What's the coldest weather you ran in?

Hi,
Today I set a personal record, running in 12 degree weather with a -3 wind chill. Note that, that was the temp when I went running and not the forecasted low/high for the day.
So whats the coldest you ran in?

Sat. I had a race and it was 4 with the windchill into the negative teens and it was snowing. Needless to say there wasn't a lot of people there. It was kind of funny one guy had a really full beard and when he got to the finish line it was full of ice and you couldn't see any hair. :-)

Re: What's the coldest weather you ran in?
hmm...just checked weather.com and apparently it was 15 degrees with a windchill of 2 about an hour after i was running today. it was tolerable though, im sure ive run in colder. honestly, i dont mind running in the cold that much. it kinda cancels out the ordinary aches and pains of running and gives you something else to focus on. plus i have a slightly creepy affinity for the numbness. in general, id prefer a half hour run to a 5-minute walk between classes by far.

Re: What's the coldest weather you ran in?
I think the coldest I ran in was about postitive 20 degrees...It was a great run. It had just snowed(we don't get much), the sun was shining, and I felt great. Anyway, that's really about the coldest it gets here in the lower part of VA. Right now, it's about 28-30 degrees and everyone is freaking out that it is "so cold!"

Re: What's the coldest weather you ran in?
It was -35 C (or -30 F) a couple of years ago. I ran at 7 in the morning on a Sunday. It was perverse.

It was so cold that the water pipes in the downtown core froze and burst, which in turn knocked out power for a good chunk for Toronto.

Today was my coldest run ironically. A high of 2, feels like 18 below with wind and everything. The run was alright, but my eyelashes started freezing...
