Coldest I've been, certainly in the UK was -20degC back in the mid 90s. Was heading to a friends house first thing after having a shower with my hair still damp and it froze solid.
I hate these threads, like the 'it's snowing one' I love the cold and snow but get next to sod all here
My friend lives in Yellowknife and -40 is normal in winter. They have to trickle charge cars overnight.
