Is this a real temperature?

I have been in Mancelona when it felt like that. Oh the days of snowmobiling.
I had -12 in Mt Pleasant yesterday morning.

In Mancelona, yes all too real....

is that where you are now? I spent many winters on the other side of Antrim County. Don’t miss it at all.

I am not, I am a couple hours south in Grand rapids. My in-laws live there, I sometimes scroll through other areas on my phone, just to make me feel better about my temperature.

coldest i ever saw was -26°F in Laramie, Wyoming in 1987
all you had to do was stand outside for 30 seconds, the nose would run then freeze- snot-cicles for everyone!!!
the blown snow felt like razorblades on any exposed skin
diesel fuel starts to gel

I saw -26°F on my phone while I was in Florida one year. It can get mighty cold in Northern Michigan, before that I lived in Arizona for 8 years so I'm kinda done with extremes.

What’s the difference between +15 degrees F and -15 degrees F?

Shoot last year mid February it was -20 with a -56 windchill. Ridiculous cold. We’re at -7 now with a high of 18.

The windchill is really the worst. A couple degrees below zero isn’t a big deal. Just have to keep the wood stove full and the generator fueled.

I think these numbers are only used in the USA.
Oh yeah - sorry. I forgot about Liberia!

Yeah, yeah, we know, American is a foreign language to Commonwealthers.
