_ Cold enough propane and ammonia could liquidify. (See second chart in “Selected values” section.)_

Assuming, the -52 C is actual temperature and not wind chill.

Edit: I am informed it was wind chill, so nothing cool happened. It was just life threateningly cold.

As a Canadian that's scarf weather.

We've definitely hit that low a few times, but we also hit that low with the wind quite frequently. It's really not uncommon to hit -35 or lower but if it's windy it'll break -50 with the windchill.
