What is the coldest state in the USA, excluding Alaska?

Answer 1

Minnesota is the second coldest state on average, behind Alaska

Answer 2

San Francisco the wind cilled make colder then actually

it the weather say 59F if feel more in 49F  

Answer 3

It depends on what you mean by coldest. If you mean the state that has the lowest average temperature, I am not sure. I would have to do the research.

if you mean the state that has the lowest recorded temperatures/wind chills just for the winter, I'd have to take a wild stab at North Dakota. They get the most "Canada-like" weather as far as cold blasts mixed with high winds (in the winter), with Minnesota and South Dakota being comparable.

I honestly don't know for sure without investigating climatological data. If you need the answer for sure, you can look it up (I've got a crying baby and gotta run!) at:
