Can't beat it (gee, I really wish it was colder out!) but it hit -15F at 3:30 AM with a wind chill of -39. This is probably the coldest I remember it in the 28 years I've been living here.
The unfortunate part for me is my little 750 sq ft poorly insulated house does not have central heat. So with the wood stove cranking in the living room, I have a pedestal fan blowing heat into the kitchen and bedroom.
In the living room the tomatoes are ripening nicely in the 85 degree heat but the bed room is only 55F. The 55 in the bed room is nice for sleeping but there are times I open a window in the living room because it's gotten unbearable just sitting there watching the tube. The hounds like the heat and are usually snuggled up to the wood stove.
This is Woody and he likes it real warm. All we do is turn and baste every so often 'til he's done.
