Lol thats in a car. I was riding my motorcycle

Then again I don't think it's ever been that cold here. We rarely get below zero and below feezing only a few days a winter.

100? I wish it was that cool.. Here in Brentwood CA we had 107 yesterday..

At those temps it's like riding in a convection oven..

Kinda beat you all. I was in Antarctica in February this year. 'Rode' around in an open sled towed by a tractor at ~20mph. It was -26 outside, with wind-chill I don't know what it calculated at.

-26 Celsius or good old Fahrenheit? Makes a big difference; if C, that is a hot spell for that locale. Gets colder than that in the midwest.

Up to 70 degrees F of frost and more are not unknown in the Yukon. Spittle freezes solid before it hits the ground.

70 degrees of frost is -38F or -39C.
