Coldest weather flown?

Lunkin airport, Cincinnati, several years ago, OAT = -30C. It became warmer as I climbed. sustained initial climb rate = 3000 fpm. it did not notice any other issues except avionics screens seemed to take a long time to get going.
Over Huntsville Alabama, +20K ft, OAT = -27C. that one did not end well but not because of the cold temperatures, it was pilot and altitude effects.
