You are correct. It was operator error on my on-screen RPN calculator
with the negative number: not realizing I needed to hit enter after
changing the sign.
The coldest I have been in was -48F in Pullman, Washington.
My father asked my brother and me to go with him to the grocery store,
but when he could not get the car started ('54 Ford with 6 V battery),
he suggested walking there. About half-a-block later I said, "This is
nuts!" and turned around. Once inside, I looked at the outside
thermometer and saw only a speck of read at the bottom of the scale
which went to -50F.
