Tch!
Seriously though. I think the world's record low temperature was recorded at Mt. Washington in Maine(?).
Something stupid like -90*. Cold enough to freeze one's eyeballs.

I was actually lamenting my "softness" just the other day. My kids were complaining about the short walk up the drive to catch the bus in the cold. I had to remind them when I was growing up in the Ice Age that we had to walk in the snow to school up hill both ways as buses had not been invented...and related.
