30s.
EDIT: Oh wait, I haven't "seen" that since I wasn't born yet. In my lifetime, I've probably experienced a 10C high in my city. Not sure when exactly though.
Coldest high I have seen here is 9.6C, which was the day the coldest ever December temperature was recorded in 2014... The coldest ever daytime high in Malta is 7.2C recorded at Luqa airport in 1962...
February last year I think was the coldest high.....-23C
