Wow it's 34 degrees right now in Alaska I think you could actually use your state to open up and ice factory without machinery to freeze the ice lol yeah I think North Dakota is taking the record I was thinking about actually moving there because jobs were said to be plentiful but then I found out there's no place to stay and it's too cold for me and I decided not to go.

You give two local temperatures for one day. Hardly enough to determine which state is coldest.

Probably Montana up in the mountains.
