Lowest temps I ever experienced in my life were in NM. -18F that time. I never saw that kind of cold, even in Alaska. Granted, I was in Alaska during the summer... but still. -18 is plenty cold enough as far south as NM. At 7000 ft ASL.

We hit pretty darn low temps (below zero, but not teens - high single digits) with wind chill factors a few years ago. The coldest I've ever been was in February in Gunnison, CO. 22 below zero without wind chill. Once I got my car started, I'd have to let it warm up for several minutes before the transmission would even recognize what the letters other than P or N meant.

This winter alone, we've seen single digits and low teens overnight for several days.

We hit high sixties and low seventies a little over a week ago, and were in the teens and 20s for Monday.

Really screws with the local flora.

You are fortunate to be in Texas. Temps here in west Michigan frequently get to -18 or -20 and that is without the wind chill. This has been a bad winter, not as much snow as last year but way colder. We have burned up more wood than usual. As we get older each winter seems to get harder and last longer, and on the upside each spring is sweeter. I look at my garden completely covered with easily a foot of snow and I can’t wait to turn it over. It’s been in the teens for highs this week and I need to bundle up and bring in wood again. Hope your weight continues to rise. I could spare 30 pounds and if I could give it to you I would. If you like peanut butter, it’s great for putting on weight and lots of protein too.
