    I experienced -40ish wind chills back in November in Montana.... for someone who had never been in weather below single digits.... that was brutal.

    Bundle Up out there fellas.

    Gonna be 10 degrees here in VA. Now that is cold for this part of the US. Looking like we are going to get a couple of inches of snow tonight which should make tomorrow real interesting.

    I love to see southeners get a taste of what we deal with every winter.

    When it gets below 0 I throw on the coat instead of just going with the hoodie. It is funny how you get used to the cold. Up here it is a dry cold so it really isn't that bad.

    Not sure exactly, 35-40 I believe. I usually don't pay attention to wind chill. Once you're below -0 or so, wind is wind. -35 and calm, I'm out snowshoeing, -0 with a 10-15 mph wind, I'm next to the stove with some coffee.

    It would have been great if those temps had arrived during deer season.

    WATCH IT NOW!!!!! I grew up in northern Michigan....

    I will add one thing cold down here is way different then the cold I dealt with in MI, mainly because of the humidity down here.. It's the difference in a dry cold and a wet cold.... 20 degrees and almost zero humidity is not cold as long as the wind isn't howling, but 20 degrees a 88% humidity is freaking cold...lol

    Very true with the cold humidity. The coldest I have been in my life was when I was down in East Texas working the space shuttle recovery in 2003. Got about 1/2" of snow and some freezing rain. Our "camp" sleeping quarters was an old cotton warehouse we set up tents on the cement. I was wearing long underware and in 2 sleeping bags trying to stay warm at night.
