Chicago, the actual low of -9F (-23C) for last night & 0F (-18C) during the day.
Today is warming up, we had +8F (-13C) ..... .
The water mains are popping like crazy around.

The one year I lived in the Chicago area it got to -27 F (-33 C) actual and with windchill it was ~-4/50 F (-40/45 C). My brother and I went out in it. We were in 3 layers of clothes and coats with two hats and scarfs. It was rather fun, the entire area was dead quiet that day.“Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get outâ€

Wasn't this in 1985?

The coldest I've experienced was in Banff Alberta a few years ago. The air temp was -33C, with a windchill nearing -50C. That was the high during the day. We went skiing in that crap. Well, if you can call doing three runs with 30 minute hot chocolate breaks between each one "skiing".Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox

This would have been my coldest experience:
10 January 1982, Sudbury, Ontario: Low temperature drop to -39.3° C.(-38.7° F) at Sudbury, its coldest night on record.

yeah but no heat or shelter because I spend all my money on hamburgers
Just incase anyone was wondering, that was -41.7 withOUT windchill. Luckily it wasn't too windy. In '96 I believe, we had a day that was in the -40's and it WAS windy. I seem to remember it being ~ -70C with windchill.Q9450 + TRUE, G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2, GTX 560, ASUS X48, 1TB WD Black, Windows 7 64-bit, LG M2762D-PM 27" + 17" LG 1752TX, Corsair HX620, Antec P182, Logitech G5 (Blue)
