The coldest day of m life was the day I helped load 75,000 gallons of hot oil aboard the ore carrier Masabi Miner at Taconite Harbor, MN.
I think it was 25 below zero with a brisk 30 mile per hour breeze coming off the big lake.

I got to experience -48°F (no wind) in Alpine and wind chill of -72°F at Deadhorse, both Alaskan North Slope.
The -72 I stepped off the plane with my jacket open and no gloves. I hadn’t check the expected temperatures when leaving Anchorage.
