The coldest two winters of my life were spent at Great Lakes Naval
Training Center.


Cape May in February was pretty cold too.


My brother spent 3 summers in the Antarctic as a SeaBee. Said it got -70f
during summer storms. They could not drive the snowcats as the tracks
would break due to cold. Winter, the Russians had the alcohol thermometer
freeze at -125. Coldest I think I ever felt was a bright sunny day at the
1960 Winter Olympics. Did not have warm snow boots and was about 5F. Have
been in colder weather, but better equipped.
