	Always milder at the beginning of winter than the middle. Don't expect the temp to drop anywhere near that cold in November or December.

	Shenanigans! The question clearly states that the lowest temperature is "excluding Alaska" but the outcome of -58 occurred in Chalkyitsik, Alaska. -40 should be the correct answer. Shenanigans!

	Can't buck Starman. I used to live in Minneapolis and I hardly remember it getting to 40 below upstate until January/February. Even with climate change, I see no reason to go against history on this one. Can't buck Starman.
