On this (screenshot) I had temperatures as low as -59C. It was a race to craft parkas, tuques and boots for everyone. I was low on wood and metal, so I just couldnt make enough heat sources to keep pace with the drops. Inside was around 1 to 10C with slightly below zero on the rooms (even with vents). My indoor crops died.

And yours? I am curious about other people cold snaps and heat waves

personally ive had temps approaching -100 in some extreme playthroughs and I know some people have had lower than that.
Skullywag modded to death.
I'd never met an iterator I liked....until Zhentar saved me.
Why Unity5, WHY do you forsake me?

I've had a place go to -150C. -50C in summer, -80C in winter. Then I got a Volcanic Winter and Toxic Fallout (not like I'd be leaving in -150C).
Needless to say, I big maze became the best defense either, especially on a large map.

I think even SYTHERS froze to death. Centipedes with their -270 were fine tho.

How can you get food in such cold weather? hunting doesnt look like an option.

Corpses.

Canabilism for the win! When will the tribals learn to not throw free meat at me?

Thank you, Gentz! Finally someone says the obviously list-worthy quote.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

- 25 (-35 in some mods) mood modifier is worth cannibalism?

Its that or death bro. Thier are no animals, no soil for farming, nothing other -40C. All you have are the corpses in the ice sheet.

I end up setting up a clothing preset that just makes everyone take their shirts off, for some reason my female colonists get the nude rebuff when they don't have a shirt on, but my male colonists are fine

I can think of a couple of nice, round, perky-in-the-cold reasons.

And here is yet another quotable phrase courtesy of StorymasterQ.
