I grew up around #19 on the list.

19. Sioux City, Iowa


> Normal low in coldest month: 10.2° F


> Lowest temp. on record: -26° F


> Annual avg. snowfall: 33.4 in.


> Avg. wind speed: 10.4 mph

On Feb 2nd of 1996 the low was -23 before the wind chill and with the chill it was around -50. Going outside to deal with the animals and make sure they all had water and that the tank heaters were working really sucked that day to say the least. That was one of the last days of the cold snap that had lasted for a week or so but didn't quite beat the record.

I heard yesterday it was minus 70 something in MN and beer trucks had to stop delivery because the beer was freezing inside the trucks and blowing up.

Now that right there; that's a real first-world problem there.

I know right?!

-70 was the wind chill I guess and that doesnt effect anything beer trucks I guess

I am sure it affects other things as well.

IT'S SO COLD...

• 
  
  
  • Your false teeth chatter, and they are still in the glass
  • The rattling you hear in your shoe is your toe
  • Police tell a robber to freeze, and he does
  • Our words froze in midair and we had to put them in a frying pan to thaw them so we hear what we were talking about.
  • People look forward to getting a fever
  • Donut shops are serving coffee on a stick
  • I'm shivering like a mobster in the IRS office
  • We had to chisel a dog off a fire hydrant
  • Refrigerators are being used as heaters
  • You have to break the smoke off of your chimney
  • Lady Liberty put her torch inside her dress!
  • Prisoners are begging for the electric chair.
