What's the coldest temperature ever recorded in your area and state. The record coldest was -9 in Atlanta. The coldest in the state was -17 in Floyd county in the NW corner of the state. Early this morning was pretty cold too with 18 above 0 Temp and a 20MPH NW wind blowing on my back deck.

Without Googling,and from my memory only( I thought this thread was meant to mean that YOU expierienced),was 1983,I was working in Kenner La, PD,and living on the northshore.Temps got down to an even 0*

I had just bought a "new" car ,1973 Maverick,(which is how I got my username from an Lt.),anyway,I was crossing the causeway,a 24 mile bridge over Lake Pontchatrain,I was feeling pretty good that in all that cold the "new" car started right up and was running great.As I am crossing the causeway at 65 mph,I am thinking how cool that everything works.THAN,the male in me came out

and i said to myself"self,everything is working great,I wonder if the windshield washer fluid froze??"

,Did you guys know,that the human thumb is faster than the brain???

Now picture a 65 mph wind chill at 0*,over a large body of water,and the thumb hits the button,can you say "ICE",I drove the last 8 miles with my head hanging out the window like a puppy dog in spring.

,got to be the coldest this boy has ever been
