What is the coldest state in the United States? I think just about everyone would be able to guess that it’s Alaska, but what about the second, third, and fourth coldest states? We’re not talking the states that have seen the lowest temperatures, rather we’re talking the states with the coldest average temperatures. So while you might be able claim that your home state once got below -30°F, that doesn’t necessarily make it one of these top 10. These are the top 10 coldest states according to World According to Briggs.
