The coldest I've ever been? Sorry I don't have a core body temperature thermometer. But, I can say the coldest conditions in which I've been outside was -35C. Windy. I think stewie summed it up best when he said "freezin' my nips off out here..."

I remember shaking because I was so cold when I had to play a volleyball game in the cold rain and hail. It just sucked because I was wearing my tiny volleyball outfit which didn't help much.

Ive done -30celsius at Six Lakes Gokyo Camp at 19.000ft in Nepal. On another occasion, same place, 4 nights at between -20celsius and -22 celsius. On the North flank of Mount Aconcagua it was minus 31celsius at 6,000 metres, cold enough to freeze and ungloved hand pretty much instantaneously. One day I would like to try camping in the Yukon Mountains near Yutuvsk in Russia where temperatures are said to touch minus 70 celsius. The coldest ever recorded temperature was at Vostol, Antarctica - minus 89.9 celsius.

I was going on a walk with my grandma (a far walk) and then it started snowing lightly. There was already snow on the ground. Then it REALLY started to snow. We had to ring a total stranger's doorbell so they could invite us in so we could call home and have someone pick us up.
