That's about the coldest I remember. It froze the hairs inside my nose. Ouch.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Don't forget the wind chill back then
it pushed the numbers to -60F for 4 weekends straight. I was living down the street from campus 2 blocks from the lakefront. Some of the bars in the area had a major drop in attendance because only the diehard alkies ventured out in search of boozy nights.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter was so absurdly British that you can't even read his name without being compelled to brew a cup of tea.
