Negative temperatures can only exist in a system where there are a limited number of energy states (see below). As the temperature is increased on such a system, particles move into higher and higher energy states, so that the number of particles in the lower energy states and in the higher energy states approaches equality.

Temperatures that are expressed as negative numbers on the familiar Celsius or Fahrenheit scales are simply colder than the zero points of those scales. Certain systems can achieve truly negative temperatures; that is, their thermodynamic temperature (expressed in kelvins) can be of a negative quantity. A system with a truly negative ...
Temperatures could drop as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero in the northern Plains both Friday and Saturday night and combine with gusty winds to make for frigid wind chills as low as 50 degrees ...
Particularly during the overnight periods this week, temperatures across the Central states will drop into the teens and even several degrees below zero at times.
Bismarck, North Dakota, plunged to 39 degrees below zero Tuesday, their coldest temperature since Jan. 15, 2009 and only 6 degrees shy of their all-time record low.
Freezing [1] or frost occurs when the air temperature falls below the freezing point of water (0 °C, 32 °F, 273 K). This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface. This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface.
'Warmed up to 24 below zero' In Minot, North Dakota, city spokeswoman Jen Kleen her car's temperature gauge said it was minus 32 degrees while she was driving to work on Tuesday morning.
But the combination of an expansive cold front and an upcoming surge of cold, Canadian air, will change that and temperatures could drop to 10 to 15 degrees below average by midweek.
