No, I've traveled but most places I've gone have been warm weather. I went to Minneapolis and New York a few years ago but both were around August and September.
Forgot to add to that post: oddly enough I was supposed to go to Denver this week for work but my trip got canceled a couple weeks ago because of a schedule conflict.
Here's a handy webpage with a chart and calculator from the NWS that might be useful to the discussion. http://www.weather.gov/os/windchill/index.shtml
:grin: LOL @ having to have a chart to determine the "wind chill factor." NO WAY!?!?!?! "With wind, the wind chill makes the temperature COLDER". You don't say? At what HEIGHT over SEA LEVEL!?!?!?!?!? OMG! I don't know!!!! I will die! Besides, that chart is from 11/01/01... maybe it has changed since then!!!! They need to update it!!!!!
-17 actual. Windchill was -35. In Des Moines IA. What really stunk was I was running my girlfriend home that night. I thought I didn't need a coat because I was just going to drop her off. On the way to her house I ran out of gas. The ONLY time in my life I've ever run out of gas and it is the coldest night of the year (and my life) and I don't have a coat and no cell phones back then - 1979. I had to walk/run to her house which the closest house of a person I knew and it was about 3/4 mile away. She had a coat and didn't want to run too much. By the time I got there I was shaking so bad that I could barely walk - seriously. Never been that cold - ever. Always remember that night and I always remember to check the gas gauge (that was low fuel light days).
I don't know if it was colder than now in Houston, but I will never forget an ice storm in Austin in Jan 96, all the cars crashing into each other down the hills.
