Temperature during the Battle Of The Bulge?

A question i have been wondering about for quite some time, since a lot of people froze to death. How cold was it during the Battle Of The Bulge?

 

here's some first hand accounts vegar.. Chapter 17 Tanks for the Memories | World War II Oral History | World War 2 stories

 

source u-s history.. Much of the battle was affected by the weather. Great snowstorms were a big problem. Trucks had to be run every half hour to keep the oil in them from freezing. Weapons froze, so men urinated on them to thaw them. The temperature during January 1945 was the coldest on record, and casualties from exposure to the cold grew as large as the losses from fighting. The Germans attacked in white uniforms to blend in with the snow. ray..

 

source ohio.com.. vet on the cold.. ''How cold was it?'' said Delli of the brutal weather conditions at the Battle of the Bulge. ''We spent about three weeks in frigid weather. Our feet were half-frozen all the time. We never had any place to sleep other than laying in the snow with our backpack and a rifle.''

 

To freeze to death is just to die from Hypothermia, so temperatures (in Farenheit) below 50 degrees can do that to you if you aren't moving around and keeping warm. I don't think it was a case of things like minus-20 degree weather or anything, just exposure to constantly cold, near freezing, and below freezing temperature.
