I can't remember a specific time. Iowa when it was -15 ... Saskatchewan in single digit temps and wind chills in the teens ... duck hunting in the early 1980s at -6 when it dropped four degrees in a couple of hours. Family went to Bozeman about 5-6 years ago and it was -22 wind chill when we landed. Stayed in a cabin and it got down into the negative-teens that night, like -12 or -15 or so. That was damned cold.

But I know, and have had conversations with other folks who have experienced it, that I'd rather have to deal with frigid North cold conditions than a damp, cold day with slight wind in Alabama in January or early February.

Sitting in a stand in Illinois or further north when it's dry and cold is far different than a damp cold in the Southeast. The humidity, even in winter, seems to make a helluva bonechillin' OMGdamnationthisiscold difference.
