So Hokie Fans. In honor of the cold, what's the coldest you've ever been?


Please note that I'm from Rochester, NY. Famous for snow and cold (OK, not as cold as Minnesota and that area, but still pretty damn cold at times).

And the coldest I've ever been? Blacksburg, VA, on/about Jan 20/21, 1985. The 49'ers, with Joe Montana defeated the Marino Miami Dolphins and the whole midwest to east coast area was hit by record colds.

Here's the link to the interactive map to show Virginia record highs and lows. The ALL TIME RECORD LOW for Blacksburg, VA was January 21, 1985. It was minus 18 degrees, and I remember some people saying that the wind chill on the drillfield was minus 60 (Though I think minus 45 was probably closer to right).

So cold that the even floors in O'Shag, Prairie side, didn't have working heat. I was 4th floor O'Shag, Prairie side.
