    The coldest I posted was in Colorado at 11,000 ft; it gets almost that cold in Spokane too.  The hottest was in Florence, AZ in August.

    1000 degrees when my house started on fire.  POOF.

    Coldest?  I passed out in Chicago on my front lawn, blind drunk and the wind chill factor was 160 below.  My mom woke up in the middle of the night.  She claimed she heard me screaming, but I was passed out cold.  It was not my time.  It would have been a great way to go, I would not even have known it.   BUT NO.  She HAD to interfere and wake me up and drag my drunk ass into our house and save my life so I will die some much more painful and humiliating way than that even.

    Thank you.  Where were you living when the house fire took place, and how old were you when the drunken stupor story took place?

    The fire was about 14 years ago.  The drunken thing was about 40 years ago.

    In July of 1995 in the NE part of the country, we had a day here in where the air temp was 103* with very high humidity.  The heat index was an astonishing 129*, which was very dangerous.  It was only one day thank goodness.  But a lot of elderly people in the nearby city died.

    The coldest was probably a few degrees below zero with some wind, making the wind chill around 40* below.  Not too common where I live, but have experienced it.

    I live outside of Philadelphia, Pa.  That would be in the very SE part of the state.

    Both temperature events took place there.  I have never lived anywhere else or traveled to any place with a more extreme. This post was edited by PeaPod is just popping by at October 9, 2016 5:34 PM MDT

  • I don't remember such trivial items because I use my brain cells to solve much bigger and more important problems.

    My climactic data is from my unofficial looking cat thermometer on my porch. My records only go back to when I started writing this stuff down when I was 12 years old. I don’t know if I experienced anything hotter or colder before then.  The cat thermometer was a present.

    So here are my records observed on the porch of my house.

    Record High:
    101°F on 16 June 2012 and 9 June 2016

    Record Low:
    -32°F on 2 January 2010

    Record Low High Temperature:
    -17°F was the high temperature on 6 January 2014

    Record High Low Temperature:
    80°F was the low temperature on 30 July 2006

    Earliest Freeze: 15 September 2011
    Latest Freeze: 16 May 2014

    The hottest temperature I remember being in is 105°F while I was visiting family near Denver, CO.  I don't remember the date.
