#QOTD 9 Feb 2026 - What is the coldest place you have ever been?
autumn python
grim kindle
Michigan
sullen sonnet
rain cedar
The freezer in work
autumn python
Remember moving out, showing up in Washington late at night, and thinking I should get some fresh air and wait outside the airport. Thought I had moved to a cold hell but really I just hadn't experienced any temperatures below 55 f yet 
desert eagle
Canada
hazy isle
probably Brasília
lament crag
Arctic Circle
lapis lichen
Maryland, probably. I haven’t been anywhere well known for its cold weather so MD was probably the coldest
light bane
right outside my house probably 
one of the times it got to -30 f
it felt like -44 like two weeks ago
oblique quest
worcester
light bane
in terms of climate, probably just slightly further north also in minnesota where it could get maybe ten degrees colder but I mostly stayed there in the summer
rich crane
It was pretty cold the other day in Minnesota. But I think like 10ish years ago I was in North Dakota when it was like -50°F out after wind-chill
native granite
In the presence of my father
primal marten
Buffalo around Christmas time. Was probably like 30F but wind chill made it feel like 5F
vernal lance
Big Bear, California.
placid helm
Definitely not the coldest I've been but it's been about -15 °c (5°f) today
distant nacelle
my hometown (it is COLD here)
frank geyser
Texas in October
thick laurel
The freezer when I worked overnights at CVS. It was the middle of summer, and I was starting to show signs of heat exhaustion. I went inside for a couple of minutes in order to cool off and get through the last couple of hours (I was the night manager, so I knew I was stuck there unless it got worse).
scenic arch
probably nz or this mountain I went to one time
